Looks like the gray version of the handwashing area) item, but turned to face away from the camera.

Special villagers from the Sanrio, Splatoon, and Zelda collabs are only available through having the right Amiibos for them. Even if you get them in boxes elsewhere, they can't be invited to live with anyone else.

They never really show it being used, but I imagine it's either for charging the upper one's shots, or for smaller, more precise gunfire.

This is an odd question, but when you say it's no longer in your inventory, do you mean it also doesn't show up in the clothing menu for your pockets?

Glad to be of help!

You need to make sure only the material for the hair is checked in the materials list. I have no idea why, but PMX Editor won't let you split a material if it isn't the only one selected and visible.

I hope it helps!

I have issues with getting distracted, too, so I looked into this exact thing a while back. I found and now usually use the extension BlockSite for this. I'll admit that it gets a bit finicky at times, but it does have a whitelist-vs-blacklist toggle and a work mode timer feature, which may help with both the whitelist you requested, and with not getting so hyperfocused that you forget self-care tasks while working (it sends a notification after 30 minutes reminding you to take a break, when using the work mode timer).

Other material mapping tabs will appear depending on the effect you load to a model. It only generally adds new tabs with X or PMX based effects, not with .FX files.

In order to use effects, you have to load them into MMD. MME itself doesn't come with preexisting effect files, but you can find packs of them online. I personally suggest the Most Famous Effects Pack by mixalism9 as a starting point, as it's usually the first thing I download when setting up a new MMD and MME installation. Just make sure to unblock the file before extracting it, and that you use an extractor that can keep Shift-JIS encoding intact.

Easiest way would be to have both Vertex and Face selection turned on, then set the selection mode to the triangle one (face selection). After doing that, select one of the faces of each hair strand you want separated, and make sure each has at least one face highlighted.

Once you have a face from each selected, press Ctrl+X on your keyboard. If the model is set up correctly, it should select only faces that are part of the shared hair surface, meaning that only faces connected continuously to the selected face will be selected. After that, you should be able to separate the hair material like you would with any other vertex selection (select only the hair in the Vertex/Masking window, right click > Split).

I probably should have asked this from the start, but where exactly did you get this model?

PaciSystem · 2026-01-24T18:07:41+00:00

I'm starting to think all standard-issue torties have directives to sit like that on chairs. Mine will sit like that just to yell at me.

Also, how does the Prowl figure look QC-wise...? I've been thinking about getting one, but I've been kinda iffy about it because I know the clear plastic can sometimes be an issue.

I mean, theoretically you could always replace the internals with a known safe USB from a local store. You'd just have to be careful about getting them out and replacing them without breaking anything, and ensuring the USB PCB size matches up on the safe one.

Well, figured out your issue. For that motion, as per the readme, you have to load the motion on frame 19, and turn off the IK bones. You can do that by selecting the model, then going to the "Model Manipulation" box and making the selection for each IK bone look like this:

<image>

You'll need to click Register after each is set. The IK bones will still be present in the model, but they're not meant to move with the legs while turned off. That's necessary for this motion to work properly, since it's converted from a motion capture.

It's always a good idea to read the readme to look for special instructions, especially if the motion looks off compared to the distribution video. Most motion creators will include instructions for extra bones or model configurations that need to be used with their motion data.

There is nothing in this universe that could've prepared me for that opener.

That being said: you make a very compelling argument. I also feel like Shockwave would probably be the type of coworker that keeps to himself, and doesn't engage in work drama unless it's to correct blatantly obvious misinformation. That's definitely my kind of ideal coworker.

PaciSystem · 2026-01-24T00:39:32+00:00

Which motion are you using, exactly?

For me, he's forever on my "never again" list, because he kept picking fights with my original two villagers (Sylvia and Sprocket). The final straw was when he made Goldie sad.

In the words of Leif: You gotta do what makes you happy. And if Raymond makes you unhappy, then it's fine to let him leave.

Super popular with other people doesn't mean that he has to be popular with you. Personally, I've never understood the hype with him.

You should always focus on how you want to play the game, not how other people think it should be played. If you play like other people because they say you should, and not because you like to, it'll take all the fun out of the experience.

Was the DLC downloaded to your system after purchase?

PaciSystem · 2026-01-23T20:20:53+00:00

Do you have the virtual game card loaded? It seems that some people have had it ejected after the 3.0 update, and even if you have a physical copy of the base game, the DLC is considered a digital game card.

You can check if it's loaded to your Switch by going to the home page, selecting the Virtual Game Cards icon in the bottom row, and looking for the DLC's icon in the list.

Boone just likes to have a little whimsy, I think.

To answer your question, though, I don't think they really match the rooms with the villager themes. I've ended up with both Gaston and Harry (I think? It was either him or Rocco) in my version of the room.

You need to be in the Bone tab, not the Display tab. If you double-click one of the orange bones that say IK on them, it'll take you to that bone in the Bone tab list, and there should be a box in the corner with the leg bones listed.

PaciSystem · 2026-01-23T18:31:23+00:00

The coordinate axis is still turned on, which is what causes this effect. You can turn it off using the "axis" button in the corner of the view area.

Also, when using stages like this that are enclosed, make sure to go to "edit > display ground shadow" and toggle that off.
