@omgyamisocringe You said you were editing a "txt file".

What file are you referring to? What changes are you trying to make?

    Don't touch resource.cfg file as mentioned above! It is not to edit or open now! It has already set three levels for subfolders but you have to remember the scripts mods need the first level.

      @kreatora Just trying to figure out what file they're referring to. They didn't specify. Although the resource.cfg is the only text file in the mods dir that the base game creates. But the user has mods, and mods can use other text files that might crash the game if configured incorrectly.

        Sorry, I should address it to @omgyamisocringe Y.
        She wrote that she can play the game just fine if she doesn't try to touch this txt file. So all other files were working properly.
        She was referring to a resource.cfg. If you are using many levels of subfolders in the mods folder you can to open this file with notepad and change the number of levels the game will read in this folder. She had no reason to touch another file

      @Psychotps  I've added mods before even deciding to edit the resource.cfg file, but I didn't see them show on CAS or the main menu screen. I would understand if I didn't at first check the script&cc box before restarting my game. First, I left it the way it came, but then I changed the format, but still nothing happened (besides the error I showed).

        If you still have the old game folder, delete followings files:  ReticulatedSplinesView file and Reticulated Splines file.
        Find the same files in your old game folder and paste them in the new folder. After this, you will able to see mods and CC in the main menu screen and CAS. But let the game create a new resource.CFG

        Otherwise, you will have to disable mods and play a few minutes in the old safe without mods. Save and exit the game. Only now add mods and enable these options. This should help.
