Hi sagaya abdu,

A few things to check:

  1. When you import the custom asset package, be sure to do it by going to Assets > Import Package > Custom Package... just like it's demonstrated in the video. I'm sure you probably did it this way, but I mention it because Unity's internal asset database can sometimes act strangely when things are imported in an unusual fashion.
  2. Try restarting Unity. Sometimes if you're having issues, this can resolve a lot of problems.
  3. If your Unity project folder is inside of a Dropbox folder, make sure Dropbox is NOT syncing while you're running Unity. This can cause issues with importing assets and building games.
  4. If all that fails, try starting a new Unity project and reimporting the asset package again.

If you're still having issues, feel free to follow up with me here. We'll figure it out!

Simply double clicking the package worked for me without importing it inside of Unity. Just go into the folder you put the downloaded package in and double click it just like you would open any file, with Unity open.

I followed the directions and it's still not working for me. I went back 3 times and got no where. Help. I might have missed something, but I don't know for sure.
