Subfolders for downloads?
simaddict:
Hello, I'm wondering if it's possible to do subfolders like we did in TS2. I like to keep my downloads organized but w/ all the different steps I've ready about installing CC I'm totally lost.
J. M. Pescado:
Ahahahahah. Subfolders for downloads. That's a good one. See "The Launcher And You" in Facts.

Actually, you can totally do this if you have your Resources.cfg set up properly. I already have mine set up to snarf packages from folders one level down from the standard Mods/Packages directory that all the MTS, sims3tools, etc people seem to be working as a default. Works fine, I have the into-skip mod, HystericalParoxysm's patterns, the hidden traits unlocker, etc etc up and running in my game, and they all live in their own little anal-retentively named and organized sub-folders. It's just, you know, subfolders in the actual installed program directory of Sims3, not the blob of crap it spews into your home directory. My Resources.cfg looks like this (the relevant lines are "Priority 498" and what's just below it):
Code:
Priority 501
DirectoryFiles Mods/Files/... autoupdate
Priority 500
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.package
Priority 499
PackedFile Mods/Test/*.package
Priority 498
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.package
Priority -50
PackedFile Mods/Probation/*.package

Should be, yeah. The only thing you'd have to watch out for is if the modders decide to start using those priorities for something else in order to assure compatibility between mods (like the old zz_* filenames for TS2).
This is only for mods and community based-CC, though, not the EA store crap. Although maybe people will come up with a way to load those from Resources.cfg too; that'd be nice, given that the Download Manager is apparently a braindead piece of shit.
J. M. Pescado:
In theory, you could get EAxis content to load from resources.cfg, but it wouldn't HELP, since the names of EAxis content files are TOTALLY USELESS. I personally advocate that the community boycott the horrid launcher method, as it becomes COMPLETELY UNMANAGEABLE in a GIANT UNSORTED LIST OF POO, and leave that as the hellhole of EAxis content.
