Don't directly modify the Objects.package. This can potentially cause problems.
For an override, you'll always want to extract the resources into a new file, which you can put in your Downloads folder (depending on mod type, some might need to be put elsewhere).
For ingame objects, extract the OBJD fresources for the items you want to change, and set the price there. The Object Relocator is more meant for CC.
You'll need
SimPE for this. Not sure how much information the Object Relocator needs to be able to read the file - it is possible you can use that one, too - but you have to make the file and extract resources first.
Very important note about this kind of mod - any mod that uses the same OBJD resources won't work alongside each other, so if you have one mod that changes the price and another that changes categories (or does anything else with the OBJDs), only one of the mods will work (usually depends on the naming of the mod). You can however do multiple changes in the same OBJD resource, so if you want to be able to use both mods you'll have to combine the information into each OBJD in one mod.

Once you've found the items you want to change pricing for, extracted the OBJDs (rght-click + extract), imported them into a new file (file -> new, right-click --> add), this is how you change them.
* Click on the "Object Data (OBJD)" resource, and again on the single resource that pops up in the "Resource list" window. If there are more than one OBJD, pick the one without numbers behind (those with " - 0.0" or "- 0.1"). You'll know it's the correct one if some of the room/function sort tick boxes are ticked. If they're empty, it's the wrong resource.
* Make sure you're in Plugin View. Can usually be found in the tabs at the bottom. The Plugin View will change to fit the resource you click. The "Object Data Editor" should now show in the Plugin View window.
* Click the little tab in your Plugin View that says "RAW Data" and tick the box that says "Decimal" (because Hexadecimal is hard to figure out)
* Under "02. Catalog Prize" you can set your prize. The first one (0x0012:Prize) is the main prize that shows in the catalog. I'm not quite sure about the others, but they're usually set lower than the main prize. I think they've got something to do with decreasing value and sale prizes if you have OFB.
* Click "Commit" (to the left, below "Filename") after each item. Save the file (give it a recognizable name) when done.
