Default Acronyms terminology in Sims package files
my title might be misleading yet I do not know how to put it, lol
Is there a link to explain what af, tf, cf, etc.? I'm looking at my package files and I found some that say puBodySportsJersey, pfBodyVicDressJacketBow
I understand that af=adult female, am=adult male, yf=young female, ym=young male, tf=teen female, tm=teen male, cf=child female. cm=child male, but what does the u mean in cu, tu and again the other two mentioned pu, and pf

I'm concerned because I had a sim3pak that started with the pu and the launcher said it couldn't install because I didn't have the Expansion pack but I have all the ep's and all the sp's except for the movie stuff pack which I don't think its out yet right?
after that I was looking thru some other files and I found a package file with the same prefix can anyone help me with a link or an explanation Please?
Thank you in Advance

PLease move this if it is in the wrong forum area.

U = unisex, for both male and female. P is toddler, so PU would be toddler unisex. That wouldn't cause the error you're having.

ok just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a Sims 2 disguised as a Sims3Pack (package file). I had the same issue with some Sims3Pack files with a "recolor" word in the filename, I use dashboard for the package files but I do not think it works for Sims3Pack files? With My luck, of a personal human error, I install a Sims 2 content into the game rendering it to crash or something Something I definitely don't want to happen

Where have you encountered this? By the first letter, it should be CAS content for babies of both genders.
