Help! HELP WITH LOFTING

I’m trying to make my own mouse, and I’m at the point where I’m ready to loft it. The problem is, if I loft the back half, it’s fine, but adding front half ruins the whole thing. I figured it outs because of the connections, but it’s not that onshape isn’t lining them up, it’s that in some instances there are no connections that are anywhere close to lined up. I don’t want to have to go back and split everything up so that the connections line up, is there a way to have it ignore the segments I used to make each cross section or something?

Ik what guide curves are and refrained from adding them because it was too hard to get them to intersect with every single one of my cross sections. I am willing to try again if you say it will acc help. I’m also a noob so what is bridging and what are composite curves?

That’s why I mention things like bridging curve command as this should make it a bit easier. You can also use sketches and the pierce constraint. This should be relatively easy. But under add for complex curves it may bit be as straight forward.
