I can't even begin to thank you enough for the fact that it maintains the file name! I have so many extracted sims3pack files that are just a mess of random characters that I have no clue what they are... This will certainly be the new way I handle pack files. Thank you!

Hi, I downloaded your program, but I don't understand how to use it. Give some examples about the names of directories, which I should configure after extracting the zipped files. Give some more detailed instructions for newbies like me.
And I have some questions:
1. Does this tool clash with Custom Launcher, which I use for the package files?
2.Does this tool clash with some mods (Twallan's or awesome)?
3.Can this tool install multiple files?

Could you make a version that doesn't need admin rights every run?

Thanks so much for this awesome extractor. I downloaded it a while ago and I use it all the time! I love how you can extract packages from (multiple) Sim3packs just using the context menu. And the integration with S3RC really saves me a lot of time!

I love this tool! Thank you!

I created a batch file that calls RigFix instead of s3rc and now I am using this to both extract the package and fix it right away. Saves huge amount of time!

Thanks alot for this!

Since a week i was having weird problems with the launcher (i know using the game launcher..tss tss) that would "install" my downloads, but in game there was nothing, and each time i restarted the game, the downloads were always uninstalled.

So, thanks alot for your tool, its a great work around with something i know that will work well. (Yay for packages!) The tool works like a charm, really easy to use.

Simple question: does it works with patterns too and store items? Just want to know before i bork my game once again.

Attempting to run this from the command line under Windows 7 results in a "Permission denied" error. I assume this is because it needs administrator rights, as zaide_chris mentioned. (Why? It is only modifying a file in my document folder.)

Is there a way to solve this? If not, this program is useless to me.

I have a program to help organize my CC, and I want it to unpack sims3pack files 1 at a time (so that it can keep track of which package came from which sims3pack). Delphy's multi installer works great, but having to click the button for each of hundreds of files is a pain and takes forever. I really want a command line extractor. This appears to be exactly what I am looking for, if only I can make it work under Windows 7.

@danceguy
If you call "set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER" on your command line before calling this it should be forced to run with out admin rights. Should work in bat files too.

Thank you so much for this! I totally love it - and the fact it puts sims3pack extracted files into already named folders when it has more than one package inside.. it is saving me loads of time and do not have to do it one by one and manually make folders - like with delphy's (but I do love his stuff so not complaining or anything)
my question is - how many sims3pack files is safe to drop onto the program at once? I have dropped 30 so far :-) but I wonder if it can handle many many more? thanks and wow! I do love this program - saving me soooo much time!
