4 Troubleshooting & Limitations
🦴 Model Mismatch
Do not mix animations between different ages or species (e.g., using a dog animation on a human). This will result in horrific limb stretching (Spaghetti Monsters).
🥴 Clipping Issues
Intimate poses (hugs, kisses) often cause clipping or distortion when played via Pose Player. This is an engine limitation.
🔇 Missing Props
When playing "Sim to Object" animations, the object/prop (e.g., cup, book) usually will not appear visibly, although sound effects may play.
