i had wishlisted solar wardens for centaur 8 for ages, now today i finally could buy this fantastic product. yay!

however.. a little bad surprise:  i tried to load the wearble complete outfit - and DS crashes. every time.
if i load the items individually on the centaur, it seems to avolid a crash, but it's bothersome, things need to go on gm8, others maybe on the centuar body, and no specifications...

is it a system/resource problem, like asking too much pc power at once, my laptop being a sorry old piece of crap, or is this another issue?

and just so i know, what is supposed to be loaded on what exactly, if i have to continue doing it manually?

    What happens if you save your own wearables preset, having loaded the separate parts, and try to load that?

    same, DS crashes. but while i was loading all items i noticed 1 part of the armor is indeed meant for the centaur body - and when i save the whole outfit as a wearable, i had to save it as if it was all for G8M, which logically makes no sense. otherwise i'd have 1 wearable for G8M and 1 wearable for the centaur body, which probably makes more sense. the centaur body IS a kind of wearable itself... and i didn't save it into MY wearable with the parts SWC, maybe i should have...

    but if this little illogical point is the issue (meaning the PA saved as G8M wearable 1 part meant for the centaur body), then EVERYONE should have had the same problem, right?

    A wearable should work if items are parented to other children (e.g. the Centaur body) - and if it doesn't, DS shouldn't crash. I don't have the set to test, but it does seem unlikely that this is a universal issue.

    good to know about how wearables function in general! and yes, the crash is a bit seldom anyway. i also think that if it had posed a big problem to many people, there would be more than 1 thread mentioning this product marginally... still no clue what's going on tho. i love this awesome product, must say that using it isn't by far a 1-click thing, but ok, as long as i can somehow get my centaur dressed... it's not like i'm in a hurry.
    thank you for your time and infos! ^^

    however... what i find a bit sad is that from all users who (unlike me) regularly interact in all kind of threads in the forum and also purchased this item, besides the PA, or maybe people who have had this kind of issue somewhere or are just tech/DS smart,... only you replied...
    maybe i should have called my thread "random rant about anything and the weather, but also SWC issue" or "hey look i've made a random render of my centaur,'s new gear but it didn't load properly", or maybe the one that never fails to make feelings boil "i just got the crappiest oldest freebie ever and i'm not happy (and issue with SWC)".
    aaaand i bet just this last paragraph in italics will attract a lot of (technically/topically useless, but very opinionated) replies, because opinions are like you know what, everyone has one. yes, i'm a jolly fellow who is very appreciated in forums, lol. and i have a lot of friends too since i'm so charming.

    Testing it, I cannot reproduce this error.

    I note that the wearable adds a centaur body (and I think this is a limitation of how wearables work), so applying it to a G8M that already has a centaur geograft results in two centaur bodies, but in applying it to either a default or a centaur grafted G8M does not result in a crash for me.

    thank you so much! didn't expect a reply any more :)

    so, i see, that's how the PA coped with this problem of having 1 wearable for 2 items.so i tried with a G8M without the centaur then, and it crashed again...

    HOWEVER... after that i suddenly had a hunch. my standard version of DS is still 4.11, because i somehow didn't update until the (back then) actual version was at risk to crash on my lame old laptop, and in the end i opted for installing 4.21 beta to be able to use certain new features, but still keep a version that i was certain worked for sure. ideally i would have a 4.21 version and a 4.11 beta but yeah, not possible according to support.

    and see: in 4.21 beta, i could load  the complete solar centaur wearable on a g8M with no centaur body and no crash! no point trying with a full centaur just to delete a body.

    so it was just a version issue. a bit unusual and unexpected since when this happens, up to now DS never crashed, the thumbnail just didn't work.and nothing happened, i think i would have realized sooner what was the problem if it had done that....

    anyways, thank you for your help, knowing it should normally work somehow reanimated my brain cells to think properly and find the issue! ^^
