Did you know? Torque wrenches are essential parts of your tool kit because they help to make sure that fasteners are tightened to the specified torque. If a fastener is overtightened it can lead to equipment damage, whereas if it is too loose then it can come loose over time causing dangerous situations. #precisebuilttools #precisebuilt #dualdirection #bolttightening #torquetools #mechanicman #wrenchforacure #toolorganizer #handytoolbox #handytool #mechanicmeme #mechanichumor https://www.instagram.com/p/CmEwHtRp_Zg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sims 3 Pattern Recategorizer (S3PR) Tool

Organize your CC pattern files with ease!

Current version: v1.1.0.2

Recategorizes pattern .packages (overwrites those files upon recategorization)

Extracts ICON resources

Download: SFS | MTS (coming soon)

How to use this tool: extract the .zip file to a new directory and open the executable (.exe) to run the tool. Detailed steps in the README.md file included.

More information under the cut!

Credits: This tool’s utility was inspired by @ktarsims‘s pattern hoarder tutorial which suggested changing pattern categories to be more consistent and extracting icons for better organization. In addition, the source code for @chocochipsims‘s Pattern Preset Color Extractor tool (the tool can be found here) was monumental to helping me learn how to identify and extract pattern-specific resources within sims 3 .package files.

I’ve been sitting on this for a while! A while ago, I gauged interest for this tool that I had built for my own uses. With the help of @simlicious‘s vigorous testing and enthusiastic suggestions, this tool has been polished! Currently, it only supports .packages, but I am considering implementing .sims3pack support in the future. This tool does not modify any files that aren’t pattern .packages.

Potential feature roadmap:

Support pattern .sims3pack recategorization

Able to change surface material type

Able to change pattern description

Give TSRW patterns unique res keys (A.K.A. why some .sims3pack patterns cannot be converted to .package without manual editing)

I’m happy to take suggestions for future improvements!! I’m also happy to support any interested collaborators who want to work on this project! Working on it isn’t exactly my top priority — so I encourage any enthusiastic simmer to help make this a full-fledged tool! It’s coded in Python and uses Peter L Jones’ s3pi .NET library to work with Sims 3 .packages. I have already made some preliminary progress with .sims3pack files (message me if you want to know more!).

I sincerely hope you enjoy using this tool and that it makes your pattern CC organization a little easier! ✨

Some mid-morning tool porn for you. I'm redoing my entire shop which is something I've not had time to do for over a year. Well, I made time. A nice piece of cedar, some custom mounts for mountmaking tools (oh the irony), and a lovely vinyl background for each tool. That little M12 driver with all the attachments is my new favorite thing. Spark&Anvil is officially a Milwaukee fan. 😍 ⚒️ 😍 ⚒️ 😍 #SparkandAnvil #mountmaking #mountmaker #museumwork #museumlife #arthandler #arthandlerlife #preparator #toolporn #milwaukeetools #knolling #theartofknolling #toolorganization (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWq3nW8vO30/?utm_medium=tumblr

I needed a better organization of my tools before I will start other Subaru repairs in my workshop. For the last 2 days I have been manufacturing portable organizers. I made them from what I found behind the workshop. Parts of discarded shopping trolleys, vacuum cleaner tubes and similar material... 😎✌ . Potřeboval jsem lepší organizaci svých nástrojů, než se pustím do další opravy Subaru v mé dílně. Poslední 2 dny jsem vyráběl přenosné organizéry. Udělal jsem je z toho, co jsem našel za dílnou. Části vyřazených nákupních vozíků, trubek vysavačů a podobných materiálů ...😎✌ . #worshopideas # workshoporganization #garageideas #garageorganization #storageideas #toolorganization #madefromscrap #ironscrap #monstersubarus_shop
