well it worked, and odd note, my edits fail(No edited post appears, just sends me back to first page)

In my defense, the last time i played sims was quite a while back, when it was better overall to just drop all package files into the mydoc/blahbha/sim3 folder rather than the installs.

Anyways, it works now for the most part (No 30foot gout of flame, or random implosions in the computer room)

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Yes, its there. from the 'sims3/(etc) point in the path, the files are all in the same exact places as they are on my xp system.

What I'm wondering is, should I do it the 'old school' way of putting the mods/packages(and framework and such) in the actual install directory like we had to do way back?

Using latest patch, all expansions and 'stuff' packs, all patched, and I can get a FEW mods to work, but not awesomemod, and none of the 'no censor' patches work. (Improved body textures and such do work though)

Its a new computer, running win7 64bit x86, so am not compleatly sure what ive done wrong.(With xp i had no issues)

Its in the path : C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages, is this the correct path for win7? (all 'working' mods are in this folder, none of them are core, except awm)

I get no errors, no sign its working / not working or anything.

Someone flametroll me and tell me what I did wrong(Am very new to win7 so don't be too harsh )

And all it takes is a little well thought out one liner like this to make you feel better about yourself?

Only took you what, 6 hours to come up with that one?

Your flame-fu is weak.

K fixed the issue(I think) and the 'fix' baffles me.

I basically just reinstalled LN, then patched again. After that it seems to run fine.

( I Have no blithering clue why it worked THIS time and not last, since Absolutely nothing was changed, just fired disk in and 'uninstalled' when it asked, and reinstalled, patched.)

Sarcasm don't translate to text so well


But the truth of it is, most posts on this forum, are old, Some more than a year old.

The 'new' posts on this subforum where we 'should' go for AM help are no different.

Telling someone to search(And really, WHAT do you search to find a decent result?) is just.. stupid. Yet that's pretty much what any of you nimrods do. 'GO AWAY NOOB, SEARCH' when the truth is you prob have no IDEA whats being asked, and just want to test your flamethrowers

And this thread here could solve many of these problems, a simple: Have you checked this or that' ad not in a overly complicated way. No i don't think you should attempt to teach some idiot how to switch his computer on, but you SHOULD understand that not everyone who comes here(hell not even many) would be modders with a full understanding of how modding works.

Truth is, people 'ASK' because they don't WANT to be ignorant anymore. (Well usually, I have to admit, ive seen some pretty stupid questions asked in the past)

(And this tutorial is a lot simpler than the original one, first time I came here back when it was just sims3, it took me 2-3 re-reads to get what to do, this one was a simple, 3 step process)

Oh gee no, I didn't remove anything since the HARD-DRIVE it was installed to burnt out and is at this time, sitting in the trash bin behind me. LOL

It was a complete, fresh install of all the ep's (in order) and updated this morning.

What it WAS(And I knew this before i asked, I just wanted to see if you would catch on, and the search on this forum is junk, can't ever get a decent result) was there is 2 resource.cfg's, one in the root(if u want to call it root) in documents/sims3, and another inside mods. When I removed the one within the mods folder, it fired up fine.(no 'core mismatch' warning) but still froze up when I actually got game loaded and unpaused. Removing the other resource and the package files fixed this(As it removes AM)

And I just LOVE your welcoming attitude (First time posting, but long time reader)

Bit of a question based on this tutorial.


Awsomemod worked fine for me until I got late night, then just wouldn't work at all. So i did fresh install, and followed your instructions here(even though I normally place it in TS3 or the newest expansion pack) and it gives me a pop up now 'non core mismatch' but the game WILL continue to load.

Once loaded and IN a game, as long as im paused, i can use most of the mod, but the second I unpause the game freezes up(music continues to play, etc)

I have 2 questions, Why, first off, is it detecting a 'core mismatch' when awsomemod is the ONLY thing I have installed(following your precise instructions ) and 2: Why is it locking up on unpause.
