Don't Starve Together

Extended Sample Character DST
Can you change the SCML file and have it work?
In the desc it says its possible that changes in the SCML file wont appear in game, is there any way to have it appear in game though? i am unable to test my character because i keep getting an error that says "Dedicated server failed to start"
if anyone can also help me with that too itd be really appreciated, like, very appreciated.
