Hi ya All,
Back with Part II of the "Package Compressing" tutorial. If you haven't prepared your package files yet, please check Part I for details.
Combining and compressing your (package-) files has as main benefit that you can have very much custom content in CAS & in game while the loading speed of the content remains within acceptable boundaries.
Please checkout the tutorial about compressing here: Compressing Files (Part II)
Good luck with the compressing & Happy Simming !! :D

Tutorial: Combining and compressing custom content files Part I (Prepare)
Hi ya All,
If you have or own a lot of custom content, you tend to lose track of all the content you have and your Sims 3 game also slows down considerably and it takes 'ages' in CAS before you see your clothes and accessories, which makes creating Sims like an 'ordeal'....
To keep this in check, I have come across a method to combine and compress your custom content and the result is that your folder(s) with custom content are cleaned up AND your Sims 3 game will load quicker AND custom content will show up faster in game, when for instance you are building or decorating a house AND browsing through clothes and accessories in CAS is like 'normal' again and how it should be :D
Now there are some tutorials about this combining and compressing, but I still see a lot of questions about this and also Simmers who don't get it to work. I hope to solve this, by writing this tutorial.
Mind you, it still is rather 'technical' and it will probably remain 'technical', but if you go and spend a couple of hours on it, the results will be rewarding !!
In order to not lose track, I have decided to split the tutorial in 2 parts. The first part is about how to prepare your files before combining / compressing. The 2nd part will be about the compressing itself.
The first part can be found here: Compressing packages files Part 1 (Prepare)
The second part will follow soon :D

Tutorial time !! :D
Hi ya All,
If you have had enough of the default pics in CAS / the Sim Bin, I know a way to change them ! I think it's kind of cool if your custom made Sims in CAS do show up with a picture you like.
And I managed to find out just that !! That's why I've made a detailed tutorial so you can do the same as well ;P
I have posted the tutorial here: How to change a default CAS pic tutorial
If you have any questions about it, please let me know.
Have fun & happy Simming !!
