Default Help with referencing DLLs with with Microsoft Visual C3
I can't reference DLLs and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've tried using both the 2008 and 2010 versions, but neither works. I've googled as well, but I still have no idea how to fix this. The only advice I could find was talking about the 2005 edition and I didn't understand it at all.

The error I get when I try to add DLLs as references is ".dll" could not be added.Please make sure that the file is accessible and that it is a valid assembly or COM component."

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What are the steps you take before you receive the error?

I'm using Sims 3:Creating a game compatible Visual Studio project as tutorial. After I finish step three, I move on to step four and it's when I try to add the references that the error pops up.

Will it let you add any references at all, like if you try to add them one by one?

No, not at all. I tried each one separately. It figures my luck runs this way.

Maybe you you didn't export them out of S3PE correctly?

That's a possibility. I'll try it again.

ETA: Okay, now S3PE won't even open the files correctly.

Did you export from Grid (correct) or did you right-click on the resource and select Export (incorrect)?
