Crash on a Specific Clothing Item
The session is stable until one drawable is equipped (or previewed in a shop). That is a file problem until proven otherwise — not a YMT-slot problem.
Difficulty: Advanced · Affects: both
INFO
Search: crash when changing clothes, crash putting on shirt, invalid fixup ydd, specific clothing crash.
One item crashes
Advanced
Cause
Corrupt or unreadable YDD (sometimes the paired YTD): invalid RSC fixup, bad shader, broken LOD, bad weights.
Confirm
Other items in the same pack work. Remove that one YDD → crash gone. Texture a only vs all letters.
Fix: Open pack: replace that drawable. Escrowed: send the filename to the author. Do not decrypt.
Isolate the file
Gender
mp_m_freemode_01 vs mp_f_freemode_01.
Component or prop id (jbib=11, feet=6, p_head=0)
See Components and Props.
Drawable ID the shop shows
Drawable ID the shop shows (global and collection-local if you can) and texture letter a–z.
Map to the YDD / YTD names
See file naming.
Equip texture a only
One letter crashes → that YTD. All letters crash → YDD.
Remove or rename that YDD only
Restart / reconnect. Crash gone → that file (see Invalid Fixup if the dialog named it).
Open pack
Inspect embeddings / LODs in CodeWalker or DCT. Escrowed: stop. Ticket with gender, component, drawable, texture, crash string, video.

High-heel expression on an unpatched client is usually flat heels, not this crash.
What not to do
WARNING
Delete the whole pack
One vest crashing does not mean the collection is trash.
WARNING
Raise TxdStore / clear cache
This is a named file, not a pool or a slot.
WARNING
Decrypt the YDD
Escrowed: the author rebuilds. The buyer does not.
