{{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.

It is compatible with ''The Sims 2'', as well as all of its [[expansion pack]]s and ''[[The Sims Stories]]'' series. It can be 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 can be used to edit Sims' names, but should not be used to edit a Sim's first name. 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
