I'm really don't know how to mod this game

[Minor Annoyance]

I recently tried to move around some virtues but was making no progress. It's ironic that I did better modding the source code for civ 4 but xml changes are stumping me in civBE. I've looked at others and some use <Update> and others write in things like it's new but is still adding to an existing entry. And some use sql to change an xml but are doing the same thing I've seen other do with an xml. Sometimes the things I change work and sometimes they don't and I'm not sure why. So is there a guide for someones that doesn't have formal post high school education in programing but does pick up computer stuff pretty easily?

There are two iffy videos (I only watched the first one) that display modding a building and a wonder, the first videos shows you how to set-up mod buddy (although I had to set mine up differently to get it to work, with a different user path) and create a building. LINK BELOW

Once you get the hang of that you can look through the XML files within the civBE installation ie
\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth\assets\Gameplay\XML
look to the folder of what you want and then the XML's and it will show you several options as to what you can use, and the default value, and what kind of value can be used boolean = 1 or 0, sometimes true and false also works, and integer = numbers.
