Default Sp4e
I am not sure what helper I am missing for SP4E. I downloaded the helpers from the SP4E site, went through the instructions in instillation and I am unsure what I am doing wrong.

Are you on WinXP by any chance? I had the same problem (I'm told it's a .Net issue), solved it by using the 0.2c executable with the 0.2d wrappers. Haven't had any issues so far.

Plasticbox could you please send me the links so I can try the 0.2c. No, I use windows 8 but at this point I am willing to try anything. I am crying from frustration after reading every forum ; ;

Every time I try to export this is what happens.

I get the same result as the OP in the new 0.3.a version of s4pe, the Save DDS is missing on _IMG resources, so it isn't possible to do anything with _IMG. I can see the program is working as the RLES or RLE2 (whichever) has been altered to fix that issue, whatever it was, with one of those two.

Seems your right, sorry about that. I have left Kuree a message, informing him of the problem, and a link to this thread so he can see what's going on himself.

Just for reference, the "other persons" screen shared above is mine. I'm not sure what the version title is but all the files inside of it were last modified back in September and I have the RLEExport.helper and RLEImport.helper files as well as some others.

@melbrewer367 I have those files but I still cannot get the same options that you have.

Which version are you using, and have you tried with an older one?

Ok, Kuree just fixed .3a of s4pe (same version number), just redownload, Export/Import via Helper should work now (on XP as well). - https://github.com/Kuree/Sims4Tools/releases

EDIT: Let us know if it's working for you now.

Yes because it's now "Export/Import via Helper" .

Seems to be working for me now, I only quickly tested with _IMG though.

Rosemoondust, I was having the same problem as you. The latest update didn't work for me (no save as dds option and clicking on Export/Import didn't actually do anything), however downloading the 2c version and using it did work. https://github.com/Kuree/Sims4Tools...c/s4pe.0.2.c.7z

Export/Import Via Helper works fine for me now with the new 0.3.a.

@SaudadeSims, by "the latest update" you mean the one with the hotfix is still not working?

Yes, for me, the one with the hotfix isn't working. The "save as dds" isn't there and the import/export with helpers doesn't do anything. I extracted it (the version with the hotfix) with 7zip, as I know unraring it causes issues. As you suggested upthread, I downloaded the earlier 2c version and it allows me to "save as dds." Not sure what my issue is, I'm on a new computer I had built just to run Sims3/Sims4 and I'm running Windows 7.

You need to redownload it, the version # did not change, he just fixed v3a. Make sure you have downloaded it after 11pm last night (est). And it will say Export/Import via Helper, instead of Save DDS.

I disabled the default dds menu as it might cause issues for shuffled dds. Though the game can recognize unshuffled one, making it shuffled will increase the compression ratio and also be consistent with EA's format.

I do stuff for fun.

Can you explain what "shuffled dds" is? I don't think anyone on Earth has heard of it before; the term doesn't exist in Sims3 modding, at least I've never heard of it.

I notice that there is a check mark to the left for selecting it, but it is off by default. Do we want to turn this on when saving an image?
