I looked up how to do it and i thought that you had to put the files in this location:  
C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth\saved\_objects\stonehearth\building\_templates  
Upon loading the game the tab for custom templates it was empty. Even my own creations i have made do not appear there but do appear in the folder.

If anyone could help me itd be greatly appreatiated. 🙂

If you remove the premade build that you added, your older builds works again? If yes, then this new added build has some bug in it.

In that folder, are the custom templates listed as a `.json` file and a `.png` file? Or is each custom template in it’s folder? (They shouldn’t have their own folders)

If you could send a screenshot of the building\_template folder contents or the building template file itself I can look into it further

Can you try deleting the `apartment` template? That one is 0 bytes so it must’ve had an issue saving. Also, can you send your `stonehearth.log` file from a game where you tried to load up the templates and they didn’t load?
