Those are not TS3 tools. They are therefore irrelevant.

Pack Picker? Three PE?

I have already decreed that it is called JFadetool. End of story.

Who are you to say so?! You're not my real dad! *flounce*

Then it must be labeled JfadeToolTS3 for disambiguation.

What happens when/if jfade makes another TS3 tool?

Ultimately, what's probably going to happen is that Pescado will refer to it in his own language, and everyone else will call it "JFade's Sims3Pack editing program". Tongue

The problem with JfadeTool is that if/when jfade will make another tool it would be confusing, and jfadetool1/jfadetool2 are lame.

I still like The Phadely Phinagler, just because I have no idea of what it means  Grin, but it sounds great.

Dang, ninja'ed.

I'm on my way out for the day, but Jud Hudson reminded me that it could also be an acronym if it sounds kinda cool. My unfinished Sims 2 program was called STAPES: Sims Two All-Purpose Package Editing System. A mouthful otherwise but the acronym sounded cool. Tongue

Wouldn't 3PE be better for the sims 3 version of SimPE though?

No one has yet expressed an interest in continuing development of SimPE itself.  But there could be an all-in tool *like* SimPE.  Not from the Jones household though.

The architecture of TS3 and what has already occurred makes a SimPE for TS3 unlikely. Many of the dataformats in TS3 are edited using third-party general tools, and as such, it is supremely unlikely, not to mention reinventing the wheel, to create an editor that can match the quality of existing general-purpose tools. There might be a few specific editors for handling specific aspects of creation, but for the most part a tool like SimPE is unnecessary.

There will need to be a tool specialised for editing game state data though.  In that respect having something like SimEnhancer (but free) is the safest way, rather than SimPE which was neither one thing nor the other and allowed you to edit the data in an unsynchronised way.   We never attempted to fix that cos we didn't want to cripple simpe's flexibility for serious experimenters.

Well, I'm usually useless at names, and these will probably only prove that, but here goes!
The Junpacker
PhadesFree (or Phades3)
Unfader (or The Unfader)
TSFree
Oh My Josh Installer (or The Oh My Josh Installer...which would probably be shortened to just the OMJ when talking about it...maybe)
JF-aid
FirstFade
Just Joshing
C-it-all
The Fadestaller
The Faditor, but that probably also sounds as if it would be a SimPE type tool, rather than a package installer.

As for the suggestions so far, I prefer Phadely Phinagler or 3View. And even in its so far quite basic state, it looks amazing!

Yes, except that it is the Jfadetool.

I was, myself going to suggest the "SimFadeEditor" or "Jfadeditor" as possible names, but they are not significantly different from "Jfadetool".

The best I came up with is C3 for custom content c... (insert word of your choice here), i.e. check(er), cut(ter), customizer, etc.
I also liked the JAMS and would suggest adding "3" to the end.
I do, however, bow to the wisdom of heaping great praise on the inventor with JfadeTool.

Rather than just "Pack Peeper" you should just go all the way and call it the "Package Peeper 3000".

I also like EP3/SimP3/variations on that theme. Even if it's not really SimPE. I like the nostalgia.

I like The Unfader best so far, thinking  it needs a name like the ever-popular Compressorizer. I was going to suggest The Unpackerator, but I suspect jfadetool is stuck now.

There are a couple of Sims3Pack tools at Sims3Tools now, but I dunno if they cover what JFade was planning for his.

Sims3Packinator or Sims3Packerator a la Rohina's suggestion would work.

LMAO some funny suggestions  JFadeTool sounds good.

BTW why cant sims 2 items work with sims 2 they all have the .package file.  Its stupid!  I know the whole graphics thing, but why did they not make some sort of transformer, that could transform sims 2 items.

Yes and no. That's kinda what I wanted to do but I do plan on additional features such as download management, etc, so I'm going to finish my version anyhow.
