I can't get some hairs and clothes I downloaded to show up in Ambitons. I've no idea where to put the files. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

There is good information on how to set up the Mods folder and the Resource.cfg at
http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=3184333#post3184333
. Take the framework (.dll) out of Programs/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Game/Bin folder and follow the instructions in the link. Worked for me.

I'm a little confused... how do I create a Resource.cfg file? That link isn't much help. I'm not that computer savvy, Please tell me what to do.

I guess I am being nice tonight, cause I would normally tell you to search for the information. Has been covered here numerous times and that is how I learned to make the Resource.cfg file. I don't like holding hands so try to grasp this.
Bring up notepad from your accessories folder. Copy the information from Jonha's post about what goes in the resource.cfg and paste it to notepad. Save as Resource.cfg and the file will show as Resource.cfg.txt. Right-click the file and click rename, drop the .txt and you will have the correct file. Move to the new Mods folder in Documents~The Sims 3.
Okay, I have done my good deed for the day. In the future, read the FAQ and when you need answers, believe me, they have been discussed here numerous times. Just search for it. That's what I do.

Hm, perhaps I was lucky, or I fluked this. When I installed Ambitions tonight, I did not move my Mod's folder at all, infact all I did was delete my AwesomeMod file. I loaded my game and EVERY piece of CC was still in my game, no flaws, no errors, my neighbours did not suddenly appear to have huge piles of blue squares.
Work's wonderfully, all of them show up correctly and clearly. Maybe EA had some sort of hidden agenda with us having them in that specific folder? I don't know makes no sense to me to change something that works already, or am I missing something here?

THAT is great to read! I wonder if that would bypass those damn nag-screens that Pescado and some testers are reporting when starting up Ambitions since the patching? Did you get any unusual nags about mods? Have you tried the AM tester version that's floating around?
I don't mind keeping my framework and current file configuration if it means that things still run smoothly. Can anyone state some
benefits
associated with the new folder setup that EA is proposing?

Everything in the MyDocs folder shows up with a custom content icon and is sortable with the "Show only custom content" filter in CAS and Buy/Build mode. CAS items are now also deletable in-game, though objects aren't. I haven't had any trouble with moving my mods so I'll probably keep most of them in the new folder.

Is it possible to run mods from both file locations at once, like in two batches for example?
I would love to see the icon and be able to delete clothing and bad hair (!) in CAS (finnaallyyyy--bye bye skin colored mermaid tail from hell)
but I don't really care to have the screen warnings at startup for AM and xml mods.

My guess is they wanted people to put them there in an effort to cut out AM no-cd option or use, this is tin foil hat thinking, or wanted to hear less bleating about how confused everyone was about mod install.

Absolutely no nag screens at all on my end. Have not tested the new AM yet, I will have a look into it as soon as I get time, currently doing my essay at the moment so really cannot afford to play the sims, just decided to browse this for a second >>
