I am not a hacker or modder but I got my CC to work. What I did was I copied my resource.cfg files to my desktop. I had 2, I have always had 2 and I have no idea why or how, but my CC has been working so why change what ain't broke?
BACK UP!! your DCCache, your Mods folder, saves, and resource.cfg files.
Copy your resource.cfg file/s to your desk top.
To edit your resource.cfg you have to change .cfg to .txt and say okay when the computer yells at you.
Just copy and paste this into your resource.txt
Priority 500
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.dbc
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.dbc
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*.dbc
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*.dbc
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*/*.dbc
Click save and then rename the file back to resource.cfg. Place it back in your Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/ World Adventure folder.
I have another resource.cfg file in my Mods folder/Files. I made it look like this:
Priority 500
DirectoryFiles Mods/Files/... autoupdate
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.dbc
I have no idea if I need it, so skip this if you do not have one there.
Then I copied my files in my DCCache folder into the Misc folder under Mods. I have no idea if I need to delete the DCCache, I didn't and things were working well.
I will update this if people tell me it is wrong, but my game is working, my CC is showing up, I do not lag horribly and my load times are about the same as before.
I was following this tutorial and as easy as it was to change the cfg to a txt... it wouldn't revert back to a cfg. It would remain a txt file despite the cfg exetnsion seeing as how I could not access the txt ending. Is there some other way I can open it to alter this? I tried to play around in properties, but no luck so far.
