I’ve run into this issue before Update 12, and the weird workaround I found was that the “too many” doesn’t apply to total saves in FH5 - it’s somehow connected to the number of eligible designs you can import into FM from FH5 (which is way lower). When I hit this wall, I deleted 20-30 random liveries (almost all for non-FM cars) from FH5 and experienced no change [note - all of these were around when the import was still working for me, while almost every new livery I was adding was intended for FM]. However, when I specifically deleted 2-3 of the designs FM showed me as importable, I could suddenly import again.

You deleted 2/3 designs on FH5 for cars that are also on FM?
I just deleted 5/6 designs on FH5 for cars that are also on FM and I’m still having the same issue.
Maybe the vinyls are the problem.
I appreciate the response, thank you.
No. I looked at the cars FM showed me were importable, and then deleted a few of those in FH5. That’s what seemed to create space for more imports.

I made a list of seven importable FH5 designs that FM showed me on the FH5 tab which I was willing to delete.
Went on FH5, deleted those designs, returned to FM but, alas, still got that message.
Maybe more deletions would do it? But I value the rest of my FH5 designs and I’m just not that hot on deleting more for an uncertain outcome.
It would be nice to get a note from the developers on what exactly the mechanics of this is.

When was this glitch introduced? Wasn’t it Update 11?
Before update 11. I think I last successfully import some designs in August. Altho’ it may have been July. I thought update 11 might address this…

How can you mark this as solved when it’s still happening? I can’t import either full designs or vinyl groups from Horizon 5. Just keep getting a message saying I’ve got too many of this file type. I’ve literally got less than 30 of each.

I’m having this issue too. Also it’s not only Horizon 5 but also Horizon 4 that I can not import liveries from as I have over 450 in each.
Surely this can’t be how it’s meant to be. Having to delete designs from previous games in order to be able to import them is ridiculous. I only have 34 in Motorsport.

There was a long-running thread about importing Vinyls from FH5 on Xbox, but it was closed and marked as ‘solved’ after the last update. The wording on the update notes suggest the ‘Too many saves’ warning is the end of the issue. If so, they’ve finally killed another once flourishing aspect of Forza. I’m not deleting hundreds of liveries and vinyls from a different game.
My workaround to the vinyl problem was to either make the whole livery in FH5 or stickerbomb a car and import that as a livery, but now neither option is available to me I’m giving up.

I thought it was something like that
Annoying
When attempting to transfer a livery from FH5 into FM today, i was told i have ‘too many saves of this file type’ and a counter that said 530/450.
It meant that i had to spend a considerable amount of time in FH5 removing saved liveries to get the number down to a suitable level before the livery could be transferred.
With the FH5 saved limit being vastly higher than the FM saved limit, then this is a problem that painters will have to deal with if we make too many in FH5, specially as the numbers count saved liveries rather than just shared liveries, so anything unshared will count to prevent transferring.
Those of us who paint often will have a lot of unshared content we’ve either abandoned or are still working on, or we have cars with numerous liveries saved. All of this makes transferring to FM difficult or impossible for some.

Does this issue still persist after update 13?
Can you clarify how you are trying to import liveries such as transferring liveries made on Fh5 on Xbox console to Motorsport on Steam
Does this only happen for liveries or also vinyl groups or tunes?
How many liveries are you trying to import from FH5?
