*facepalm*
It says right where you make the config file where it goes. Go read it. Hint: Where you have it isn't it.

Copy the Resource.cfg file and paste the copy into The Sims 3 directory, but not into Mods>Packages.
Ermm, according to the coconnor who made the tutorial for framework to get awesomemod to work, the cfg file is supposed to be in the Sims 3 directory, exactly where I have latest version of awesomemod. Maybe you can give me another hint!!!!
The Resource.cfg file is not the awesome mod config file. I just reread your complaint. You're talking about awesome mod config issues, so clearly you are not working with the Resource.cfg file anymore. They are completely different files and go in completely different places and you can find the location for EACH of these on this forum in the stickied topics. That's as specific as I'm getting. Now go read.
I knew that and no I'm not talking about resource.cfg but the awesomemod config tool which allows the configurations of awesomemod to be saved. I have saved my config tool settings to where Pes says in the same directory as the awesomemod which is currently in Sims 3 directory. So in spite of reading stickies still don't know where I should have these files to update the config file. I have WA installed so working with 2.3 patch. As that was your last hint, Silent Dreamer, maybe somebody else could help me.

Read the stickies. You're doing it wrong. I really cannot believe you are having so much difficulty following a few simple steps. If that doesn't work, I suggest you return your computer to the shop, in the time honoured manner, and tell them you are too stupid to own it.

Also, I did not do this but now I have a mods/ files folder in my World Adventures folder that has the resource file in it.

As helpful as ever, I see, Witch. True to name, true to character.

1. Copy the framework files into both the base game and the expansion directories. The paths should be something like C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 and C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/World Adventures. Leave the empty files in both locations. Check - did that.
2. Copy the d3dx9_31.dll file into the Game>Bin folder of both the above directories. Leave those files in both. Check - did that.
3. Download a new copy of AwesomeMod, unzip it and copy the AwesomeMod file first into The Sims 3 directory. Check - did that. But there seems to be a phrase missing here because it says 'first' implying that there is a next step in point 3.
4. Copy the Resource.cfg file and paste the copy into The Sims 3 directory, but not into Mods>Packages. Um, the resource config file is already in the Sims 3 directory as per point 1 as it is part of the framework file.
5. Try the game to see if it works. You can tell if AwesomeMod is being recognized by typing Ctrl-Shift-C to bring up the command console and then typing "showconfig". If it is recognized you will see 4 pages of detail about how your personal copy of AwesomeMod is configured. Typed in showconfig, saw 3 pages of detail but all set to default not as I saved it.
6. If that does not work, then take AwesomeMod out of the The Sims 3/Mods/Packages file and paste it into the World Adventures/Mods/Packages folder. Cut the Resource.cfg file from The Sims 3 directory and paste it into the World Adventures directory (but again, not in Mods>Packages). Really confused by this one as nowhere does it say above to put Awesomemod into the Packages file, yet it is telling me to take it out of the packages file ???. Then here in point 6 it says not in Mods>Packages file - well it isn't there. It's in Sims 3 Directory as per instruction.
7. Run the game again and repeat the other instructions in Step 5.
If you are using any sub-folders in your Mods>Packages files, change your Resource.cfg file to read as below:
Priority 500
DirectoryFiles Mods/Packages/... autoupdate
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*/*.package
Really fucking confused about the instructions above.
Okay, in spite of instructions above, I installed an updated awesomemod + configuration tool in Sims 3 directory and also in packages file. Now my config tool is updated, yay. But much worse, now my lots and roads are blue. This sucks big time. Is it awesomemod causing the problem or something else?

Just a quick note, anyone who quotes Donnie Darko in a Sims 3 mod rules!
