I have no idea if you put this in the instructions or not but it might help to do it.
Editing the .cfg file works just like the way you would edit the resource file in Sims 3 to get it to recognize your card.
You HAVE to select 'save as' and select 'all files' before saving and then find the existing 'mc settings' file and replace it. I would suggest making a copy of this file and pasting it somewhere else before making any changes. If you do not select save as then the extension gets changed to .txt and the file no longer works.
I'm just using notepad, no idea if notepad ++ automatically selects the right extension.
Yeah, Notepad++ will save it as a .cfg file. And do a ton of other very cool stuff. I've not used notepad since I got ++.

OTOH, Deaderpool thanks the Pycharm creator on his mod page (because I would've killed myself by now using Notepad++, he says... LOL!) but I don't know what Pycharm is. Probably a Python editor? So N++ probably isn't all that for some uses... works great for what I want it to do, though! (User not modder.)
Nice thing with Notepad++ is that it has a lot of plugins to support different program languages. There is one XML tools that you can use to make the games XML files readable. Use Pretty print (XML only - with line breaks) on a lastException file and it will format the single line of text to be readable by humans. It will not help you understand the text though.
