Awesomod discussion/questions/helpful tips thread
phnxflyng:
This sounds... well, awesome.
So, I hope you'll explain a couple of things to a peasant (me).
What is a hack framework (it's required--what is it? is it related to ".NET Framework 3.5", which is a requirement for Install Helper Monkey? and I don't know what that is either). I know this is probably basic. I've lurked and read every post on the Awesomemod and I can't figure some of this stuff out. XML? (I see this one a lot... it's probably obvious :-[ )
The Install Helper Monkey also states in its description on MTS "Please note that this overwrites any existing Resource.cfg file in the Sims 3 root folder." Should I care about this?
Sorry to ask stupid questions, but I want to learn!

Don't worry about all that. Just download the monkey installer then run that. Everything will be all set up for you. Then download awesomemod and double click it. It will install it for you. Then double click on it again and you should get an error message saying the file was already installed. If you get that then you should be good to go. (repeat for the aweconfig.package as well if you want to customize awesomemod) load up the sims. Play your neighborhood. Then open up the console (ctl-shift-c) and type in "showconfig". If you get a popup window listing all the awesomemod features... it is running correctly in your game.
After that, if you ever want to update awesomemod with a newer version you will have to delete the old awesomemod and the old aweconfig.package
If you can't find them... then just double click on the awesome.package that you downloaded and you'll get that error message again which tells you where it was installed previously. After you delete those files double click on the new ones to have them installed.
It is as easy as that. And no, don't worry about the monkey installer overwriting the resource.cfg That only really pertains to people who have manually installed mods and made their own resource.cfg

This is the folder route:
Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Framework > Mods > Packages > Awesome
Is this correct? Should awesomeMod work?
No, it's not correct, and the mod (nor any other mod) will work whatsoever.
I strongly recommend you to use this installer, expecially if you didn't install anything else before. Shameless self-promotion, but really, explaining how to do it manually every time is a hassle.

Is editme supposed to be gone from the latest version? I tried it out and am getting an unknown command response.
I don't want to put this in the bug thread in case it's a feature.
It is now editsim
I tried this command too and got the same "unknown command" message. What exactly did I have to wirte into the commandline and from where, household with sim selected, neighborhood?
Thx and Greetz

With a sim selected. (not in CAS or anywhere like that)
Do any of the other commands work for you? It is possible you don't have awesomemod installed correctly. Try typing in "showconfig" and see if that works. (no quotes)
