PACKAGE file is used by EA for storing game data. The already installed game uses PACAKGE file to add different features in the game.

The PACKAGE file can either contain information related to the objects or elements available in the game which can be used to enhance the graphics of the game. The file can also contain system files which can be used by the game to add new gaming mechanism. All the required files for new added features are packed using a single PACKAGE file which is then extracted by the user in the game directory so that the game program can access these files.
