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.
Welcome also, @Morphar !! Thanks for the tips above... I'll look for that LE formatter... no worries on me not understanding its output, that's pretty much a given. But as a layperson, I am fascinated by what I can manage to glean from those files. Prettier would be nice.
I actually had another question, about the resource.cfg nesting configuration you posted in the mod comments pages... CAN script files be nested with that setup, or do they (as I remember from way back) still HAVE to be in the /Mods folder only? As opposed to something like Mods/MC or whatever. Just curious. I did nest my (other MadameButterfly and Scumbumbo) package file mods, I already knew that would work fine.
Thanks for checking on my thread... I knew I could count on some of MTS to come over (when I asked for help with this "project"). :smile:
I was *not* expecting Deaderpool... gobsmacked me! LOL Or you, either, really... a nobody like me, new kid on the block, and yet I find myself in this thread's driver's seat (
@luthienrising o:) ), already gone over there running for HELP... and it followed me back.
I feel pretty good right now. This is awesome.
Okay... /end fangirl mode.
