"Extract Tuning..." not working? Mar 29, 2017 22:27:24 GMT -5

hello!!! im very new to the sims 4 studio. i wanted to start learning how to make mods, so i began to follow a tutorial made Scarlet on SimsVIP.

on scarlets post, there is a step that says: "In the upper-left click on Tools>Extract Tuning…", then a step that says "When the Extract Tuning window pops up, tick the Use Subfolders and Extract All as shown below, then click Export:".

however, when i click tools>extract tuning... (almost) nothing happens. for a second, it shows the "loading" icon for the sims 4 studio, but quickly disappears, then nothing happens.

help is greatly appreciated!!!

also, i own a windows vista, if that matters any

the only cause of errors i can see are variants of "The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\[UserName]\Documents\Sims 4 Studio\S4Studio_v3.1.sqlite' because it is being used by another process."

im not sure if im supposed to see anything specifically about the Extract Tuning... option in the log files, but i havent seen anything

(sorry for this trouble)

I had this issue, and Flertzia's advice worked for me.

When I try to use the extract tuning option, S4S crashes instead of bringing up the list. I am using Wishes 3.1.2.0

This used to happen me all the time (even with preview S4S) if I tried to extract them while I was on a project. What I did to fix that, and so far I didn't get the problem again, when S4S is updated the exact moment I open the program I use the extract tuning option and wait till it brings up the list, then I close that list and start with my project (following this tutorial, the extraction should be between the first two steps and again at step 7, atleast the first time). There's no need to do that process again till S4S is updated. I hope this helps you too.

Hello, another way is to go to the warehouse and extract the tuning before you should have copied the name of the object
At least that's how it worked for me ...

although you should always do that but it is a less complicated option for me

I repeat ... it works for me, but maybe another person does not

apparently when you do that, the option to export tuning in studio also works well .. I do not know

Hi! I as a beginner modder also faced this problem and found a solution that worked for me. I'm not sure if user radussh13 still needs this answer, but I would be glad if someone else with the same problem finds this solution suitable for them.

Most likely the error is in the path, you should check the path to The Sims 4 game. It should be something like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4 (ending with The Sims 4 folder).
If the path is correct, you can also exit Sims 4 Studio and try deleting the Sims 4 Studio folder from the Documents on your computer (when you go back to Sims 4 Studio, the folder will be recreated).

This method helped to solve my problem. I've also seen instantly disappearing loading when clicking on extract tuning. I checked my game path which was wrong and changed it to something like this C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4. After that I got a warning (I can't quote it in full) but it said that S4Studio_v3.6.sqlite is being used by another process. I just saved the new settings and exited Sims 4 Studio. Next I went to Documents and deleted the Sims 4 Studio folder. Then I reopened Sims 4 Studio and everything worked as it should and I can extract tuning files directly in Sims 4 Studio.

I really hope that my comment can help someone with the same problem. If I am wrong somewhere I will be grateful for corrections.
