Also 7-zip can open rar files, and if you can't get 7-zip, winrar, or any of the other programs you have a real problem, any of the mentioned programs are really worth it, and most are free.

Yes it does Waiwai. No Sims2Packs are allowed - this includes Self-Sims.

Thank you so much for this! Also, it is really cool that you compressed all the sims2pack files for everyone.

Not having to deal with so many different file types will make it easier to organize my installed downloads folder, too. Often I will compress the ones I download so they are all the same file type, plus it saves space when I make backups on cds. I like my files really well organized...I'm kind of a neat freak that way. :umm:

Thanks again!

Thanks bunches and bunches! I love this site and was bummed to see it down but I know it has to happen from time to time.
Ooh and another installer thingy that I came across that might help those who DL many files at once, it's called: UnzipThemAll it can handle rar files as well as zip. It is free! You can choose to unzip many files to one file all at once and it goes rather fast. Here is the site for you to check it out: http://www.herve-thouzard.com/modul...php?articleid=6

I use Sims 2 File Maid, it handles all the different types of files for the game and installs them for you.

This "excessive maintenance" actually prevented me from making one huge mistake. I wanted to upload a sim - at 2 am it looked great. But in the morning - dear lord, what did I smoke?! So, Delphy, thank you. You saved my neck ))

I use ZipGenius for extracting my downloads. It can do .zip and .rar files as well as many others. ( http://www.zipgenius.it )

I have a quick question though. Why RAR? They do have better compression formats, like 7zip or tarball(yes, I know its linux, but you can still use it on Windows

).

Straight Tarballs aren't compressed. They are similar to the Sims2pack files in that they are uncompressed files strung together into a single file with a bit of code telling the utility how to seperate them. The resultant tarballs are usually compressed using Bzip or some other compression software, but that is on top of the tarball. Exactly like putting a Sims2pack file into a zip or rar. :bandit:

What about .bh files? I use IZArc for those. Are they considered a good format, or not?

Delphy, I think this may have caused a problem with one of my uploads...

http://www.modthesims2.com/showthre...709#post1171709 :gonemad:

It was originally a sims2pack, and people were using it without problems, but since the switch it seems to be an empty sims2pack instead of a rar...

Q express isn't a valid win 32 application according to xp and I have trouble uncompressing them with winrar. So...It's great that you're doing this, but is there another way? zip files are the best.

Just wanted to say thanks to you for this fricken HUGE and free awsome site and to all your time spent on it. Also I went to your website and dude you been doing this for 2 years take a vacation man.
