| xoxofactoryxoxo Original Poster | Hey all After doing a clean run of my game a while back, I lost quite a few sims3pack files. I've managed to find a good amount of them except for one. No matter where I look, I can't seem to find this skin. I might be overlooking it, but it isn't showing up where I was sure I downloaded it. This skin I'm looking for is this one: It is kind of 'grainy' (almost freckled?), has a red-ish undertone in the cheek area, and those lips (he's not wearing lipstick as far as I remember). I really adored this skin and it shows up as missing in my game. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it! Here is another image of his sister with the same skin, although she is wearing makeup. Just wanted to give more references and show that she has freckles on her chest in this skin: Thank you very much in advance |

SIMS3PACK Packages
Some content for Sims 3 is delivered via a .sims3pack file.This file is essentially an compilation of multiple Package Files stored in a single file to ensure that all requiredresources are kept together.
Skin Mod Sims 3
The sims3pack file is split into 3 distinct sections: File Header Section, XML Document Section, Archive Section.
File Header Section
The File Header appears at the beginning of the file and is composed as follows:
XML Document Section
Following immediately after the File Header Section is the XML Document Section. It contains a single XML tree describing the contents of the archive section.
The XML elements are described after the Archive Section description.
Archive Section
The Archive Section follows the XML Document Section.Each Archive described by the XML Document has an offset and length value associated with it. The offset is from the beginning of the Archive Section.
XML Element Description
The XML Document starts with a standard XML Declaration specifying version=1.0 and encoding=utf-8
This Declaration is followed by an XML Root Element <Sims3Package>
Any of the following Elements may appear inside the <Sims3Package> element.
| Element Name | Description | Observed Attributes | Observed Values |
|---|---|---|---|
| <Sims3Package> | Root Element of the XML Document | (Type='world' SubType='0x00000000'), (Type='CasPart' SubType='0x00000004'), Many Others | |

Notes
- It appears that the resources stored in a sims3pack can include .PNG files as well as .package files.
- .png files appear to be named as a TGI reference, i.e.: 8f78f74b-00000000-0000000000000000.png
- .packages files appear to be named as a GUID, i.e.: 0xc97ea9c600104fcbafdf2d64ffceae2b.package
