THIS PROGRAM IS BETA.
THIS PROGRAM IS BETA.
DO NOT USE IT ON FILES WITHOUT MAKING A PROPER BACKUP.
NO SUPPORT WILL BE GIVEN TO ANYONE WHO RAN THIS ON FILES WITHOUT BACKING THEM UP!NOTE: Before responding to this thread, make sure you've reviewed this thread for a few reminders... Program number 2 came out sooner than I anticipated! JM Pescado updated the dbpf-recompress tool that was the backbone of the original Compressorizer for the Sims 2, so now you can have the same Compressorizing goodness for your Sims 3 game! Purpose:The Compressorizer Redux! will compress DBPF package files to save hard drive space. Just like the Sims 2 Compressorizer, the Sims 3 Compressorizer allows you to pick a directory and will search for all known file extensions utilized by the game. Currently, this includes: - .package
- .dbc
- .sim
- .sims3
- .world
Current Features:Functions just like the Sims 2 Compressorizer. Point the program at a directory and it will search for files within that directory and execute the s3rc.exe tool on them. Current Known Issues:Unlike the Sims 2 Compressorizer, the s3rc.exe window DOES pop up to show you results. This is intentional for debugging purposes. If it ever throws an error for you, you will be able to isolate which file caused the problem and report it to Pescado. Once we're sure everything is stable, this window will be hidden again. Requirements:The program requires that you have the .NET Framework version 2.0 installed to run. InstructionsDownload the attached .zip file and extract it to a folder. Doesn't matter where. Launch CompressorizerRedux.exe to run the program.

Vista X64? Bleh. I have no idea actually. Probably some goofy Vista "feature" that's screwing the file search up. shamus252 wrote: Your version wont work for me tried 0.1.3 and 0.1.4 using vista x64.

This thing doesn't work. I'm using Windows XP, latest Java, latest everything. Everytime I try to add files an error pops up. Here's your details:

Heh, oops! I was too quick to blame Vista.  Bug fixed. In my defense, a lot of other tool makers are running into problems with Vista so I figured that was just it. Truly a "rake in face" moment.  New, fixed version uploaded.

Have you been given your props lately? If not, here's mine! I have downloaded quite a bit of stuff already, and the Compressorizer Redux seems to be working just fine. I do have a question though, why are there so many different opinions as to where downloads are to be directed? If you visit one site, it indicates that NOTHING goes in the DOWNLOADS folder; whereas another specifically directs one to do so. I understand the installer that comes with the game redundantly loads them in three different areas, but why is there not a general consensus around the community? Also, thank you for http://forum.jfade.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=467&start=0 the information!  edited to correct too much stoopid.

I blame the lack of consensus on the fact that everyone and their dog is trying to be the first to do stuff, so they're not thoroughly researching their stuff. But oy, that thread is out of date, I'll have to update that soon.

I only saved ONE megabyte. Is this right? What's the use of this if I'm only saving 1 MB? I had over 1800 files in my downloads folder.

I have the same problem. It always says I saved 1 mb, but when you look at the before and after size, you can see that it's actually still the same and that I didn't save any space whatsoever.
Your 3Viewer isn't working for me either though, (can't even install it properly because it fails to create any directories even though I'm the administrator) so I don't know what I'm doing wrong in general that's causing these programs to not work. I'd like to blame it all on my Vista laptop seeing as it absolutely sucks but it's probably more probable that there's something I'm doing wrong or that my computer settings aren't right.

Hi, I have a question, this programme works great, I want to shrink stuff tthat i've already added to the game with the sims launcher, where do I find them in the game to do this as they no longer get stored in downloads? I have used it on my mod packages folder but don't know where the stuff pack files go once installed Many thanks!
