So, I Can't Edit my CFG File Without This Error:

I tried deleting the cc that it wanted, but I realized it just wanted me to keep on. I then removed the mod folder to my desktop so that I could generate a new one, but that method as well as checking "game options"didn't work. I also went into origin and repaired, updated game/origin, uninstalled both game and origin, but alas, nothing has changed. I'd like to say that I recently gotten a new laptop for Windows 10 and I don't have any Spyware software that's blocking anything. I can play my game just fine if I don't touch this txt file, but it's making it impossible to do things. It worked previously for the same laptop, so what gives?

    @omgyamisocringe  Ok, this is what I would do to clear it up once and for all...  It'll take some time but it's for the best...

    1) Go into your MODS directory and DELETE the file resource.cfg

    2) Take your entire MODS folder and move it somewhere else like your desktop. Make sure there is NO mods folder left in the old directory, so the mods folder itself is completely gone.

    3) Run the game.

         - Step 3 will automatically create a new MODS folder and resource.cfg file.

    4) Quit the game.

    5) Create new directories in the new {empty} mods folder such as...

       CLOTHING

       HAIR

       EYES

       DECOR

       etc

    6) Go through all the directories in the old mods folder on your desktop and copy all the .package and .ts4script and such files into the new directories in your mods folder.

    7) DO NOT MODIFY or REPLACE THE RESOURCE.CFG FILE.

    8) Run the game - Once loaded make sure to turn on mods and scripts (if you have any) in the options.

    9) Quit and re-load the game.

    It should work.
