# addtogame.sh v1
# this script install certain sim 3 mods from archived files
# this is crude. I made it in like 30 seconds for my narrow purpose
# I get mods from modthesims.info - some mods need to be installed differently

# setup
# to make it work you need to setup the mod framework and to change the Packages directory in the script
# framework
# You can either make files and folders yourself or download a .zip file containing these and put them in the folder; the .zip file can be found in this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1528390853
# That zip also contains two mods, "nointro.package" and "NoBuildSparkles.package"
# To do it yourself you need to add the following to Sims 3's installation folder:
# a. Mods directory
# b. Resource.cfg file in Mods (the content of which is in comments at the bottom of this script)
# c. Packages directory in Mods
# d. Overrides directory in Mods (this crude script doesn't use it but it's proper framework)

# usage
# put compressed files containing .package files into their own folder, then run this script and it will extract them and move the .package files into the right directory
