If you encounter issues with Sims 4 Studio not being able to locate the Sims 4.exe file or the documents folder, don't fret. Simply navigate to the settings within Sims 4 Studio and set the correct location for both files. After making these changes, be sure to restart the program to ensure that the modifications take effect.

For those experiencing an empty list of CAS objects when attempting to make a CAS override, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take.

Sometimes, it may take a moment for the objects to load, so be patient and give it a little time.
