3. Not recommended

I'm not recommended @osiris answer. Arguments:

1. In new versions of Sublime Text and/or operating systems (e.g. Sublime Text 4, macOS 14) paths may be changed.
2. It doesn't take portable Sublime Text on Windows. In portable Sublime Text on Windows another path of Packages folder.
3. It less simple.
