World Template Not Showing Up

cavebutter · 03-26-2020, 01:04 PM

Just switched over to the official release from public beta. The templates that I created in the beta version are not showing up when I try to start a new game in the official release based on those templates. I had copied them over to a new location, then copied back after install. Restarted the app, and it does not find them.

Does the newest version have a new directory on mac? I know that the beta had a new location and assumed this was the location for all versions. Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks!

Think I found the answer here. Will try that...

Yeah - it worked. So now I have this whole directory full of ~3gb worth of stuff. Safe to delete?

The main thing that other directory would have that you may want to keep would be anything in the saved_games folder (if you had games in progress), or any other customization (like the templates you list above, or if you had custom facegens or parks or bbcards etc)
