Packaging standalone exe

Hi all,
It’s the first time I use Unreal seriously (one or two attempts in the distant past)
I work in archviz and my only goal is to create a single level with a house which I then want to send to my clients so that they can walk through it.
My only problem is that by default, unreal packages the game in a folder with three other subfolders. this is a problem for me because many of the clients have minimal pc experience and I want to make it as simple as possible.

Is there any way to create a standalone .exe file?

P.S. I’ve seen similar questions to this in the forum and the answer usually is: “visit Packaging Unreal Engine Projects | Unreal Engine 5.2 Documentation” I’ve read it many times and haven’t found anything helpful. If it is in there, can somebody pls tell me where it is? (as a noob, I might be missing something obvious)

Unreal Engine does not support this, The only way UE4 can try and minimize the file number, is by compressing all your assets into a .pak file.

you can read up some more about .pak files here

This is possible using this guide. I tested it and it works well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEk2Ry5ERZQ&ab_channel=fixitfixitfixit
