FAQ v0.1

What are the red files ???

Packages that are marked in red contain files that overwrite original game files. This might be any kind of game rules override like teen woohoo, but it also might be some object made by Maxis ®. or a Career package.

Should i remove them no matter what ?

It is completely up to you. If you're not sure what it is, and you want to be sure your game is hack clean remove it. If it is something you know and like do not.

What are those pink files ???

S2PCI marks duplicated files in pink, you may sort file list by MD5 to find other file (they have the same MD5) and remove one of them. It might be worth to check filenames of the packages and remove one which has a weird name consisting of some number and characters only.

How do i check filename of the package ???

Hover your mouse over a file and a popup with filename and other information will appear.

What are those empty packages ???

Actually they are package files that have no files inside them. If you have a lot of downloads you might have a lot of those files, some people reported having 300 of them. It is known that they are sometimes created when installing lots.

How do i install multiple lots automatically ???

What you have to do is go to your S2PCI folder and open S2PCI.ini file with notepad. Now find a line which says "AutoInstallLotFiles=False" (which shouldnt be difficult :) and change it to "AutoInstallLotFiles=True". Be warned though ! Files installed that way are not checked so you can install some hacks into your game. If you're not sure if you want to do not enable this option.
