# 📦 Sims 2 Package Manager

S2PK, or Sims 2 Package Manager, aims to provide a simple cross-platform solution to package management.

## 💡 Why This Exists

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.

## 🛣️ Project Roadmap

| Phase | Goal                                        | Status |
| ----- | ------------------------------------------- | ------ |
| v0.1  | Core package manager                        | ✅      |
| v0.2  | Config file with default destination        | 🔜     |
| v1.0  | Stable "Release" version with documentation | 🔜     |

## 🧩 Tech Stack

- .NET 8.0
- C# (focused on clarity, safety, minimalism)
- System.CommandLine for CLI parsing (no external libraries)
- Pure backend logic (no UI planned)
