I was trying to extract a few images from The Sims 4 game and followed these steps: https://www.patreon.com/posts/setup-for-ui-54708148 Everything went well, except all the images and animations show up as red squares. I have tried converting the original ".ScaleFormGFX" file both to ".gfx" and ".swf" and I get the same result. I have checked and updated all drivers and graphics. Could ReNamer be affecting the images by changing the extension? I'm using JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler v.22.0.0. My operating system is Windows 11. I have attached both the file with the ".swf" extension and a screenshot of what I see. Does anyone have any advice?

GFX files usually have all the images stored in external files, it's also case of this file. DefineSubImage (chid:1) uses data of DefineExternalImage2 (iid: 0) and that points to external file "calendar_I1.dds". You need to have file called "calendar_I1.dds" in the same directory as the GFX file. FFDec displays missing images as red.

I'm trying to find those image files but it's proving hard to do. Thank you for your help though! Now I need to go have a chat with the Sims4Studio folks to see if they can help me.
