Line 1: {{Era\|RW\|TS2\|TS3\|TS4}}A '''package editor''' is a program that is used to access, view, and modify the package files utilized by ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. Package editors available to the public are third-party programs and unofficial software, thus they are unsupported by [[Electronic Arts]]. The most well-known package editors are '''SimPE''', '''s3pe''', and '''s4pe''', for ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims 3'', and ''The Sims 4'', respectively. Though all three games utilize the same .package extension for files, the files are structured and formatted differently, and only a package editor for the correct game can view or modify the file. [[File:SimPE.jpg\|thumb\|150px\|An example of a version of SimPE.]]▼ '''[http://sims.ambertation.de/ SimPE]''' is a third-party program which allows you to view (and often work with) the "package" files that ''[[The Sims 2]]'' uses. It's probably most used for viewing and editing - and occasionally fixing - various things about the Sims themselves, though it can also work with objects, clothes, and meshes. It allows players to add memories to Sims, change the family trees, and resurrect Sims that can't normally be resurrected with the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]] or other ways in-game. It can be used to clone objects and to extract resources from a "package" file, which makes it useful for creators of [[custom content]].▼ ==SimPE== ▲[[File:SimPE.jpg\|thumb\|150px\|An example of aan early version of SimPE.]] [[File:SimPE UI.png\|thumb\|150px\|A screenshot of SimPE's Sim Browser.]] ▲'''[~~http~~https://sims.ambertation.de/ SimPE]''' is a third-party program which allows ~~you~~players to view (and often work with) the "package" files that ''[[The Sims 2]]'' uses.

More advanced features allow players to add memories to Sims, change the family trees, and resurrect Sims that can't normally be resurrected with the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]] or other ways in-game. It can be used to clone objects and to extract resources from a "package" file, which makes it useful for creators of [[custom content]]. SimPE will associate the .package extension with itself; with SimPE installed, .package files will be tagged as "DBPF Package" files. This allows players to easily open a .package file in SimPE. Players who have ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and/or ''[[The Sims 4]]'' in addition to ''The Sims 2'' should note that all three games use the .package extension, but use different file formats. As such, SimPE will ''not'' be able to work with .package files from any newer games. ===SimPE links=== * [http://sims.ambertation.de/ SimPE] * [http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpe/ SimPE project page at SourceForge] * [http://downloads.sourceforge.net/simpe/SimPE_0_72_01c_Setup.exe Direct download link for latest executable installer], at SourceForge. ==s3pe== [[File:S3PI.jpg\|thumb\|150px\|A screenshot of s3pe in use on Windows XP.]] As SimPE is not compatible with ''[[The Sims 3]]'', another version, called [http://simlogical.com/s3pe.htm s3pe], was developed. It is significantly smaller and more lightweight than SimPE for ''The Sims 2''. {{Expand}} ==s4pe== Shortly after the release of ''The Sims 4'', a package editor called [http://sims4group.github.io s4pe] was released. {{Expand}} ==See also== * [[I Am Dead Token]] * [[Game guide:Bringing Sims back to life]] * [[Resurrecting tips]] * [[Game guide:Changing names]] [[es:SimPE]] ~~{{stub}}~~ [[nl:Pakketbewerker]] ~~[[Category:Community]]~~ [[pt-br:SimPE]] [[ru:SimPE]] [[Category:Tools]]
