This is probably in here someplace, I have had to reinstall all my games due to the last windows update. Now I am back at the beginning trying to remember how to reinstall all my custom content, I have the frame network installed even for the latest expansion. I have saved all my content into packages. Can someone explain the process to me once again on how to put my content into the game. I have gotten most of the packages from here and they are in package format, with the exception of what I had previous on my hard drive from the EA Store. I just can not remember as how to install the packages into the mod files that had been created using the frame netword.
EA has changed their method. Try looking at some of the topics on the first page and see if you can guess which one will answer your question. Protip: it's remarkably obvious.

Anach, you genius. I love you to bits.
At first I had alot of memory errors, but it was just a simple solution of merging no more than 200mb worth of packages at a time (approx 130-150 packages).
I now have turned 1k+ extracted store items and about 200 of my own custom things into a simple 14 files (decrapified and recompressed before extracting with Delphy's tool).
I've gone from 7-10 minute loading screens and choppy ingame performance, to less than 1 minute loading and instant ingame scrolling.
This really does work wonders! <3 <3
ps. for those wondering, I only merged CAS and Build/Buy items.. not scripts or default replacements. I have about a total of 30 package files now, and the game runs flawlessly.
ETA: Also amazing how 200mb worth of small packages can turn into an average of 120-130mb in the merged files. Talk about EA bloating..

Thank you. However, my Wife wanted me to let you know that I'm a married man, and cannot be having any internet lovers. :P

I finally got it to load without crashing, but I can't figure out how to sort the files to find those 0x73E93EEB files. I could go through and find them manually, but besides taking a lot of time, it I'm afraid I'll miss a few.

In s3pe, make sure Display: Tags is checked at the bottom of the screen. Click on the Type header at the top, then the Tag header. This will sort the files alphabetically by Tag (such as _XML) and subsort by Type (such as 0x73E93EEB). Now they're all in the same place and easy to find and delete.
