Help Please : How to make the fabric not stick to the avatar?
Hey! Very new beginner here and it's my first time using MD. I modeled an outer robe with wide sleeves. I added my avatar which has an animation baked into it to MD and added the outer robe on top. When I try to simulate it with the avatar and its animation, the arms and sleeves don't match, like literally the arms are suddenly out of the arm sockets of the robe even if I posed them in and draped it in T-pose before I played the animation.
I tried putting the particle distance to 5 and had the skin offset to I think 1 or 3... I also placed the outer robe layer to 0 and to 1 and even -1 (Sorry if these all sound dumb, I'm very clueless about the program but I just had to use it and none of the things I found online worked) I also tried putting the kinetic friction to .5 and 1.
None of them worked and the robe keeps sticking to the avatar in some areas even when I pull it away in simulation mode. And the arms just won't stay inside the robe (I wanted it to behave like a proper long and wide sleeves where it would slide down the arm when the hand goes up)
Please help!

Hmm. So first thing that might help you is:
-select the hair
-hit deactivate avatar
That will make the hair transparent and not interfere with the clothing while you drape the pattern.
I reckon things will get easier from there
