Tool to see what custom content is in file form?
« on: February 19, 2014, 06:37:30 PM »
Hey all!

I have finally re-gotten over my fear of custom content (I go through phases), and built some .package files with groups of content for easy loading. I still have all of the original zips - and I'm glad I do because of the following situation:

I have some god-awful ugly jeans in my female clothes package. I know I will never use them. They looked better on the downloading site, and terrible in the game. I want to rebuild my master package files, but how do I know which individual zip files to delete? How can I tell which individual .package file is the one that belongs to these ugly pants?

Thanks!

Kuree has a package file viewer tool that can help you: Package Viewer. You could also use S3PE for this, but the Package Viewer is really all you need.

While I'm at it, I recommend you look into using CC Magic for organizing your CC. It will help a lot with stuff like this.

Thanks for the recommendation! I use sp3e and a few other programs to unpack sims pack files and repackage as .package (and clear out duds before they hit the game). I have ccmagic but was unable to find a good tutorial on it that wasn't in German. :( but now that I've found this lovely forum, I just may attempt it again after I do some searching through here.

Here are some tutorials about CC Magic:

Tutorial: Getting Started with CC Magic (by me)
CCM Walk Through by Nellas at Naughty Sims Asylum. You have to register to see the thread, and I recommend registering. It's a good site.
How to Use CC Magic by liegt

Hope they help :)

Thanks! I've been reading through them all night - still no luck in actually seeing the item in question. And by seeing it I mean the image of it, not the name. Not sure of the name - just know that I don't want any more camel toe jeans in my game! :)
