The package file extension is associated with computer games developed by Maxis, a studio now owned by Electronic Arts.
This format is used in games from the popular The Sims series as well as in Spore.
In The Sims 2 Double Deluxe, The Sims 3, and Spore, package files store game resources and may also contain additional game content. The format is used by the Windows versions of these games and is game-specific rather than a general-purpose archive standard.
On Microsoft Windows, the associated game normally reads its .package files automatically from the locations where the game expects them. A package file is not generally opened by double-clicking it.
To inspect or modify one, use a compatible tool designed for the specific game. Make a backup before changing game data files.
There is no general conversion from this game-specific package format to another archive format. Compatible tools may extract or edit the resources inside a package file, but those resources are not necessarily interchangeable between The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and Spore.
