I just wanted to say thanks for the guide that you posted. My game was incredibly slow and it runs as if I don't have any CC in the game. It's awesome! However, the only way I could get my CC to show up in the game after I merged it was to save it as a .dbc file instead of a .package file and then placing it in the DOCUMENTS/ELECTRONIC ARTS/THE SIMS 3/MODS/DCCACHE folder.
Configure your Resource.cfg to read .dbc files, then you can place the .dbc files in with your other custom. You also probably have some kind of framework fail if your game wouldn't read the merged .package files.

Hello everyone. Really interesting and helpful post and its following comments.
I have a question. Anach mentions in the first post the possibility of converting .sims3pack to .package and then merging as in the tutorial.
Is it worth?
Thank you! :D

The .dbc files that the launcher makes from your Sims3pack files and the merged file you are creating using simpe are pretty much the same thing(someone will correct me if I am wrong, I'm sure). I haven't noticed any speed difference over using one or the other, I have several of both. There are however, a few items in sims3pack that just will not install via the launcher. Usually ones from TSR, or made with their tool. It throws up a error when you try to install them, something about versions and you needing to patch, which is bullshit. If you want to avoid a headache of trying to install and them not installing, I'd extract the .packages and use simpe. Otherwise it's just trial and error, and then you end up extracting them and merging them anyway.

Can something be added to the top post to stop people opening a thread at my site every time they try to import HP's hair to a dbc? Can they be told to get support in this thread rather than at simlogical, and then if Anach and associates spot there *is* an actual error in s3pe, or an improvement can be made, we'll take a report from yourselves. Only it's getting kinda boring getting the same report over and over again, and we're getting tempted to remove the feature.

I've simplified the original post to hopefully take care of it. :)
