SimCity (2013) Mod Help

[Voldore 0]

Hello. I've never used mods before but decided to give it a try. I've downloaded a Water Mod for Simcity 5. I've unzipped the .package file to the correct folder. The script files were already up to date so there was no need to copy/paste them into their folder. Launched the game and started a new region.....saved it....completely exited the game, including Origin. When I reloaded the region, put in the basics to be able to provide water. I selected the first water tower, and saw that it said $Free $No Cost and thought 'Great! The mod works!' ... When I tried to plop the tower, I noticed a red message stating 'No Water Available In This Area'.... Rubbish! The water table was dark blue! I plopped it anyway, and at first it showed I was getting water. A moment later the residents were saying they had no water. I clicked on the tower, and suddenly my available water was -0.1.... Did I do something wrong? I'm on a laptop running Windows 10 with the Digital version of Simcity including CoT through Origin.

EDIT: I've managed to get a region going with some working mods. However, if I exit for the night and reload the game the next day, the mods no longer work.

If anyone is still following this thread please help. I am having no luck getting mods to work. I've used the online video tutorial explaining how to download and extract the files, and then placed them into the folder on my drive. But they just don't work.

For the moment I'm pretty happy with the game as is, but I'd really like to be able to drop and raise roads so that I can create interchanges and over/under passes.

If anyone knows what I might be missing please help.

Your must place the  .package file on the data directory of your SimCity game directory. the mods only used in single player mode.

Thank you. I think the problem I'm having is I can't figure out which folder to place the .package file into. SimCityData or SimCityUserData ... and then within the userdata tree does it go into the folder titled "packages"?

See attached .JPGs.

Either that or I just don't know what the correct keystrokes are for the raise/lower tool ... I thought they were M and N. If the problem is something as silly as that then maybe I shouldn't be playing LOL.

SimCity data is the good directory.

There has to be something about the correct keystrokes then because you can see in that .JPG it is loaded properly. Correct?

p.s. Thanks for your reply earlier. I figured out how to comment on XoXide's original thread so hopefully they are still reading and reply.
