Hi everyone!

Just a quick note to you all about support. There seems to be some people who are taking .sims3packs and converting back to .packages - I, personally, do not really care what format you want to install your CC in. I understand that some people prefer .package for the ease of drag-and-drop installation and such, but please note that .package is NOT a generally supported format for TS3. Converting .sims3pack to .package may break/corrupt the file! If you convert files, or you've downloaded them from somewhere else as .package, please don't tell me they are broken or ask me to fix them - because I can't. If you download and install them as .sims3pack, then the content should install into your game and work just fine.

Sims3pack files integrate themselves into the game, versus .package files which are basically plug-n-play. Using .sims3pack provides a smooth transition when updating, installing patches, SP/EPs, etc, and is your safest bet to ensure that the content continues to work after the game updates are done, versus .package files which should be removed when updating the game and then put back afterwords - with no guarantee that they will continue to work. Obviously, it's up to you which method you choose, but please keep in mind I will not help with broken CC for TS3 that was converted to .package - we were given the .sims3pack format for a reason!
