PLEASE NOTE: Due to the sheer size of this program, the TS3Tools installer downloads many various files during installation. Files.7z (all the files that make TS3Tools work), Resources.7z (the bitmaps and background music) and Sims 3 retail game patches to be stored alongside in order to bypass the NSIS 2GB hard-coded limit. It also means one file on MTS, instead of splitting it into many 256MB rar files. This is normal behavior for the installer, it will store this data alongside TS3Tools, but none of that data gets installed until you tell TS3Tools to install it. It was always designed this way, and this was not a change that occurred later in the programs lifecycle.

It's official!

TS3Tools has gotten to a point where I am comfortable releasing it to the public for use. I have been working on this project off and on since 2021, and while it started out merely as an enhanced launcher for the game and a side-project, it has evolved into so much more.

There's also a nifty easter egg hidden in the program, props to anyone who is able to find it.

The app and site have links to the Discord for general chit-chat and support as well.
