we are working on making improvement to the mesh tool all the time, and have some test versions in the closed beta group , plus are making other changes each day.
But there is still a LOT which is not known about the formats of the files for the games, it`s not just a simple case of assigning vertices to bones (one of the versions under going testing in the closed group allows this (works for most animated objects, see the fridge which exnem made using it.) but it still doesn`t work correctly for body meshes.
this isn`t any sort of attack on you, just a general statement, but it does kind of annoy me when people moan that the mesh tool can`t do something yet, or say it should do this or that, it has only been released for a week, please have a little patience, and improvements will be made.
It is however very unlikely that you will ever be able to add new bones to the sims, I don`t think the game will support it.
As for making new animations , this is another area we are working on, but again these things aren`t going to happen overnight.
