| merged all mine and loaded up the game and they work perfectly....not sure if it has made it hugely faster...I merged about 150 down to 7 though so it at least looks neater  Also I have been able to add some of the files I had removed because they were slowing my game down  I now have more hairs....yay _________________ |

| One question. Like now i've already created a newly merged file where all my current .package file is already combine. Let's say tomorrow i have a new .package file, do i merge the whole thing again or just merge with the one that already has everything inside? |

| Well, all i can tell is this merging is successful for me. Anyone who tries this MUST follow every single steps so that there won't be any accident. backup your games and mods. This merging doesn't overwrite your original mods they just create new ones. I have not try with game mods or core mods. I only merged all my CC stuff like Clthes, Hairs, Makeup and shoes. Oh. Objects in Buy and Build Mode too. They're all success. Just try not to mix them into one. Get them separate in individual category. Hope i helped  |

I have never conbined my mods just hair,clothes objects ect. I also converted most of my sims3packs to packags abd did the same thing with them. I have found that counters cornors become unrecolorable. I would leave counters as sims3packs. It really does ake a big diffrence. My game loads in 5 minutes

You can take conbined packages and conbined the again. I have a hair package and when I get more hair I add the to the alreadt combined package |

Thank you! This is really bugging me. I can't risk to try so i merge whole thing again... Now you've said so, i'll merge new stuff with the one that already contain all other stuff instead doing all over. |

| Another thing. After we merge those file avoid having the sim3package file in the launcher or installed in the game. Otherwise that particular item will appear twice in the game. This happened to me but i don't know about others. Just avoid |
