You need to download the '''Pack File Manager'''. A note about the use of the "Pack File Manager" for all players who are not experienced how to use this tool. I recommend to be very careful what you edit in the database tables. One wrong entry can cause crashes. Please create a backup before you edit a mod in case that it doesn't load anymore after you changed it.
