Sims 2 Hair Package
CC Hair Folders? I know this sounds like something about installing cc, and it is, but I already read all the help sections and there is nothing about my question. Also, I'm new to mts so I don't know if I'm putting this in the right place. On Poppy Sims it says to put your clothing package files under Documents Electronic Arts The Sims 3 Mods Packages Skins. But in your instructions it doesn't say anything about any subfolders of of the 'package' folder.

Sims 3 Hair Package Files
Gameplay strategy and discussion for The Sims 3. Base Game - CC Hair Folders? Do I have to create another subfolder under 'packages' for my package hair.
So is the skins folder for just clothing files from Poppy Sims or for all sims 3 cc clothing? Also, do I have to create another subfolder under 'packages' for my package hair files, or do I just put it under packages? I already am using a ton of cc clothing from poppy sims and it's been working fine. While it doesn't matter to the game where you put it, it will matter to YOU if you don't make an organized system for putting your packages in. I had to just delete everything and start anew because that was easier than updating to a particular patch. Instead of organized folders, I just had a big old mess.
Don't make my mistake! Come up with a system that makes sense to you.
Like I am weird - instead of doing items by what they are, I do them for where they came from. Then when a patch comes up, I can remove all my CC and then reinstall by website as I see that the items or mods are cleared for the new patch. But that's because most of my mods are tunings and not clothing or hair.
Package.package When I install a Sim with Clean Installer, it gives me the option to install the.package files in any subfolder of my Downloads folder and it installs it as a.package file. However, when I install a residence with Clean Installer, If I want to install the objects to a subfolder, I must use the Browse option and all the files are installed as a.package.Sims2Tmp file or as a.package.package file. Then I have to edit all the installed files to remove the extra.package or.Sims2Tmp from the file name so I don't have duplicate files with different file extensions. Am I doing something wrong or is the program set up this way? If the program is set up this way, may I ask why?
I gave up trying to install things to subfolders directly with cleaninstaller. I keep the top level of the downloads folder empty, install to that and then move things to subfolders. (to keep it clear, I put all my clothes and stuff in Saved Sims instead of Downloads - they can't go in subfolders 'cos I don't have NL) So Please can you have a look at the browse for the next update? Yes, this package.package bug is getting very frustrating! As you do Cwykes, I keep Downloads empty and then move the files to subfolders manually later. But unfortunately this does not work when trying to split up content from a Lot package.
If you don't allow Sims2Pack to put everything into the Teleport folder as a.TMP file then there appears to be no way around this package.package problem. I'm getting so fed up with renaming dozens of files manually that if I had even a little more free time I'd be writing my own app. To remove the extra extension. Hey there, all. I've been lurking for quite some time, but a recent headache over discovering TONS of package.package files prompted me to post.
So, first of all, hello! Second: get yourself a fairly-functional (not 'crippled-until-you-purchase') batch file renamer-you can go to or (both very reputable sites for freeware, shareware, and demos) to check out their reviews and ratings of these kinds of programs. The one I've found that works best (with no 'limited use' hassles) is called, simply, 'File Renamer' by Sherrod Computers (SherrodComputers.com). You only need the free, basic version to correct the package.package issue. Give it a shot if package.package files have you pulling your hair out-let me know if anyone needs help figuring the program out, btw It's not a 1-click 'Presto' operation (you have to set it up to look specifically for package.package files and tell it how to correct them). But it sure as heck beats renaming 50+files manually!.
There is a DOS file renamer you can access from windows without downloading anything. I haven't tried it for this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. These are the instructions for renumbering a 'hood, but I think they'd adapt just fine. 1) open a command window (Start - run - cmd) 2) go to the folder (cd 'My Documents EA Games The Sims 2 Neighborhoods N004', enter) 3) type this command: REN N004. N00Y. 4) go to the first subfolder (cd characters, enter) 5) repeat 3 6) go to the second subfolder (cd., cd lots, enter) 7) repeat 3 Cool go to the third subfolder (cd., cd Storytelling, enter) 9) repeat 3 10) go to the last subfolder (cd., cd Thumbnails, enter) 11) repeat 3 navigate to the Download folder and type REN.package.package.package.

I know this was posted a long long time ago, but my game has just started crashing and I have JUST noticed that a lot of the filenames I installed today (from a lot I downloaded) are.package.package somer have even more.
Do these filenames harm your game or make the game crash? If your computer hardware setup gives marginal performance with the Sims 2 then the presence of a lot of extra files could send it over the edge into crashing mode. But I think it is more likely that you may have simply downloaded an incompatible or buggy file with your most recent downloads. Try removing these new downloads and see if the crashing stops. What I'd like to know is, I'm getting the same exact file name with.package extension, then the same file name with.package.package and then again the same file name with THREE AND MORE, UP TO 8.package extensions!! My game is crashing, I contacted the author of one of the houses that requres 'trick 17' to install, they said that it IS the trick 17 that is doing this and say to rename the files.
(By the way, I LOVE the houses otherwise I'd say skrew it and delete those but am trying to work around it) MY question is this: Do I rename all of the extensions only to a one and single.package extension (which will of course cause all kinds of duplications in another way) - OR do I rename the actual files themselves with a bulk renaming utility and KEEP the multiple.package.package.package etc etc extensions? This seems to be a waste of computer space, but am wondering if the multiple.package extensions really mean a different file??? (I think not) I did try deleting about 300 of the 1200 or so duplicate files, but tried playing the game and it starts to load the neighborhood but keeps reverting back to a 'loading with hourglass/arrow' type screen FOREVER - (I restored those files but haven't tried it again yet) YIKES - this is very hairy for me, am good with computers but this is really stumping me - would LOVE oops to hear from someone who knows about this. Thanks (so much) kambre (aka Barb). Okay so here's hoping that someone out there sees this and has run up against similar problems or recognises something in this that I am missing, so here goes: Roughly about a month a go I decided to rebuilt my content from scratch, to begin with it was working okay a few bugs here and there and I managed to sort them but as I spanned the years of content (as far back as 1995) I have discovered many.package.package files and sometimes these go on and on well over 8 times.
From reading this thread I have learnt that it seems to be that make this happen, which is fine I stick things into a sub folder anyway like many of you on this thread seem to do. This problem has been fixed in the most recent versions of the Clean Installer. You can always rename files yourself, to remove excess.package extensions.
There are even bulk rename utilities which may be able to help you to rename them; be sure to get one which handles changes in file extensions. There is never any need for multiple.package extensions. You can always remove duplicate files and files which you no longer need. The marks duplicate files in pink. You should really try following this FAQ: If you continue to have crashing problems, even after completing the FAQ, then you probably want to post in the Sims 2 Help forum. There's no indication that your crashing has anything to do with the Clean Installer.

Cheers Mootilda & thanks for the speedy reply, I didn't think that it was but as I am sure you and the many others out there tend to do was just covering all the bases. I'll go and have a look at the link you've provided many thanks for btw, it's a pain since I seem to get three steps forward and ten back on any given day. I wonder if you can possibly answer me just one other thing that I am having trouble finding an answer for you know when there is a duplicate file by that I mean a.package.package etc are they safe to delete? For example having lipcorners-vivian.package.package would it be okay to delete that file if there is a lipcorners -vivian already present, it wouldn't invalidate or prevent the game from working properly because they are both linked in someway? Anyway thanks again for the help, it's appreciated and also if you are able to answer the question I just posed thank you for that as well. File which have the same name may or may not be the same files. They may also be different versions of the same file.

If you're concerned that you are deleting something that you actually need, there are some things that you can do to help yourself. 1) your entire Documents EA Games The Sims 2 folder first. That way, if something goes wrong you can get everything back. Delete your once you're sure that everything's working OK.
2) Rather than deleting CC, you can move it to another folder on your hard drive (not in Documents EA Games The Sims 2). This will give you a chance to run the game and make sure that everything is working before removing the CC for good. I hope that you get your crashing issues sorted out.
