How to enable S4Studios CAS Tools in Blender (2.79)?

Hi. In s4s settings, change blender path to the location where 2.79 is installed. Close blender if it was opened. Open it again and check if there is S4Studio cas tools. If not, then go to File - User preferences, click on Install from file button, navigate to _:\______\Sims4Studio\Blender\Scripts\, and choose io_sims.py, click on Install from file, close and open Blender and s4s again. If s4studio cas tools will still not appear, download 2.76

Yes, the .exe file where blender is installed.
If changing the path and restarting blender does not work, move blender and s4s away from your c drive

The 2.8+ versions won’t work with s4s.
S4S is a portable software from small developers that has to make changes in its own files that are in \documents\ , access game files and put a plugin in blender folder. Your system perceives this activity as a threat and something must be preventing blender from accepting the plugin.

Try adding s4s to exceptions in your antivirus(not disabling it but adding to exceptions) and running it as admin. Change blender path to 2.76 location. Restart blender. Check if s4studio cas tool has appeared.

Edit: Wait. Recovery drive? Isn't that just a partition used in case you need to set your computer back to factory settings? How many physical hard drives do you have installed in your computer? If you have just one, then it's your C drive and you have to install everything onto your C drive. If I understand correctly, you don't have to install your game into Program Files (x86). Some people, I think, have installed their game onto their desktop. Unless I'm mistaken, if that's the case, you'd need to install Origin to your desktop and then install all of your Origin games into that. 

I'm sure you've done some of this, and some of this you may not need to do at all, but here's a checklist:

1. Add an exclusion for Studio and (possibly) Blender in your antivirus. Read more here.
2. Make sure whatever drive you have Blender and/or Studio installed on allows full control.

• Right-click on your D drive.


• Choose properties.


• In the new window, click the security tab.


• Click the edit button.


• In the permissions box, click "Allow" next to "Full Control."


• Click apply.


• Click OK.

You can repeat these steps for every user. And you can do this for your C drive, as well. Read more here.

3. Make sure your file path settings are correct. Mine are for my C drive. I have full administrative control over my C drive so I have no problems.



Note that your Blender path must end with Blender.exe. Also, note that many times there should be a "\" at the end of your S4Studio path.

4. In Blender, open File > User Preferences, in the addons section type "studio" in the search box. Put a checkmark next to "Import-Export: Sims 4 Studio Blender Tools." Click "Save User Settings." Close Blender then re-open it to see if the addon was installed.
5. Studio requires Net Framework so check to see that you have it installed.
6. Studio doesn't support Blender 2.8 and above. It supports 2.70 to 2.79.
7. Repair your game.
8. Try removing the Sims4Studio folder in the Documents folder then restarting Studio.

How many physical hard drives do you have in your computer?

Sounds you have just one physical hard drive. A recovery drive is just a partition on your C drive. It's literally just a section of memory in your C drive that's been set aside and that contains the files your computer needs if you ever want to restore the computer to factory settings.

Don't install anything to the recovery drive. Install your game and Blender to your C drive. If you don't have administrative control over your computer, and by that I mean you're a secondary user, you'll have to assign full control to your user profile.

Right-click on your C drive—not the recovery drive. It's not an actual drive.

Choose properties.

In the new window, click the security tab.

Click the edit button.

In the permissions box, click "Allow" next to "Full Control."

Click apply.

Click OK.
