for Windows |
| 8/10 To
download Stuffit
you DO need to register in so far as you need
to sign up your email address and agree to
receive their newsletter.
It has the
peculiar merit of being able to extract .sit
files which are the old Mac version of a zip
file, as well has handling zip and rar files
although the .sit format is really a little
obsolete and almost never seen in the Sim
Web.
In most
aspects Stuffit
appears to be reasonable and straightforward
program, the 2 points I've deducted have
largely been due to the fact they have made it
more tricky than necessary to acquire the
software, the registration requirement and the
pricing of their products is not 100% clear
(don't worry - the basic version IS free). It
also doesn't have 7zip compatibility and the
installation process is a little
cumberthesome.

| Setting
Up Stuffit Expander |
| Once
you have downloaded Stuffit
, double click on
the install file to start the installation
process. The setup is reasonably simple
although not quick as there are various forms
to fill in, it doesn't seem to be necessary to
put in your name, company etc, but your email
address is again required. Follow the
on-screen instructions.

| Using
Stuffit Expander |
| Once
it is installed you can either right click on
a single zip, or drag a selection box around
multiple zips then right click to open several
at a time. From the menu choose 'Stuffit
11' (or whichever version you happen to
have) > Expand >
Expand Here to extract the files to the
folder your zips are currently in. You can
alternatively choose to extract your zips to
your Desktop, or
change the options using Expand
with Options...
When
extracting a single zip you can use the Expand
to Folder named after archive which
means Stuffit will create a subfolder with the
same name as your zip and put the contained
files in it. This isn't generally recommended
for Sims custom content, especially not for
Fashion items, makeup, hair, clothing, meshes
etc.
