Thank you! The instructions from that site did the trick. I bookmarked it so this will hopefully not happen again.
I don't know why the framework.zip from this site wasn't working. It seems very similar.

I'm sorry to be asking stupid questions but I really don't know where I went wrong setting up AwesomeMod. I had it working perfectly fine on my old hard drive.
I recently bought myself a SSD and started fresh, Windows, Sims and everything else.
I extracted framework.zip to Documents > EA > TS3 and awesome.zip into the TS3 > Mods > Packages and deleted scriptcache.package
I thought that's exactly how I did it on my old drive following all the instructions I've read in several places but my Sims game is acting like I never did anything to it at all.
Can anyone tell me what I may have overlooked or should try to make awesomemod work? I have never tried to install any other mods and I downloaded both zip files from this forum.
