Default How to update an outdated mod package?
I want to update an outdated mod (that has been abandon for about a year and the creator literally has only made one thing and then left), for personal use, to the latest patch of the Sims 4. I am currently following this tutorial here: http://simsvip.com/2016/06/27/creat...-updating-mods/

However I have come to a snag. I don't know how to get the XML file to be extracted from the package. I have already tried this: http://modthesims.info/d/563256
and it has not worked for me. I have been trying to do this for HOURS and I am tired. Could anyone inform me how to go about updating this particular mod?

Also please do not suggest to me that I need to wait as I feel that this mod has been completely abandoned. This mod is crucial to my game-play and I have stopped playing the game entirely for various reasons: including storytelling and I really want this mod to work again . I hope I do not come across as rude when I ask of this.

Thank you and I appreciate this in advance.

Thanks for coming back

I have to say, that mod, being a genius idea, never got to work correctly.
There were several bugs related to bills.
It's not a simple mod to work with, but again, nothing's impossible, I'll take a look at it, just to see what has changed that broke it.
I'll let you know !!!
