Could someone please help a demented senior: It's been quite a long while since I played Sims 3 and now I decided to give a go with Ambitions. I got the new Awesome mod, and some other mod updates, but even though I one by one took all the others out of my \Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Ambitions\Mods\Packages folder Awesome mod still keeps telling me I have a mismatching core mod. I can't for the life of me remember where else could a conflicting mod be. I'd really appreciate some assistance!
Check the "How to Install Awesome Mod and Framework" thread by coconner for an update on file placement with Ambitions.

Great tip, thanks! I thought I already did all that stuff, but read through the whole thread again with some thought and made a few tests: in the end moving the Resource.cfg file into the Mods folder as SJActress suggests did trick. Life is still a learning experience. :P
Anyhoo, ach schweetness, now I get to play me game again, many thanks!
Edit: Except that the reason it stopped nagging is that the mod isn't working. I earlier just tested enough to see that the error doesn't pop up but now that I went to play the mod is a no show. So back to seeking a working configuration. It seems to be about time I get back to Sims 3, I apparently have forgotten most of the mod using knowledge I used to have.

@Krevetti:
I get it working with a mix out old and new. Do the framework in old days time resource in main game and EP and the d3dx9_31.dll in the Game/Bin folder of base game and EPs. And than make an Mods folder in your own documents/ElectronicArts/Sims3 folder and copy in the resource.cfg
Than you could make the package folder and there you could make the folders for Misc, Hacks, Skins and Patterns.
I had tried round about two hours for get ambitous running with mods by this way.
Old style or new style alone doesn't work for me. I hope I could help you a little bit.
But now I have to ask for help myself: ???
How can I get away the message, that my awesome mod would expire tonight?
I had two months no time to play or go online, because I had an new job to do. So I updated my mods after installing AMB. Even awesomemod. When I tried to start my game, it said I had to patch my game because of old content awesome couldn't run. So yesterday I patched and I could play, after I getting the mods running. Today I get the news of expiring tonight. So I redownload awesomemod and aweconf (sure is sure) deleted scriptcache.package and reinstalled awesomemod and aweconf, but the message still appears. What in a heaven of **** had I made wrong? Please help, I love this mod really. :'(

Nothing's wrong. It's just an expiration warning. I am performing final tests on the next build to be released shortly that will stop the warning, and bring new fixes and updates.

I swear you guys make my head hurt.
Delete any stray resource.cfg files you may have in My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/ and any of it's subfolders. Basically do a recursive search if you know what that is.
Then get this and run it. It will setup your game with the proper directory locations and the correct resource.cfg in the correct place. Additionally, the Custom Launcher from granthes will also check for the correct framework setup and install it if necessary.
Now if you get a message about an incorrect version or a core mismatch it does not mean you should go moving your resource.cfg around. :P If you get that message your resource.cfg is fine. It means you either need to patch your games or you need to get updated versions of mods you are using (Awesomemod, Twallan's etc) to work with your updated version of the game.
If you don't know if you are patched or not and would rather not mess with the craptastic EA launcher get this patch downloader utility from Mod the Sims. It automatically finds the correct patches for your version and region of the game and its expansions and then prompts you to download and install them. It's basically idiot proof.
Also be aware any time there is a patch that you will need to patch if you want to continue using Awesomemod. You will also need to update Awesomemod and really should be doing so on a fairly regular basis since it gets updated a lot.
Be aware that many of Twallan's mods have been updated for the patch and that those updates, like the one for Awesomemod, are not optional if you want the game to continue functioning correctly with those mods.
And lastly, it bears repeating that custom content can cause problems too even if it hasn't in the past. Don't always point the finger at mods. Yes your 120 slight variations on the same emo hairstyle from Peggy, Rose and Raon can potentially fuck up your game if EA patches something and it leaves them with old references.
