TL;DR

Installation - just put the file in your packages-folder, the usual way, nothing special required.

How create a font replacement of your own

  1. Find your font somewhere online
  2. Download your font as a ".ttf" file
  3. Download my mod
  4. Open my mod with S3PE
  5. Right click on the "HelveticaNeueLTStd-Md" entry > Replace > choose your font in .tff format
  6. Right click on the "TextStyles" entry > notepad > a new window with CSS Code opens (this really easy to read, believe me)
  7. CTRL + H (to replace text within the file) > replace all occurences of The Sims Sans with the name of your font (do not remove anything else, only replace the name with your font name)
  8. Check if all got replaced right. Each quote symbol has to be present, just like before. Then Save the file and close the text editor.
  9. Save the package file in S3PE. You're done.
  10. Test the result in game.
