 S2PK, or Sims 2 Package Manager, aims to provide a simple cross-platform solution to package management.
 
-## ❓ Why This Exists
+## 💡 Why This Exists
 
-While The Sims 2 runs well on Linux through Wine, especially with Lutris setups, and natively from macOS, only the Windows community had varies mod managers and installers compared to their cross-platform counterparts. Later installments addressed this dilemma, but TS2 never got that treatment.
-
-`s2pk` aims to fill this gap: a no-nonsense CLI utility for packaging, sharing, and managing mods across all platforms. It’s small, clean, and plays nicely with scripts, backups, and version control. In theory, it would be possible to use it on legacy front ends.
-
-## 🚀 Features
-
-- First-class CLI support for modders on non-Windows platforms
-- Custom default unpacking directory for The Sims 2 & 3
-- Pack `.packages` into portable `.s2pk` archives
+S2PK was created to address the need for a reliable and efficient cross-platform package management system for The Sims 2 on Linux and macOS. Players on these platforms often face challenges in managing mods due to the lack of a unified solution that their Windows counterparts solved a long time ago.
