Quick note...

Read the Very Important Safety Tip from the outdated thread where this program was originally available. Seriously read it!

Also, for those familiar with the program from previous versions, the biggest change with this one is that it now supports drag and drop of files to the Your XML File field. In addition, if you are trying to compare files which were extracted using S4PE from another mod it will automatically remove any of the "%%_INFO" from the filename and find the file to compare using the extractor's standard "S4_TTTTTTTT_GGGGGGGGG_IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.xml" file naming convention.

Thanks for continuing to make mods and tools for Sims 4. Could you please find the time to update the outfit_copy mod. I screwed up and saved the game after the last update without mods thus wiping out all my sims (100+) clothes hair etc. I have been using the new reset_bathing by Linere but it doesn't include some skin and other things my sleep and or swim outfits have. It does make their bathing outfit just the base nude skin. I am sure a lot of simmers are really hoping you will make this work again. This is one of the most used mods that I have and I have really appreciated several other of your mods. Thanks again!

Having problems getting it to save the winmerge path. Mine is on the D:\Program Files not on C:\. I load the program up, click browse, follow breadcrumb path to the winmergeu.exe but everything is still greyed out. If I close the program and reopen it, it does not save the path. I have also tried compatibility mode to Windows 7 (on Windows 10 Pro) and running as admin.

UPDATE: I uninstalled winmerge and reinstalled to default path and is working however I try to keep unnecessary programs from C since it is an SSD drive. I prefer to have programs such as this on D instead.

Hmm, I only have one hard drive myself, but I can look at the code and see if I can figure out a reason why this might be a problem. Doesn't seem like it should be, but... well, all I can do is look

ETA - One note - you don't need to run the program as administrator unless you need those permissions to get to the files you want to read. The settings are saved separately for each user that runs the program.

ETA2 - I should definitely be able to debug what the issue is, I get the same results by moving WinMerge onto a USB stick.

Thanks for the bug report!

Since the masculine/feminine patch and any patch after that I've been getting a not found in extracts error. So I've been re-making my mods with each patch just in case. Hopefully this gets updated/fixed but doubtful since the creator of the program is AWOL

Loving this update scumbumbo. Not just the speed, but the way it handles the not found xml's. Perfect, thanks!

Thank you for this ! But I have a question. I extracted all the xmls, but my game is patched and I can't get the older files to compare. Where could I get these files ?

I'm trying to patch a mod, but I always get errors.

I just changed to a Mac and am sadden I can no longer use this wonderful tool. I wanted to say a big thank you Scumbumo for the new features! This is my go to tool to use for my XML changes. I am out of my home state for a bit and won't have access to my desktop with Windows. Again I want you to know I love all you do for the Sims community.

Is there an update to this MOD that the late Scumbumbo had made? I went to the link provided, but this particular mod was not listed.
