Wrap Up

Recap

Let’s do a quick recap of what we just learned.

General Knowledge

• objects can be used to define custom data types using primitive data types and other objects
• XML and JSON can store data in a way that is usable by computers, but still human readable
• Binary can store data in a very high performance way, but isn’t readable

Sims 4 Knowledge

• Sims 4 packages are just a collection of resources that reference one another
• Resource keys are used to identify unique resources
• String tables are used to store text that will be seen by players
• Unique IDs can be generated using FNV hashing

Whew. A nice little mishmash of knowledge that hopefully made some sense. Now let’s actually apply tha knowledge and make an actual mod!
