Sims 3 Help > EP3: Late Night - Resource.cfg: Quick Reply Print version. Search this Thread. I accidentally changed my resource file into a notepad, can anyone help? Because none of my packages work now. Not if you delete the old one and download that one, it won't be. It will be a.cfg file, not.

This article is a work in progress and is incomplete.

Resource.cfg file is basically a very limited type of script. Each line represents an instruction.
