Hey everyone, hope you're well.
I recently just heard about the ability to merge packages to speed your game up. The only problem seems to be that I have nearly 14gb of CC. When I import all of the packages to be merged in S4PE, I get an error code that aborts. In Sims 4 Studio, I get so far and then the program crashes. I have tried splitting my CC up into batches, but I still have issues.
Does anyone know what the problem is or perhaps even if there is another way of merging packages?
Thanks and have a great weekend! :smile:

Also, is this a recent version? The current release is here: https://github.com/s4ptacle/Sims4Tools/releases
First thing I'd try is merging them in smaller batches, depending on what machine you have .. if you don't have a lot of RAM I guess 14GB might be a bit much at once.
The code I get is:
Could not import all resources - aborting.

If you use 0.4.3-release it would be interesting to know what compression this is, seeing as it's complaining about one particular resource (0xAC16FBEC-0x80000000-0xD2BA9B574EAEE7F7). Can you find out what package that is in? It must be some CAS part (0xAC16FBEC is a RegionMap).
Actually, can you post about it here please: http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=572510 ? Or on github if you prefer, https://github.com/s4ptacle/Sims4Tools/issues . Not everyone working on s4pe has an account here.
For this kind of error it would be useful to add the name of the package, maybe we can do that (because then the user can just remove that one package). But it would be good to have a few examples of resources where this is happening, so if you could post a few of the errors you get, that would be helpful (plus maybe an accurate description of how exactly you are importing these packages -- drag + drop? Import > From Package? Something else?)
Thanks!
