[ALPHA] SmoothJazz 13-0126-2036 - 26th January 2013 by peter


This is a tool for editing Sims 3 JAZZ resources, which are involved in animations.

With many thanks to TigerM - who has moved on from simming and has kindly donated his source code to the community, which forms the origin of this tool.

PLEASE NOTE THAT 13-0126-2036 IS CONSIDERED POTENTIALLY HARMFUL UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE IN THE WILD
So keep your previous version handy and do let me know if there are any problems -- and, more importantly, if everything works.


SmoothJazz_13-0126-2036.exe: Windows Easy Installer version
