How to change billboards?

I want to replace the files mod "Russian Billboards and something special" and paste on the billboards in the game other pictures. Using ExtractPackfileGUI I unzipped the mod file, which contained two files .cpeg_pc and .gpeg_pc. With SR3UnpackTextures I unarchived the pictures of all the billboards, in DDS format. With the internet converter I converted these files to PNG, changed them with Paint, and then converted them back to DDS.
What do I do next? Have I made any mistakes? Do I need to put the pictures into .cpeg_pc format? - If yes, how?

Don't convert them. Open them with Gimp or Paint.net, edit and save changes but don't convert.
Check the tutorial I made: https://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/editing-saving-and-packing-textures.18063/

I was able to change the billboards just by throwing gpeg_pc and cpeg_pc into the game files, but for some reason the whole world has a brown tint. Maybe Saints Row IV - Workshop upload tool can help fix this?

That's the way it was from the beginning:

Maybe that's why it's broken now. Check if the edited texture has the same size as before, check if the file name ends with .tga.DDS, repack cpeg_pc file using SR3RepackTextures tool, pack both files using Workshop tool and save ass vpp_pc file to mods folder. Make sure to remove the mod you replaced textures of, otherwise it can cause bugs too

For some reason, when I try to go to the download link of the upload tool, I get the error "Product key is already activated".

I hate buggy Steam. Anyway, I installed the Workshop upload tool, used it, and the brown tint disappeared. Thanks, now I can modify mods.

I have a problem, SR3UnpackTextures works only once, and then does not turn on. I have to restart the computer to make it work again. How do I fix this?
 
Just move cpeg file over SR3UnpackTextures and drop to unpack textures. How were you able to do it before?
