Apologies, I can’t understand where to put the file. I just copied and pasted the file into my project folder and content folder, but nothing changed when I opened Unreal. The file just appeared in the Content Browser.

Ah, I see the issue now. You downloaded the Convai plugin from FAB, but you can’t drag it in that way. Instead, please do the following:

1. Download the **5.6 zip** from here:  
[https://github.com/Conv-AI/Convai-UnrealEngine-SDK/releases/tag/3.6.7](https://github.com/Conv-AI/Convai-UnrealEngine-SDK/releases/tag/3.6.7)
2. In your project, create a **Plugins** folder if it doesn’t already exist.
3. Drag the **Convai** folder from the extracted 5.6 zip into your project’s **Plugins** folder.
4. Inside the Convai files, locate the **Metahumans** folder.
5. Drag and drop this folder into: **Plugins/Convai/Content**.
6. If prompted to replace existing files, click **Yes**.
7. Reopen your project and test if the issue is resolved.
