| − | <noinclude>Sometimes you will make a mistake and create a page with a bad name, or you will spot a mis-spelled article title. In these situations, you should mark the article with the appropriate template, which will automatically place the article into one of the [[Requests| requests categories]]. Once there is reasonable certainty that the problem has been alleviated, then the template can be removed.
| + | The '''Type Group Instance''', typically abbreviated '''TGI''', is the sorting format of the Database Packed File (DBPF) archive, and is used to identify, reference, and link files within [[DBPF]] files. A file's TGI consists of three, eight-digit [[hexadecimal]] numbers, the [[Type ID]], [[Group ID]], and [[Instance ID]], respectively. As TGI's are relatively unique to a particular object, they are the preferred method for referencing game objects, which might have multiple names in a variety of languages or naming conventions. Additionally, objects sometimes have very similar names, making the TGI an ideal way to differentiate between the two. |

Sometimes, particularly in the case of mods, it is desired to give an object the same TGI as another, so that one will override the other. Typically, this involves creating a mod that has the same TGI as a Maxis object that came with the game, so that the custom mod will overwrite the default settings. |
