Unlike the original maxis item, this package has no shadow meshes. I assume you deleted them from warehouse and that should never be done, it disrupts the structure of the file. You need to restart the package
The lid must be assigned to _bind_toyBoxLid, the rest to transformBone
you can delete uv_1 and rename the other one to uv_0 (not UV_0)
the uvs are on the border of the uv space, so there will be problems with how textures are displayed

But how can I assign just the lid , its like one s4 mesh not two parts ? |

But how can I assign just the lid , its like one s4 mesh not two parts ? You would need to open the mesh in Blender, select the lid portion of the toybox and separate it using P, assign the lid to _bind_toyBoxLid and the rest of the toybox to transformBone. Then join the two parts using ctrl + J. There are three easy ways to quickly select what you need. 1. You can select portions of the bottom of the toybox (the parts that would be assigned to transformBone), press ctrl + L to select whatever is attached to your initial selection and press H to hide your selection. Keep doing this until you are left with just the lid, press A to select the lid, then P to separate it. Alt + H will unhide everything. 2. In the UV editor, enable UV sync (the button is located next to the vertex, edge, and face selection buttons in the UV editor), enter face selection mode, hover your mouse over the UV islands you want to select and press L, then separate the mesh with P. 3. Do the opposite of #1. Just select portions of the lid and press ctrl + L to quickly select everything that is attached to your initial selection. Keep doing this until you've selected what you want then separate with P. As an aside. The toybox is too high poly. It's got almost 10,000 polygons. You can use decimate but it wrecks the topology. Instead, select the entire mesh, press alt + J to turn the tris into quads. This means you'll have fewer edges to deal with. If you're using a version of Blender above 2.8 there will be a little window in the lower left corner. Expand that and check the UV button. This will ensure that your UV layout doesn't get messed up. If you're using a lower version of Blender that option can be found in the side panel. Press T to open that panel before turning the tris to quads; the box you need to check will be called compare UVs. Then make sure you're in edge select mode, hold ctrl + alt and select some edge loops then press X > dissolve edges. Don't dissolve any of the edges of your UV islands or the UV layout will be borked. You can select the edges in the 3D or the UV editor. Your choice. Dissolve edges throughout the entire mesh. You can get rid of a lot of edges and still maintain the shape of the mesh. You will need to DRASTICALLY reduce the polycount. At least 50%. Edited to add: I just took another look at your mesh. You've got some faces that no one will ever see. Like in the stack of towels or blankets or whatever. You can delete anything that won't be seen. Those faces serve no useful purpose so why keep them? |

I had the same thing happen to me where a mesh I made was super high poly and it was a struggle to learn how to fix it. |

Screenshot or the file itself ? 
, Didnt know that with UV cause i always wrote it like that & never had an issue 
. But how can I assign just the lid , its like one s4 mesh not two parts ?
