Tools
I keep a large set of tools for all kinds of purposes. In fact, it is so many tools that I am beginning to lose sight of them all. Following is a list with all of them as I use them:
A word of caution:
Some programs and websites listed here as tools may not be safe and merely being on this list should not indicate trustworthiness. While I never add things to this list that I have already determined to be malicious, I can always make mistakes or they may have become compromized in the meantime. It is the responsibility of every individual user to verify the legitimacy of a webpage or service they are using and to take proper cybersecurity precautions.

AutoHotkey
AutoHotkey.com
Scripting program for system-wide, programmatical hotkey programming.
Saved scripts in Documents\AutoHotkey, programming is done by editing .ahk files with Notepad++.
To compile, run AutoHotkey Dash and use “v1.1.37.01c1 U32 Ahk2Exe.exe” base file for compiling scripts.

Cheat Engine
D:\Programs\Cheat Engine\
Application memory editing tool used for editing process memory during runtime.
Needs to be compiled manually from CE's Github or paid for on CE's Patreon. Using the free, pre-compiled release is cumbersome and painful, and using the paid installer from CE's Patreon will ask for Patreon Membership before installing, making the installer worthless after ending the membership. Copying an existing installation seems to work.

QuickBMS
QuickBMS Homepage by Aluigi Altervista (that name turns me on)
“Universal script based files extractor and reimporter” or “QuickBMS generic files extractor and reimporter”.
Download the base and then additional scripts, like Unreal Engine 4 Extraction Script, to extract contents from a huge variety of container formats used by thousands of games, for example .pak files used in UE4. Directly extracted content may still need further processing and/or conversion into a useful, properly readable format. In the extraction process for any game (except Unity), QuickBMS is probably the first step.

SceneryAddons
SceneryAddons.org
Website offering otherwise paid Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 addons for free download, most notably the Asobo Premium Deluxe Airport pack. See also SimPlaza. SceneryAddons distributes specifically airports and scenery, while SimPlaza primarily focuses on aircraft, liveries and other customization.
Downloaded files should be extracted and then placed into the game's community folder, which for me was located under C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community.
