So ... I've got some Sims3Pack files and have already got a partly-functioning editor for them ready to go (Picture here, obviously final version will have a LOT more information, this is just the basic bare bones). Editor will let you preview everything in a Sims3Pack file (yes, PICTURES!) before installing it and clean it up for distribution. It will also show all meta data relating to the content. For Sims, this means you can see their favorite color, their traits, fitness/fatness, etc. etc. Houses will show the price, lot size, and a picture of each level of the house. Other content will be similar. The main plus to all this is that you can bypass the Launcher entirely when installing custom content. It's written in Java so it's entirely compatible with both the Mac and the PC. PC version will be wrapped as an EXE so you can easily associate Sims3Pack files with the program. The biggest problem now is coming up with a name. I prefer names that are either Awesome Alliterations (IE Wardrobe Wrangler) or names that make people laugh (IE the WTF Editor). Any suggestions for a name are welcome. Once we get a number of them, I'll pick my favorites and run a poll for them. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  EDIT: An early version of the program has since been uploaded. Get it here: http://forum.jfade.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=466 |

I do not have the right kind of imagination for naming things. For instance, I think "Sims3Pack Editor" is a fine name. But I do want this very much. In fact I want this NAO! Why don't you name it "Excellent Editor" or "Suddenly Sims 3" and get it to us quickly? Later on tonight would work for me.

I want people to stop saying, "Son of a bitch". Instead we should say "Son of an ASS" because that is more accurate. Spread the word!  |

Simpaketor or EAxisEradicator.
Does this mean I can put sims2 object package files into sims3 with this?
or is it only for recolored items within the game?

Hey Jfade, long time since I heard from you. Excellent work on your new package editor. If I had to give it a name...well I'm also horrible at giving ideas but I've been juggling with "ICE Pack", "ICE Pack3r", "ICE SimPACK". ICE stands for "I Can Edit". Not the best name in the world, but it's a start |

Ah, jfade! I haven't talked to you in a few months, my fellow Hoosier! I was hoping you'd make something like this.  As for names, I agree with "Phadely Phinagler". Although I'm sure you want Sims 3 somewhere in the title. |

Phadely Phinagler's got my vote for sure! Have no idea how to pronounce it, but I like it!

"The Phadely Phinagler" is not a very good name and I strongly disagree with it as it does not fit the program's purpose.
I suggest something more similar to what it does but it's not stupid. Personally I'd leave it at TS3 packer and be done with it.

I am a fan of this one... It tells you in the name of what it does... and the 3000 looks kool and it also reflects 3 being Sims 3.. Puts both hands and feet up for this one... 4 votes. |

WTFunpacker? Pack Peeper 3000!
I like this too. Peek and peep are so inherently funny. Hey how about just 3-Pack, with a logo of a pair of briefs? Goes with the 'peeking' theme too. |

I'm surprised more of these suggestions don't involve the word three, because thr is such a euphonous cluster. Threepeeker? It could be "Threek" for short, and you could use a three-pronged fo(u)rk as the logo.

3View is pretty good, actually.
The problem with calling it JFadetool is that it does not distinguish it from WW and WTF, and whatever other jfadetools there may be. Clarity, FTW?
