You'll have to use S4PE to extract the .gfx files. They're i Ui.package.

I've never seen that error. Maybe you could try copy and pasting the file to your desktop and see if that works.

You need to decompile them with Adobe Flash or a free program called JPEGS will also do it. The problem with JPEGS is that the free version won't let you import a modified element back into the file. The only thing you can import into a file with the free version are text-based scripts of some kind, no images or other types of elements.
The UI and GFX files were discussed here a little bit concerning the software required:

I just opened them in a hex editor and changed the first 3 letters that were "GFX" to "FWS" and then opened them with Chrome. But your way seems easier.

Don't know of any tutorial, but, to open a .GFX file that have already been provides. the only thing to do is to associate the file type to JPEXS and double click it. or, right click and open with, after that, in the used software, "Either JPEXS or Adobe Flash pro" just navigate to the element you want to change or edit.... be aware that most elements in the UI are shared across many files, and changing one is not gonna work. in fact it can make the game go into an endless loading scene.
I don't know exactly what you want to edit, maybe if you are a bit more specific, i could give some more advise.
I have modded sims 4 ui to manage households and lots to 100 sims without problem, that's been more than 1 and 1/2 years ago.
Made it possible to have created households with child sims only....
So anything is possible, but for what i read, you just want to edit visual elements... Am i correct?

Usually the are various layers, but should all be in the same file, so in the same folder.
Did you exported to FLA?

If you don't mind me asking: What exactly do you want to change in the UI?
Changing UI elements is not the same or as simple as making a recolor using an automated tool such as for example SIMS4Studio.

The easy way to to grab them I know. See Image > Export sprite and shape, edit, and replace by edited versions.
The UI is composed by several elements/layers spread across many files.

Everything is editable, Buttons backgrounds, zones / NH , lot shape, etc...

Forgot to say, that not every image/texture is within the flash part, most is in the fullbuild packages
