XML tuning mods are fairly easy to make even without this program, and you can make them with the updated versions of the game's XML files so that you can be sure they'll work correctly with your game and with other updated games. Please see the Create dropdown (Sims 3 > Modding Discussion) for info and tutorials on making XML Mods.
