I'm very sorry if this is in the wrong section but I don't know where to ask this question. I've googled and googled and cannot find an answer. I don't know why, but PSP9 has replaced all my package files with their icon.
I uninstalled S4S, the Sims4 and PSP9, then I searched my computer for any files relating to PSP9 and deleted those. Then I restarted my laptop and reinstalled Sims4, then S4S and then PSP9.
Still all my package files appear as the PSP9 icon image.
I tried restoring the laptop to an earlier date, but that didn't fix this problem. This is making me so upset that I am even now downloading AdobePhotoshop, which I have never used and am nervous about trying to learn a new paint program.
PSP9 even changed my Sims2 package files to their icon. No matter what I have tried I cannot fix this horrible glitch and it's very upsetting to me as I love to recolour things.
I am on AffinitySims.com and am known there as MissionMouse. Mostly I did stuff for Sims2 but Sims4 is kinda cool and I really enjoy doing clothing for Sims4, but since this glitch I am too nervous to upload anything in case it messes up someone's game.

If anyone can help me I would be so grateful. I am not a good technical person but I will try and do whatever it takes to fix this. I do know that for my own games, this glitch has no effect whatsoever on what I make, but if possible I would like to fix this issue.

I'm not sure what other information you need,

From what I understand, you need to change the file association, it is somewhat simple to do.
When you install a program, that program can associate certain file extensions to be opened with it. The Sims don't do it for .package because the game can't open a .package file directly, it just uses it. That's why it doesn't change on your computer even if you reinstall the game.
You can check this, it should resolve your problem: www.lifewire.com/how-to-change-file-associations-in-windows-2624477

Notice that for the computer, there is no difference between a Sims 2 .package, a Sims 3 .package or a Sims 4 .package, so the application you will choose to open a .package file will affect all of them. You can still choose a different program if you do a right click before opening the file.
