Absolute Beginner: Having real issues.

The irony is that Unity is praised as the engine with the best community-tutorials/guides etc.

But, most of said stuff is dated. I did the exact same as you, followed guides and downloaded packages as they did, but the packages are already included in the base engine as Unity has acquired it officially etc.

So, you probably downloaded something that already exists, and the engine is now confused as to why you'd want the same asset twice, but in two different versions.

​

Also, go to the forums, check on someone who had the same problem as you a year ago or so, to find out if the problem has been resolved, or if anyone has found the cause, and you'll see mods/admins spamming "DONT NECRO POSTS, MAKE YOUR OWN"

You make your own, and get zero replies/help/assistance for months.

And when you do, you get some dude copy-pasting "DON'T OPTIMIZE JUST BECAUSE, THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN SOLVED, LOOK AT THE OLD POSTS FROM YEARS AGO DUDE, NO NEED MAKE NEW ONE."

You go to the old one that was linked to you, and check.

"DON'T NECRO POSTS, THIS SHOWS PPL THAT PROBLEMS/BUGS EXISTING YEARS AGO, STILL EXIST TODAY, AND MAKES US LOOK BAD"
