Smaller & Merged CC
PlumbobForge compresses and merges your CC for smaller disk space usage and much faster load times in-game.
Sets & Configurations
PlumbobForge allows you to organise your CC into sets and configurations. That allows you to turn specific CC on and off with a click.
Information
Frequently Asked Questions
PlumbobForge only operates directly on your package files inside your Documents directory (
Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods). It is 100% compatible with patch 1.67, 1.69, EA App, Steam, and original physical disc installations.
The 32-bit Sims 3 engine opens an OS file handle for every single package file. Having thousands of loose files leads to excessive disk lookup calls and severe startup delay. Merging 500 small packages into 1 big package reduces operating system overhead by up to 99%.
No need to un-merge. PlumbobForge keeps all of your original files in its own Library folder. You can easily find and move your un-merged CC any time you want.
PlumbobForge is 100% free and open-source software released under the GPLv3 license. There's no ads or invasive tracking.
