The Sims 2 Compressorizer was always a great tool, to turn big files into little ones. sims.jfade.com/index.php?category=10&subcat=5I just wished, we could have a Sims 4 Compressorizer. The game won´t start quick, with too much CC. The Compressorizer could fix such problems. Does anyone think, it´s do-able? |

I don't know if it's the same. But Studio has the ability to merge .packages into one. You can do that in Tools/Merge packages. You then can choose which ones to merge.

i didn't use any cc in my sims 2 era. But i did used the sims 3 versions. The compressorizer not only merged, but reduced (i don't know the technic part of it) the size of the package. Like a winrar for cc. The only thing i noticed was that it reduced the quality of the thumbnails.. but i'm pretty sure it did more.

I used the sims 2 compressorizer for all my CC and I had a lot. It reduced the file size down to about a third I think. It didn't merge any of my packages they all stayed the same just smaller and easier for the game to load. Nor did I notice any thumbnail difference but it may have affected them and I just didn't notice. It would be great to have this tool for the Sims 4 seeing as the packages can be large with lots of re colours.

rafael Yes, merging the packages will actually combine them together. I don't believe this will also compress the size to be reduced. But I've read some comments about that the number of files has an impact in the loading time. So if you have less packages for the game to read it would load faster. To be honest I don't have that much CC that my game will actually freeze while loading. I haven't merged my packages neither, but I guess you can always try. Studio won't replace those merged packages. When you use the tool it lets you select a folder where to save the new merged file. But it won't touch the files you included in the package.
