{{OldWikiEntry}} First there is some header info... 

18 - Header (Sims2 Packager 1.0) 
4 - Data Offset 

Then comes the XML data... 

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<Sims2Package type="Object"> 
<GameVersion>2141707388.153.1</GameVersion> 
<!-- START REPEATABLE --> 
<PackagedFile> 
<Name><![CDATA[XXXfilenameXXX]]></Name> 
<Crc>552674faeebf57f3a8f0550f690ac902</Crc> 
<Length>8903470</Length> 
<Type>Object</Type> 
<Offset>0</Offset> 
<Description><![CDATA[XXXdescriptionXXX]]></Description> 
</PackagedFile> 
<!-- END REPEATABLE --> 
</Sims2Package> 
</pre>

Following this comes the file data according to the offset and size info in the XML header. Also, the offset is relative to the end of the XML data.  The DataOffset in bytes 19-22 should also indicate the end of the XML data.


Obviously the "start/stop repeatable" tags don't appear in the file, thats just for your benefit. This archive format is used for object downloads from www.TheSims2.com, and as such contains *.package files.
