Familiar override

I have a streamer/blogger sim that is about to become a spellcaster and he'd love to make his drone his familar. So I thought I could maybe create an override for one of the existing familars to make it look like the drone from Get Famous (the spherical one). The familiar I wouldn't mind sacrificing for this purpose is Velid (the one that looks like a voidcritter riding on a cloud).

I exported the drone's mesh and texture, however, I ran into an issue when I tried to import mesh the into the familiar's package in Sims4 Studio. There was an error saying "your mesh has a vertix group bind_drone that is not part of the mesh that you are replacing. Is there a way around this?

(I have 0 experience with meshing, the only modding I ever did was recoloring and basic tuning, so I'm at a complete loss here.)
  • This thread covers what that error is and how to solve it: https://sims4studio.com/thread/24613/solved-vertex-group-root-mesh?page=1&scrollTo=160034
  • I got it to work - The familiar now has the drone body and the little cloud from the Velid. Thank you!
