@jenni: When you open the file, choose to install in a different folder than default, with extension .package: in this way, in that folder you'll have all the packages extracted.


Thank you sooo much!! I had NO idea you could do that!

Paperbladder:
I think the thing should feature a spotlight-like feature for accessing features of the program.  For those not familiar with it, if I press a hotkey then type in "Nei" it would come up with "Neighborhood Editor" and then launch it when I pressed enter rather than going to Tools > Neighborhood > Neighborhood Editor.  I'm thinking it should be a bar on the bottom of the screen and show File, Edit, Tools stuff when nothing is in the box.  If there's something in there then it should have 3 or so results on the bar.

As for the program itself, it should be modular and summon modules with the spotlight-like menu system or right-click menu.  This might not be possible, but I believe it should also have a multiple document interface much like Photoshop or Opera.  Since SimPE has problems with the fact it is written in C#, Java(we're not using Solaris) or Python won't help the speed any.  Maybe as the main interface for accessing the modules Java could be used since it includes a GUI, but everything else should be in a compiled language.
