For the last week or so, Nomad Sculpt constantly freezes on my iPad. I have plenty of storage space, and it does it on both large and small files. I have restarted my iPad. I have waited up to 15 min and it never unfreezes. It also frequently changes the main folder back to the default without warning. I switched the main folder to iCloud months ago, and it has worked just fine until this last week. Could it be linked to iOS 18.2? I have no idea. HELP!!

I haven’t updated Nomad in 5 months.  
Maybe try to use the default Nomad folder for a while. If Nomad defaults to the regular folder it means it failed at creating a folder/file in iCloud.

Maybe check your iCloud quota storage, not just local.

18.2 is not the latest version, 26.0.1 should be the latest.

iCloud has plenty of room. What do you mean use a “regular Nomad Sculpt”?

Also, I am updating to iOS 26 now.

Sorry I mean use the “regular Nomad folder” (not the iCloud one).

I am really trying to avoid storing everything on my iPad. It takes up soooo much storage.

I upgraded to iOS 26, but it is still not working. The project opens, but then when I try to click any brush or add a primitive, it freezes.

But iCloud also stores copies everything as well.  
It’s mostly a way to sync data, not to save local storage.
