    Hi everyone,
    I am watching unity tutorials and sometimes there are assets exported that we can use. In the video the guy shows how he import it, but in my case I have an error/message that tells me that there is nothing to import.

    I am using the latest version of Unity 2017.1.0p5(Mac) and when I try to import package:
    Assets -> Import package -> Custom package

    and the result is:

    Nothing to Import.
    All assets from this package are already in your project.

    But that's not true! In the package there are a lot of things and I haven't import/add anything of it. So something is wrong. I guess the package is exported from version: Unity 5.6.1f1(Mac)

    I searched for this but can't find an answer to help me. if it's something because of the version why there is no way to convert it, or to import it?

    Thanks in advanced!

    Well, to be honest I didn't expect no answer in this community for four days.
    Anyway, here is the package, hope someone going to have a try for me at least or give me some hits what can I do in this situation.

    I tried yesterday Unity3D 5.3.3f1 mac with my game, didn't work. Tired with empty(new) project and again without success.

    Well, so what could be wrong with my Unity3D or unity files? Or some kind of caches? Is there a cache folder witch I can delete and try it again? I will try it later on my windows, and now will install 2017.2 for mac to have a try.

    Thank you btw for your time and sharing info.

    Having this problem on Mac right now.. using unity 5.5.3p4,
    trying to import unitypackages it says:
    Nothing to Import.
    All assets from this package are already in your project.


    works fine with 2017.x.

    Tried deleting library folder, creating new project, renaming unitypackage..

    package is submitted with 5.3, so it should work (and works fine on pc with the same unity version)
    https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/56044

    i guess need to try manually copying the imported folder from pc..

    *uh oh..this is going to be a long day... if i copy the files manually, the whole folder disappears,
    folderbug.gif

    **fine..using 5.6 then..seems to import there normally.

    I just had this issue today. My fix was to revert the Unity Editor Asset store to the Old Store and download these again before import. Guess it was a bad download cause now all those things that I usually install on a new project are installing just fine now.

    The file name of the package must be same as package. In my case "Fabric (1).unitypackage" file worked only when I renamed it to "Fabric.unitypackage"

    The reason for me was that the asset store defults to C: and filled up my C: drive i have unity on my other drive wich has more space, shame it defults to this..

    If your wondering where it stores all your downloads from the asset store its here: C:\Users\(YourName)\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store-5.x

    Just delete the Asset Store-5.x when you need space..

    Tried all the methods above, but none worked.
    Here's what worked for me:
    1. Locate your asset download folder
      • In windows it's located under "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store-5.x\"
      • On a mac it's located under "~/Library/Unity/Asset Store/"
    2. Find the folder of the asset that's giving you trouble, and delete it
    3. Go back to the asset store and re-download the asset
    4. Import

    You rarely need to access the files downloaded from the Asset Store directly. However, if you do need to, you can find them in the following paths: macOS: ~/Library/Unity/Asset Store. Windows: C:\Users\accountName\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store.

    Deleting the downloaded asset and redownloading fixed the import problem for me.

    I had a similar issue and resolved.

    Turned out my exported package contained protected assets from the asset store.

    Redownloading any protected assets from the asset store into the new project before importing my package solved it for me.

    Open totalcommander, write .zip after unitypackage, open it. There will be a file without extension, I called it X. Copy X to another directory, then rename it, add .unitypackage after the name. So it will be X.unitypackage. Now open it with unity.
    This method worked for me, I hope I helped you.

    I can't import any package file given by my colleagues (they appear empty like the other people on this thread), but I can import my own packages and my packages can be opened by my colleagues. ...What is going on?

    I also found I was unable to import a package which I had unzipped using the Finder - using MacOS (11.4).
    I got the "Nothing to Import! ... " message in Unity when using Import Custom package.

    I then tried using the unzip command in a shell and surprisingly the package was then able to be imported to Unity.
    I hope that helps someone!

    Unity is faster on my desktop compared to my laptop. But on my laptop, I can go to Assets > Import Package > Custom Package and it will work fine. On my desktop, it won't work; I have to actually drag the package file from the folder into the Unity Project tab/window to import the package. So, if your Unity editor is doing nothing on import, try the drag-the-file method.

    This works for me! I'm on Mac OS Big Sur. Unzipping the file through the Finder will not unpack a unitypackage file.

    Nothing worked for me until I used Unity 2017 to import the asset package (which had the same error, but still managed to import all the files that didn't have bad characters in them). I then made a custom package and imported that into Unity 2021.

    Guys, I have a problem when I import the Countryside gas station package .. After downloading the package, I start importing it, and in the middle of the import, unity comes out on its own, and I try to enter again, and the project download or loading menu appears to me, and in half of the loading it comes out again, what is the solution?

    I had this happen when importing assets with project settings included. If I imported it once already the project settings all match up, on future imports of the same package when reaching the import page blabbing about project settings it thinks everything's already imported and didn't let me proceed because it's only looking at project settings now.

    My workaround was to import the unitypackage into a temporary project and copy the S*** over manually.
