Key Table and Resource References
Many resources in Sims 3 packages refer to other resources. Resources are identified by a 16 byte value made up of:
DWORD Resource type // T DWORD Resource group // G QWORD Instance // I
These are known as the resource key. Generally they appear in the order shown above and the canonical reference format you may see is "TGI" or a string of numbers like 00000000-00000000-0000000000000000.
Where one resource contains many references to others, there is frequently a table listing the TGI values. Within the resource, the location of this table is given by a value known as the key table:
DWORD offset // from after reading offset DWORD length // 4 + entries * 16
At offset will be the list of resources.
DWORD count1
--repetition count1:
{entry}
where {entry} is the resource reference as TGI, consuming 16 bytes.
