All My Character arms do not bend properly

I created a character in Illustrator alongside the default puppets provided. Everything looks good but while the default puppets arms bends in spaghetti like along X,Y- clockwise, my puppets arm bends in a Z direction (3D) or comes forward-ish meaning they can never wave. When I add the stick tool to make it bend better, it acts as if its pinned with only skin being pulled/warped.I even took the arms from the default character and put them on mine, but they react the same warpish way. Please see screenshots. HELP!!

Eureka!!! It was a simple matter of adding "+" to the main layer(puppet name) that holds the Head and body layers. Took me a whole weekend tracing my steps to see where I erred.

Glad you figured it out. This is an old existing issue that makes puppets add weird if that initial "+Character" folder isn't present. We hope to fix this in a future update so you won't have to do this again!

Does that mean that you will get rid of the "plusses" and, "crowns", respectively?

Please don't turn too many things upside down, it would be confusing. It's a lot of stuff to binge-learn, and it's inevitable that these kinds of issues come up when you do. Happened and happens a lot to me…
