Tray folder and mods folder
Can you have sub folders in both the mods and the tray folders?

Ah, cool idea =)
I quickly tested packaging one of my own lots -- works fine indeed, with the exception of the lot preview in Library (overview). Do you happen to know where that preview is hiding? I guess one would need to put that into the package along with the rest .. but it doesn't seem to be in localthumbcache; I've no idea where else to look for preview pics.
ETA -- nevermind; it's all good now. It was just a typo -- the screenshots below show what happens when you give the bpi a wrong group ID =).
Also, I was able to delete that lot from Library just fine. Didn't crash or anything; the lot also remains gone from the Library when I restart the game. It did *not* actually delete (or otherwise modify) the package though -- so when one's using the in-game Delete for packaged lots, one should remember to also remove them from Mods, otherwise they'll just collect dust there forever.
Over at mts, I also learned the following:
I put a lot package for testing in this post (mts > Create > Building). A tutorial on how to package lots is here.
This is what I mean:

When I click on that, the large preview shows up fine (but not sure whether that's perhaps just because it's still cached somewhere?):

DarkWalker wrote:eleting an item in a .package (or even unpackaged but inside the Mods folder) is just like when you "delete" one of the default lots or households: instead of being truly deleted, the game just marks the item as invisible in the Gallery, and stores that in a file named TrayDeletedItems. Just delete that file and all "deleted" items will be back the next time you start the game.
