I have a vague idea what may cause this, and it's an EAxian issue. Send the save you have of BEFORE you lose your count and I will experiment on it.
Thanks very much for having a look at the file. I've sent you the link to the file download via PM.

I don't want to be one of "those" people, but no matter what I do, I can't get this damn thing to work. I got a new computer and I've reinstalled Sims 3 + the high end loft stuff pack + world adventures. I have followed the instructions stickied at the top of this forum to the letter at least 10 times and still, it's not working for me. It's highly likely I'm doing something wrong somewhere because the instructions in the thread are stickied for a reason but I just can't figure out where it is I'm going wrong. Here's what I'm doing.
- As the thread says, I've grabbed the framework zip and copied the files from there into each game's directory (Sims 3, Loft Stuff and WA)
- Downloading and installing a new version of awesomemod and copying it into the sims 3 directory, then right clicking/install to sims 3
- copied the resource cfg file into the main Sims 3 directory.
I load up the launcher and it still whines about there not being a CD, which if AwesomeMod was working, it wouldn't do. So I moved the resource.cfg file to the WA directory along with AwesomeMod itself and still the same. I have no idea what it is I'm doing wrong. Perhaps the only possibility I can think of is that my game now has something like 6 resource.cfg files after doing it the way the thread tells you to (there's one in the mods/files directory in the framework as well as in the root directory) and that's messing things up somehow, OR I'm copying over the wrong file - the thread isn't exactly specific about which one you have to copy which is odd since the framework adds two. Seriously, I have no idea and something tells me it's just me being a doofus about some part of this process that's making it so difficult. I'd appreciate any help you guys can give me, and I'm sorry if this is a super retarded question. I know you must get it all the time.
EDIT: Holy shit, I really am retarded. I'd already installed the framework and I was trying to do the manual installation of it form the thread on top of that. Please disregard my stupidity >.>

I had a fresh install, including World Adventures and Ambitions (first time I'd installed Ambitions). Updated my game, grabbed the newest version of AM and was good to go. The game loaded and I was able to play no problems.
Next day, I open my launcher and there was another update. I checked the EA website for the date and saw it was before the latest AM update, and also checked the version number next to that listed on the AM download thread. They matched so i ran the update and went to load the game. It gets to the screen with the load bar and does nothing. I have the spinning circle and the bar doesn't move atall.
It's definitely the AM causing the issue, as the game works if I remove it.
Now obviously I can reinstall and just not install the offending update (4.2.32), but I wanted to try here first to see if there was an alternative.
Posted here as it's not really a 'bug'.
As I say, I never managed to install Ambitions before a couple of days ago so don't know if this would have been an issue if I'd been updating as I went along. Also making an assumption it's not an install error on my part regarding framework etc as it worked before the EA update. And it all fails even on Vanilla. No CC or anything.

Looks like framework failure. The strange thing is, the game loaded fine before. I think maybe you accidentally deleted the framework files. You may run Delphy's Sims 3 Dashboard from MTS. It checks whether you installed framework properly or not.
