hi! sorry to be a bother, but this is going to be pretty long-winded. sorry again if this is the wrong place to post
after sorting my files for personal use, i got an error when opening a .package file with s4studio and could not get in. i don't have this first error, but i assumed it was due to changing file paths. i uninstalled and reinstalled star v3.2.2.2 thinking that i could fix this in the settings after redownloading.
then i got this error:
to work around this, i ran s4studio as administrator and things seemed to work as normal. however, when i opened a .package file in my ts4 mods folder, this happened:
not the best screenshot 😓
^ basically, a new s4studio folder generated directly in a subfolder that's in my game's mods. this seems to happen with every .package i open-- s4studio won't run unless another duplicate of this folder is in the same location as whatever is being opened. this is also true for the Sims 4 Studio folder in Program Files.
if i don't run as administrator, i get the error above. if i do, another folder with cache, custom tags, tuning, etc. is generated at C:\Program Files (x86)\Sims 4 Studio.
before i first uninstalled, this folder was in Documents (if this isn't normal, whoops! i assumed it was since everything worked fine until now)
my settings currently look like this:
*i don't have blender, so that path is blank
changing Sims 4 Documents to "C:\Users\[my name]\Documents" doesn't seem to save when i reopen studio, even though i click save. i don't know if this is intentional or not
the settings as well as my name also don't carry over if i try to open a .package file in a different location-- e.x. my name and the settings above are there if i run it directly from Program Files, but there is no name and the settings revert if i open a .package file in my game's mods. this is also when another folder is generated
as a queer player, i use s4studio a lot to change gender flags on cc and it would be a bummer if this one weird thing made the process super weird as well! though i might just settle for having endless s4studio folders, haha
