Package files opening in wordpad!!

Hello, I was downloading cc and I accidentally changed all package files to be opened in notepad and then trying to fix it I set them to open in word pad. Now all cc I downloaded have a word pad icon and when I download new cc the files open in wordpad. I tried changing default apps by file type but only apps it offers me to change are Dropbox update setup,Wordpad and Notepad. Does somebody know how to reset it back? Thanks in advance

  • @Patricaaaaaaaaaa  The file association is not a problem—the game knows how to read cc files regardless of the icon they have.  The icon is Windows telling you what app it will use if you double-click on the files, but that's not relevant to how TS4 uses them.  When you're downloading, be sure to click "Save file" rather than "Open with," and just manually move the files to your Mods folder as always.

  • @puzzlezaddict Thanks for help.After I made the post I checked the game and all the mods worked.My problem is that I dont know how to save the files when I am downloading because as I download them they automaticly open in Wordpad.

    To reset your file associations click Start, Settings, Apps, Default apps. Scroll down to "Reset to Microsoft recommended defaults". Notice that you will have to setup file associations manually for non Microsoft apps. (some will do it automatically when started.).
