- Added an icon and changed the name from "STBLizePlus" to "STBLize+."
This is a rewrite and extension of Buzzler's STBLize. It has most of the capabilities of the original in addition to the following features:
- Accepts both XMLs and YAMLs to convert into STBLs
- Allows the user to split keys into hierarchies within YAMLs for the convenience of not having to write the full paths for each string
- Allows the user to split keys into hierarchies within YAMLs for the convenience of not having to write the full paths for each string
- Can convert STBLs back into XMLs and YAMLs
-
You must have the "unhashed" STBL (which must always be called "Unhashed.stbl") in the same folder as the STBL you are dragging and dropping onto the executable—I recommend storing that in your mod's package with the other STBL resources, with the instance of the TGI of the "unhashed" STBL resource beginning with "0x17"
- The keys of the output YAMLs are automatically split into hierarchies by colons, forward slashes, and the following suffixes:
- _Female
- _FemaleFemale
- _MaleFemale
- To prevent the nesting of folders of converted files, for any folder that is created as output of the program, any conversions of files within that folder will show up in a new folder in the parent directory (i.e., the folders will be at the same level in a path; see the above GIF for a visual example).

- Buzzler (for making the original STBLize, which I looked at the source code for to port to Python to use a dictionary flattening/unflattening library that I was too lazy to rewrite in C#)
- Twallan (for making STBL Creator, which STBLize is based on, and also for making Packer, which I sampled the source code of for reading STBLs)

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.

About Me
I am a 25 year old web developer who also likes to write code as a pastime.
I have severe ADHD and am terrible at explaining things, as my mind is all over the place while trying to do so, so please forgive me if I do not communicate necessary information in a coherent and comprehensible way.
Also, no, I do not look like the Sim in my profile picture.
