GUID list
This is a list of the GUIDs of all the Maxis-supplied items from the original Sims game, all the expansion packs up to and including Superstar, and the downloads from the official Sims site. It's useful for when you're looking through the code of an object and you come across a "create new object instance" command. Using this list, you can find out exactly what it is that's being created. The list is in tab-delimited text format, so it should be easy to import it into the wordprocessing or spreadsheet package of your choice to make it more "readable".
