What exactly are you wanting to do? Did you download somethin? Do you want to recolor somethin?

Why do you want to get into the .package file?

Yeah, not sure what you're wanting to do, either. If you're looking to manipulate .package files, then what you generally want is SimPE. How you'd use it depends on what you want to do.
I'm mostly found on (and mostly upload to) Tumblr these days because, alas, there are only 24 hours in a day.

Hello, I guess I'm going to raid this tomb-thread XD. I also want to extract .package files: in my case I want to do this so that I can get the meshes inside and import them into Blender to modify them, make animations, etc. :D

Hi @I.R.I.D.E.S.C.E.N.T.

If you've never modded or used SimPE before, you probably need to start with the basics.
This is a tutorial which explains object creation:

More tutorials here:

If you have any issues or questions then it would be best if you start your own thread, explaining what you have done and what you want to achieve, here:

Hi! thank you for the info ) I downloaded SimPE some weeks ago, and have been doing minor things with it. For now, it's not that I want the models to mod, but for rigging and animations.

If you read that first tutorial I linked you to, it will show you which resources contain the mesh, so then you can export that to use in Blender. There's a specific tutorial there for Blender so you know how to do it.
