Default Blender struggles to import GMDC files... what am I doing wrong?
Hi everyone! I'm teaching myself how to mesh for this game using Blender but with my luck I can't get past the very first step! I'm very new to this and the terminology so please be patient with me! lol

So I've been trying to extract a CAS mesh (afbottomkasa). I cloned it using Body Shop, extracted the mesh with SimPE, and then used DjAlex88's GDMC Importer/Exporter to open it up in Blender. The moment I hit import, I get an error message. Attached is the Blender console log.

If there's any other information I need to provide please lmk! Also I would've posted this to the GDMC Importer/Exporter page but the creator seems to be inactive.

I'd recommend using the version of Blender that the plugin was written for (anything in the 2.80 series).
It's normal to have a few different versions on hand.

Plugins are rarely fully functional between major versions without significant rewriting, the + in 2.80+ is likely not so ambitious as to cover 4.2
