I'm operating on Windows 10, I have the lastest version of framework installed which is 06.0.10 (something like that). I can't append objects to the newest version of blender, which is like 3.3.1. I made sure to update the settings in s4s to change the path were blender is downloaded. i go to export the mesh. when i open blender to append that object, the mesh is not there.

Hi. Appending is the process of getting something from one blend into another with File - Append. Is this what you’re doing? Like this?
- you clone something, export the blend, open it in 3.3.1;
- File - Append - the blend from an old version of blender - then there’s nothing in it?
can you open the exported blend?

I'm using the latest s4s to export a mesh (island living lounge chair) and then im opening blender 3.3.1 and trying to append that mesh into my scene. but when i go to append, the mesh isnt there. it just shows like camera and lighting. so its almost as if the mesh never really exported from s4s |

I was able to append objects in blender 3.0 and Wishes version of s4s, i guess that has changed now? I am also confused by the instructions you have sent. Its saying select "All apps" and "Apps" I dont see those options and what app are they referring to? Sims4studio? |

Star/Aurora support Blender 3.3.1, you do not need to append anything, just open exported blend file in Blender 3.3.1 and work there. If you want to bring models made in other versions of Blender, append them in this file instead of the other way.
If the exported file has no 3d models and the blender path in s4s setting is correct, it means your system does not allow s4s to access game files or/and put the plugin in blender. It doesn’t because s4s or/and blender are installed on the c drive where everything has limited permission to do things to protect system files. To resolve this issue, you must right-click on sims 4 studio .exe file in the installation folder and give it various permissions.
My apps is the list of all programs in the Start menu, you can bypass this step and go straight to s4s folder

So, me installing Blender and s4s on my external Drive seems to fix the issue, but i wanted to know if there was a way to still install this on my C drive?

- download this zip and open it; - go to C:\Users\----\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.3.0\scripts\addons. If you do not see Appdata file, enable something like Show hidden; - drag the content of addons.zip into addons |

Just wanted to report back that the last suggestion worked for at least one person I was troubleshooting this issue with. And also mauvemorn thank you for your help, the explanations and suggestions you provided, as this issue was causing quite a bit of confusion :D |
