User blog:Krankomat/Is it possible to look into the source files?

Hi there,

so I've seen that User:HeronX232 and User:TheHatter have made The Big Mod. I'm really curious how you've managed to tinker with the source files of MySims. Editing the -Files seems like the way to go, but that doesn't explain features like essences following the rules of gravity.

Maybe there are some modding tools from The Sims, which you can also use on MySims-Files?

I am very much an amateuer at data mining, but I would like to research the mechanics (like relationships) and document them in the Wiki.

So do you guys know a way to open  or something similiar? Using the Hex Editor doesn't show much useful data... and this file seems to be the heart of the game.
