How to recover assets made with Larger Footprint mod?

[bap 4]

Hi there,

I have some old assets made with Larger Footprint (LF) mod. After release of the Industry DLC this mod no longer works (error message on loading) and these assets are no longer recognized by the program ('fail to load' message on Loading Screen Mod). Sub-Buildings Enabler (SBE) is also deprecated, so it also does not work if I try to replace LF by SBE. So, is there a way to recover these assets? Thanks in advance for any help.

You can probably get the mesh and texture out using one of these:

Pretty sure Sub-Buildings Enabler Mod still works, but it just isn't needed anymore. Subbuildings was built into the editor now, so you simply just split the building into several bits, import them seperately and decorate each part, save, restart the game, pick one to be the main building and add the other to it through the little grey/white circular button at the bottom right inside the editor. Then you just place it next to the building - you can rotate and adjust position precisely on the right once it's placed.

@Ronyx69 and @Avanya, thanks a lot for the fast response and for your help. I realized that the LargerFootprint (LF) mod was updated March 19 and I did not have its last version as I keep most mods & assets in my local directory (not as workshop subscriptions). I downloaded the updated version of the mod and now all 4 assets work again. I still cannot understand why after the March 19 LF update but before the Industry DLC patch no error message appeared when I started the game. 

As a small side note, aside of this small nuisance, for me this has been the smoothest and fastest recovery from a game patch. It seems CS team and modders have developed a very good interaction with each other.
