Hi!
I have a problem with an import blender files into S4S. I didn't have this problem, but at this evening it magically appear :shrug

What I have:
S4S Star 3.2.1.2
Blender 3.6.5 (English language)
What problem I have when I try to import a new mesh:

The Sims 4 Studio - Version 3.2.1.2

System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (Could not find file 'C:\ProgramData\S4Studio\Scripts\6018cc67-b1af-4f50-a9d7-64ca34240cf8\s4s.out.mlod'.)

I tried to re-install S4S, re-install plugins (from this post), delete the Sims4Studio folder from Documents, repair Sims 4 game, search this problem at this forum
I checked all of my cuts, vertexes, UV shells, there are the same as original file
Also I tried create a new "3D mesh" in S4S, export this mesh, do something (like move a few vertexes) and import into a S4S, there is also this error!
It doesn't work at any meshes I have and any new meshes :c
Maybe you have this s4s.out.mlod file? Maybe I just need to put it into my folder?
Here is my blend and package files: Here
(In this case I can't import LODS into a [1] and a diagonal window into a [2] )
I saw that someone solve this problem just moved to another blender version like 2.7 or something else, but I don't want to change my blender version

Strange situation because as you can see, I already have a LOD0 at [1]! But at this moment something happened with S4S :confused

Hi. I can’t check the file at the moment to tell you the exact reason, but something is done incorrectly in the blend file (s4s is trying to tell you what it is but cannot access the file)

Anyway, do the following:
- export the blend from the package, open;
- check how many meshgroups there is and what cut numbers they have. Your blend must have the same number of them and their cuts must correspond ( shadow replaces shadow, object replaces object, glass replaces glass, etc)
- then make sure that in every meshgroup the first uv map is named uv_0 (exactly like this). The second map does not matter and can be deleted;
- make sure each meshgroup is affected by the same bones as the one it is going to replace. For example, an object is assigned to transformbone, shadow is assigned to nothing;
- make sure your object is not high poly
- make sure it was not transformed in object mode

Yes, I tried this steps. It doesn't work with my mesh and any new meshes
Meshgroups are the same, cut numbers are too
uv also have name like uv_0, I don't have the second uv map
Yes, I have the same bones
My object is not a high poly
And it was not transformed in object mode

I also noticed that when I export the mesh, open it in Blender, do nothing, save it, try to import into a S4S, there is also this error :C
But if I export the mesh, and just import it into S4S there is no error
And one thing that I noticed too is when I opened exported blender files in previous sessions, I had visible textures in blender, but now when I export blend files and open them, I don't have any texture

Also I tried to change blender version to 3.3, but nothing changes
I think there are some problems when I open my blender

Seems like you are exporting files for the old(er) version of blender but saving them in a new one that has no plugin

- open s4s settings, change blender path to blender.exe in the installation folder of blender 3.6.5;
- export the blend again (important), open it in blender 3.6.5;
- now there should be a texture on the avatar. If no, tell me;
- delete meshgroups, append your objects (instead of opening), assign cuts, save;
- import back

Omg, you're a lifesaver!
It works!
Thank you SO much!!!

Some moment I noticed for someone, who will read this text in the future:
In my S4S settings I had a path to Blender Foundation folder (Why? Idk), and when I changed the path to the steam folder (go to your steam library -> Find blender -> Right click -> Manage -> Browse local files, you can see blender.exe you need) I have no error anymore
