Export Command Failing Aug 9, 2024 8:23:33 GMT -5

I've used the studio.exportall and studio.importall cheats since they were enabled. I haven't created for a few months, and went to use exportall and it said it was under Tools now. So I tried using that and it warned me it couldn't find my Blender installation (I don't edit meshes so I don't have it), asked if I wanted to configure it, I said no (because again, I don't use it, I just work with textures), it attempted to export, and failed with the following message:

The Sims 4 Studio - Version 3.2.2.5

I just want to be able to export (and import) textures quickly and easily. I used to be able to. It would just dump everything in a folder together and I'd get rid of what I didn't need. Can anyone help?

This command was moved to Tools - Studio - Export all. Try this and tell me if it works ( i cant test bc, in my case, it exports blend files even with an empty blender path)

Yeah, in my original post I said I found it had moved and tried that and it didn't work either.

I since gave in and installed Blender, which at least removes the error message.

I'm using this for walls and floors, by the way.

But export all and import all aren't working as intended.

Right after making a new package, if I export all it will create the usual Resources folder with the package name and dump the files in there. But if I try to export all again it dumps only the standard diffuse/spec/normal textures to the same folder the package is in, and doesn't export any of the actual swatch textures.

It also will only import from that main folder, and not from the Resources folder, but only for walls. For floors it won't batch import anything at all.

It seems like batch export and import are pretty broken (for me, at least) atm.

I tried it with the floor and everything seemingly works as intended

can you do this:
- create a new folder on your desktop named Test;
- clone any floor and save it in that folder;
- export everything;
- replace diffuse textures, making sure they are in png and the first digit is changed instead of the last in Swatch_1_DiffuseMap_1;
- try importing. If wont work, put the whole Test folder in zip and share with us;
- you could also try recreating this issue

But if I try to export all again it dumps only the standard diffuse/spec/normal textures to the same folder the package is in, and doesn't export any of the actual swatch textures.

Okay, this worked. I wonder if there's some issue with the folder I have set up for my creations. I'll shift it to this new folder on my desktop for now and see if it solves the issue. I'll try doing this for walls too, and see what happens.
