Renaming Files
Orikes:
This is probably a dumb question, but I wasn't sure, so I wanted to ask anyway.
Is it safe to rename the package files? For example, I have a floor with a name that's a string of numbers and letters. Is it safe to rename this to something that's more representational of what it is?

Make sure you keep the .package if your explorer settings display extensions. It's unadvisable to rename hacks because it might lead to a situation where you have (for example) the Seasons and Bon Voyage version of some awesomeness which could lead to undesirable outcomes.

But otherwise, yes, they are renamable, and no, it doesn't break anything.
Gwill:
Only some very few hacks need to have special names in order to load in the correct order.
The game identifies files by GUID and other numeric strings inside the package file, so the name is pretty much irrelevant. The only cases where you might have problems are with very long file names in very deep subfolders.
Orikes:
Ahh. Cool. Thanks guys.
I'm not dumb enough to rename hacks or mods. I was mostly concerned about walls and other crap that ended up with a nonsense name. :)
