Heh, i have some tricks ive picked up over the years.
What i did was make a template in a txt file.
Certain thigns you can use "find and replace on" works like a charm. Id make one, find/replace certain variables , then take the new block and paste it in.
Some of the best modding tools are acutally, wordpad, notepad, and beleive it or not, winzip.
Winzips my favorite. Say you want to edit all the SNS files in the sea directory. Creating all those sub directories is a PITA and chances are you'll screw up. Zip the entire sea directory in winzip, then sort the contents of the zip file by file type, and delete all the files you dont want. Leaving just the SNS files. Unzip that into your mod, and BAAM, all SNS files in their proper directories.
