Why are Wall/Floors packaged seperately
cuddles:
I have a silly question that I have been dying to ask because I never understood the reasoning behind the method. So maybe if I understand the “why” it won’t bug me as much. That’s how my brain works, don’t ask. :happy8:
Ok so, when I download certain CC sets (ie. Houses, Living rooms etc) or individual files they will often be all compressed into a single .rar. But in that .rar file, if there are some walls/floors I will find them each packaged individually which forces me to click on each file to extract them separately, one at a time (I use the clean installer for this). Sometimes there can be up to 20 files too and it can take a long time when really if they were just included in the rar I could just move them all in one go.
I always wondered how come I see this so often. Is there another program aside clean installer that would allow me to extract all the .sims2pack files at once that I am not aware of?
Any tips here would be greatly appreciated. :angel:

some people do put walls/floors in packages

Hi cuddles. Have you tried doing one without separately processing the package files? Sometimes you only have to do that if the zip file contains both .rar and package files. If it is in the .rar file, it might install as a part of Clean Installer, Sims2Pack, or WinRar processing. Worth a try anyway.

Oh, I forgot to mention, packaging is a feature that comes with Sims2 and it is a part of the process of uploading a lot, orginally designed to upload to the Maxis Exchange, it is also the format used to upload to other web sites, such as this one and MTS2.

Hrm, ok well I know I usually just use the "extract here" feature of RAR and then sort/move through the files myself (I don't really like programs that "install" files for me just because i'm really anal about where they all go) and that is usually when I will find all the walls packaged seperately.
Thanks for you help anyways everyone, I guess I will just have to accept things the way they are. :rabbit:
