I don’t think I posted about TSR’s Merlin tool, have I?  I’ve added it to the Sims 3 programs section awhile ago but I did not make an announcement.  Sims 3 Nieuws brought to my attention that the program received an update which includes various bugfixes, a wizard, desktop icons and support for installing multiple files at once.

If you are not familiar with the tool, it lets you quickly and easily install custom content, mods and other creations in both .sims3pack and .package formats for The Sims 3. You can just as easily uninstall the same content through Merlin’s easy to use Download Management facility.

To make installation safer you have the option to view the content of a file before you install it, giving you complete control over what you install into your game.
