Downloaded CC .package files automatically converted to .pdf files?

@Gam3rGurl11  Can I ask a silly question? Does the files actually have the extension: " .pdf " ('*dot*pdf); or do they just look like pdf's, in their icon?

If the latter, I think it just means that you once chose to Open With.. and then some program for pdf's, maybe Adobe, and now Windows think all of them are pdf files.

But they aren't really, and they will work fine in game, as long as you have not opened them and saved them as such. Then you need to download a new file copy.

If they actually have the extension: (dot)pdf, I will have to understand why that happened before I can help you. 🙂

If you can't see the extension, you can make sure Windows shows them by checking the option File Name Extension in File Explorer>View

I don't actually use CC and mods, so hopefully someone who does will come along. I found a guide though.

Guide on Carl's forum on how to install CC and mods

It shows the icon of the PDF but the extension is a ".package" file. I copy and pasted it like I'm supposed to but it doesn't show up in the game.

Probably the file conversion indicates the source of the product code. The same situation was with me when I downloaded mods for Skyrim 5. Perhaps you need to convert these files to a different format to get the desired result. I usually use the service https://pdfliner.com/form_1099_misc in such situations, after the conversion I get the necessary codes and put them in the necessary folders with the game. Usually, the description of the installation is indicated on the site where the mods were downloaded from. Try to read carefully the description of this mod and the progress of its installation, I think we have a similar solution to this problem.

Hi all,
