You are adding your full directory to files (*/C:\Users\Brett\Desktop\Server\logs), Sphere already set as base dir the directory it's inside, so if you have spheresvr.exe inside 'C:\Users\Brett\Desktop\Server\' and WorldSave=save/, it will automatically read WorldSave dir as 'C:\Users\Brett\Desktop\Server\save\'.

For muls you might want to locate the uo installation directory and place it in MulFiles (removing the // before it and the 'mul/') to have something like 'MulFiles=C:\Users\Brett\Desktop\Game\' or wherever the UO is located.

what is a "mul" file specifically?

Mul files are what the UO client uses to load in map assets, item assets, and anything else that might be needed for it to operate.
