If you insist on using the Launcher to install Sims3pack the same way you could before patching to 1.8/2.3, here's how to do it:
5. Resource.cfg will need to be changed so it can find .dbc files in the DCCache of your saved game folder. Since Resource.cfg doesn't support spaces, you will need to use the DOS equivalent path.
For example, my DCCache path is: "c:\Users\Shawn\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCCache". Its DOS equivalent path is "c:\Users\Shawn\DOCUME~1\ELECTR~1\THESIM~1\DCCache"
The only way I'm aware of to find the DOS short folder names is with "dir /x" at the command prompt.

Hello. I just wanted to double check the path to the Resource.cfg that needs to be edited. Is it the Resource.cfg located in 'C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3'
or the Resource.cfg located in 'C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin'
I read this post:
For the record, when you say to edit the Resource.cfg file, you are referring to the one in the bin/"working_launcher" folder, correct? I went to run my game (I used the binary file from my install disc) and it didn't have anything installed, even the original neighborhood wasn't there. I was previously using the fix where I copied my .dbc files into TS3WA\Mods\Packages and placed an edited Resource.cfg in the Program Files\Electronic Arts\TS3WA. I am assuming I need to clear out all that for this to work, but I am afraid I might be in a little over my head right now.
No, I didn't even know there's a Resource.cfg in the Bin folder that you copied to make a "working_launcher" folder. The correct Resource.cfg to modify is the one in the TS3WA folder. You don't have to clear out anything from Resource.cfg. Just create a new entry pointing to the DCCache folder in your "My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCCache". This is where you need to get the short DOS filenames because spaces aren't allowed.
But since I don't own World Adventures, I just wanted to confirm which Resource.cfg to modify. Thanks in advance for your kind consideration and thank you for these instructions!
