Combining CC in package format. [UPDATED 28 JUNE '13]

First topic message reminder :

Hello,
If you have a lot of cc in package format, it can easily cause your game to load much slower, or cause in-game lag. You can, however, combine this type of package file into a few larger packages making it easier for your game to load.
Note that it is not recommended to do this with (core)mods since they are updated frequently, but your TSR or Modthesims custom content can easily be combined.
Find the tutorial here, and the program you need here.

And if you want to remove content from your merged package, watch this youtube tutorial.

DO NOT POST ANY QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS IN THIS TOPIC. INSTEAD, PLEASE OPEN A NEW TOPIC IN THE APPROPRIATE FORUM-SECTION, EITHER "THE SIMS 3 DOWNLOADS SUPPORT" OR "THE SIMS 3 IN-GAME SUPPORT"! THANK-YOU-NOTES CAN BE POSTED IN THE SECTION WITH THE SAME NAME.

Turning packages
to sims3pack is possible, but not nearly as easy as the other way
around, and not with all packages. i never looked into it though.

But
if you convert your sims3packs in your downloadsfolder to packages,
you'll never have to install them again. Simply moving the one package
file to the mods\packages folder will do. You no longer need the
"downloads" folder or the launcher if you convert all sims3packs to
packages.

I believe this folder: My Documents\Electronic Arts\The
Sims 3\DCBackup holds all of the packages that came from the sims3packs
you installed with the launcher. If you put those into sp3e, you can
also combine them into a single package, but you'd still have to
uninstall them with the launcher because you'll have duplicates if you
used the package you created.

If you don't want to install all of your sims3packs, you may want to sort them before converting them to packages.

Hi Lady Eldi Smile

So
if I put the files in the DCBackup or combine them as a single package
in the mods folder..I can erase the files in the download folder and the
files will still appear in the game? Everything including houses and
worlds?

im going to try this with store content. and do away with S3p files they are just way too bloated, especially when they are from third party creators other then EA.
