Good morning
So from what I can think of you can ALMOST do this but there is one step that might be manual unless there is a code guy around who can automate one bit of it.
It looks like TSR as a page with “all new resources” here:
https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/browse/category/sims4/skipsetitems/1/
Here is what I think might work:
- Run a URL checker on that page to monitor for changes such as URLooker
- When detecting a change on the page extract the first new URL from the HTML
- Drop that URL into a Google Sheet
Now here is the manual part because on the download page - the download button is Javascript. I personally do not know how to use Zapier to activate a javascript button on a page but maybe someone else does. You could also create a mouse macro with a tool like MacroRecorder.
So now you have a Google Sheet of the URLs of all the pages where new mods are and can more quickly go to each page and hit the download button.
You could then setup a zap that when you downloaded the mods they would say, automatically go to a specific folder in your google drive or dropbox etc.
