Decrapifying My Sims 3 CC - Part 2

After 5 1/2 hrs of messing around with the Mods folder...and all the backup files, I have managed to get all the WinZip and 7Zip files all organized...in such a way that I'll be able to deal with the mess that is left insofar as the Sims3packs are concerned. Please tell me again how much I love this game to go through this headache?

This is my Sims 3 CC folder after 9PM tonight after having painstakingly gone through all the WinZip and 7Zip files seeking out all the zipped package files and putting them in the proper spot. Hopefully this will prevent the game from crapping out because of the amount of package files in the game.

It is about at this point that I'm thinking that I am going to have to go through each and every single one of my Sims3packs and utilize Delphy’s Multi Sims3Pack Extractor to extract each and every package file out of the Sims3pack and rename them one by one...which is what I call a royal pain-in-the-ass.

The other option is not so palatable and involved having to utilize the launcher and install it that way...then extract each and every single package file out of the DCBackup folder...then go into S3pe and figure out what each blasted Sims3pack file was named with to begin with. That's going to be a nightmare.

Then after that joyful escapade, I'm going to end up having to organize all of the now extracted package files and dump them into the backup mods folder; make a copy of the folder and rename it to mods, then copy it over to the mods folder on \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.

I think I may be done around June 2018.
