What happened to "Standard Assets.unityPackage"?

I’m reading a book called “Unity Game Development Essentials”. When the author shows how to create a new project, he checks “Standard Assets.unityPackage” in the project creation window.

What happened to this package? I only see “Standard Assets (Mobile).unityPackage”. The book seems to be written with an older version in mind, which is kinda frustrating because I just bought it from Amazon.

All versions of Unity prior to 3.x had a Standard Assets package / folder. With Unity 3.x that has been changed to a number of smaller packages. I use Pro so I’m not sure what comes with the free version.

I can choose from the following packages:

All of those are the standard assets.

Yeah, the change in 3.x has made things a bit confusing, but I would recommend you import all those packages to start. Then later once you know what you’re doing, you can pick and choose only the packages you need.

Even “Standard Assets (mobile)”? I’m building for Windows, so I don’t need this package, right?

Probably not. If you get an error later that an asset is missing you can import that package later.

Alright, thanks guys!

Hey!!! I Discover what Happen!!!
We need to use the Character Controllers instead of Standard Assets.
I am following the VTC trainning too.

i must be doing something wrong, when i installed unity5, i click on everything, including standard assets, but when i started the new project, the assets windows showed no files, so i had to manually install them, they were on the unity folder at program files, my question is: shouldn’t this standard assets be applied from the first install? what if i didn’t get the idea of checking for the assets in program files? I don’t have a problem, i just wanted to know if any1 know the reason.

please no smart axes people saying - well you google it!! what if the person don’t know how to google. ( yes, to find something specific in google, something you have to have some kind of knowledge of how to look for things)

I know this because, i have to deal with people who can’t find shit over the web, then i ask them for what they are looking for and i find it quick.
I found the reason why they can’t find shit on the web after asking of them how they did the search.

(A TOOL IS A REAL TOOL ONLY WHEN IT SELF-EXPLAINS) if it doesn’t then is only a tool for professionals and if UNITY IDEALS is to make more people Join the Challenge then this is an ERROR.
