Niagara Simulation Stages Example Levels not working

Does anyone have successfully obtained the simulation stages plugin from the UE4 master branch? When I clone it and activate the Plugin the .umap don’t show up in my Project explorer, but they are present when I look into the folder using windows explorer. I guess it is a version conflict. I tried using the 4.27 master build and the current 4.26 release

I want to follow along Asher Zhus Niagara video. Here he talks about how to obtain the plugin: The Art of Illusion - Niagara Simulation Framework Overview - YouTube

From 4.26 you don’t need the plugin. Just enable Simulation Stages in Emitter Properties on an emitter in Niagara. You’ll also need Sim Target to be GPUCompute and Fixed Bounds turned on. That’s all I had to do after I installed 4.26 anyway, so I hope this works for you too.

Good luck following Asher’s work. I’ve had a right old time of it.
