It is the year 2021 and I'm also having this bug for the first time after updating to SimSettlements 2. I just wrote to say thank you to Rebelscum to do the crunchy work for all of us. This bug is really annoying, since it basically forces me to only use SimSettlements busnesses and assets, and while handy, they're not the easiest to wield when you're trying to micro a settlement. It also breaks some quests, like the one where you need to assign minutemen to the guns in the Castle. Can't do it, the settlers just don't do anything.

This worked when it came to editing ingame files, thanks! But I still can't edit other people's mod files. The game keeps either showing the same texture as before, or the Nexus tells me that the mod is not installed if I unzip, modify and re-zip.

Well, I did as you said, but it doesn't seem to work. When I unzip the compressed mod, edit it, and then recompress it again, the game doesn't recognise the mod as existing. Oddly enough, the assets from the mod STILL appear ingame, even if the game doesn't recognise the mod. So the game must have some place where it backs up the used textures, meshes and assets. That, or the mod really is installed somewhere else as well. I'm always going to the Nexus directory, where the mods are downloaded, but is there where they're installed? Damn this is confusing.

I'll try that, thanks!

Thanks for your answer! I did that already, but I see now that the problem may have a different root: For some reason, I can't add or modify the files inside a .rar folder, the one where the mod I want to modify is... which is weird. Can it be that the Nexus makes mods uneditable? I modded graphic files left and right in Skyrim and F3, no problem. I'm a bit confused here. EDIT: The "add file" option in the rar file appears grayed out, and I tried just unraring the mod into a regular folder, but then the Nexus doesn't seem to recognise it...

Hello! I've downloaded a series of decoration mods and I'd like to do some changes to them... but I was surpised to see that the changes in the files don't translate into the game. For instance, I change the Brotherhood's flag into something else, I save the file, but ingame I still see the original flag. What am I doing wrong? Is there a cache or a backup the game is using? This happens with the mods as well, any changes I do to dds files in the mod's own folder doesn't translate into the game. Any help? Thanks!
