Problems trying to import a package

I have the following project structure:

Project |
        |- sim |
        |      |- out |
        |             |- main.py
        |- libs |
                |- __init__.py
                |- plus.py

Inside plus.py there is a function called sum(a,b) that returns the sum of 2 numbers. I'm trying to import the module plus.py into main.py to the able to call this function, however I'm getting the following error: ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package.

Here is the code inside main.py:

from ...libs import plus

a = 1
b = 5

c = plus.sum(a,b)
print(c)

One of the solutions I found is to add the project directory to path, but I'm trying to avoid that.

I'm using VSCode to call python, this could be also a useful information.

What I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Added __init__.py files in sim, out and Project directories as @ThePjot suggested and the error remains. Now the project structure is in the following form:

Project |
        |- __init__.py
        |
        |- sim |
        |      |- __init__.py
        |      |- out |
        |             |- __init__.py
        |             |- main.py
        |- libs |
                |- __init__.py
                |- plus.py

The __init__.py files are empty.
