Thats because data.acd is a package of files, can't simply open it in notepad. You need to extract it, either with Content Manager or other tools that can do this.

So I have to unpack through CM first then ill be able to edit them?

Yup, once you unpack, you’ll get a data folder with all the files in it. Then you can delete the acd file, the game will work fine with just the data folder
