Re: I don't have a bin folder for the sims 4
@b614db0016da8f26 First of all, it looks like you're editing the file in Bin_LE, which is for the Legacy Edition. Edits to this file won't change anything if you're running the standard version; you'll need to edit the file in Bin (without the _LE) instead.
If you use a third-party antivirus, disable it while you're editing the file.
You can also try copying the file to your desktop, editing it how you'd like, then moving the new copy back to its proper location in Bin, which should overwrite the original, that is if your system grants you permission.
