FAQ: Tip on making custom content

<< < (2/2)

BeosBoxBoy:
Q: Can I take the weird number off the end of my finished Home Crafter Plus project?

A: Yes, but it will make life more difficult for the guy on the other end trying to locate a bad file.  Whereas my wooden floor.package looks better than floor_2ef02998.package, when you are looking for a bad file by using boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true, the absence of 2ef02998 in the file name makes it difficult to find.

It is always best to retain the junk code at the end of the name, although nowadays most people ignore this wisdom.

BeosBoxBoy:
Q: Where is the finished project I just made in Body Shop?

A: The file you just completed is stored in the SavedSims folder this is usually located:

Windows 2000, XP, & Vista:
   C:\Documents and Settings\*Your Windows Log-in Name*\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\SavedSims

Windows 98 & ME:
   C:\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\SavedSims

MacOS X
   /Home/EA Games/The Sims 2/SavedSims

But what about the files in the Projects folder?

Those files are useless to anything but to Body Shop, they are a sort of scratch pad for Body Shop to keep notes in.  They will NEVER work in game.

BeosBoxBoy:
Q: Where is the finished project I just made in Home Crafer Plus?

A: Unlike Body Shop, when Home Crafer Plus is finished with projects, it deletes the temporary files and saves the finished project in the Downloads folder. Usually if you sort the Downloads folder by clicking the Date Modified bar in Details view, it will place the newest items at the top and you can grab them there, or while still in Home Crafter Plus save the files to the desktop as Sims2Packs.
