Why I am unable to join separate meshes together?

Question

I downloaded a Sims 3 3D model mesh to make custom clothes for the game Sims 3. but I noticed all the parts of the models body were separated including the eyes, head, and feet. So I tried to merge all the separated meshes together by pressing the join key but I got the error no mesh data to join. I don't why or how to solve this issue and its really makes things harder for me. If you know a solution to this problem, please let me know. I must be doing something wrong. Here is the blend file of the model: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jpajin1epe8bvko/myobjectfile.blend

I have just successfully joined all your character meshes into one, so I don't know what you are talking about. How are you joining them? What hot keys are you pressing? What objects have you selected? Which object is the active one? — Duarte Farrajota Ramos, Oct 19 '17 at 01:55
I pressed on the join button in the edit section in the tools tab. — BerryHappy, Oct 19 '17 at 01:57
I also tried to the hotkey ctrl+J to join but I still got the error. No mesh data to join. Can you explain to me how you did it exactly by showing a picture or video? — BerryHappy, Oct 19 '17 at 02:00
All I had to do was press shift to join the meshes together. — BerryHappy, Oct 19 '17 at 02:01

You need an active object to join meshes together (a selected object that other meshes are being joined TO).
