I put the .package in the Sims 3 directory under program files. where it installs. i use Windows Vista. originally, i just made a mods/packages directory, which didnt work. so i deleted that and did monkey installer, which didnt seem to work. so i uninstalled and added framework, which did not help. I do not know why this is not working. i am following the given instructions.
Everyone who feels the need to be insulting:
Congrats on telling me the basic things I did before I had the problem. I read the manual, i did the custom options, too. the problem i am having is that is not installing correctly for whatever reason. I figured the people on the forum corresponding to the damn mod could give some insight to this problem. forgive me for thinking too highly of you.

My daughter has Vista, and she had to use the TS3InstallHelperUAC.rar. Maybe that will help you, too.

Tever:
Did you write it as "mods/packages"? Because it's case sensitive, as I recall. Try "Mods/Packages" and see if that helps. Minus the quote marks, of course.
snapzit:
Get rid of all the stuff you have downloaded (either put it somewhere else, or delete it) and start fresh. Go back and download the Helper Monkey at MTS. Install it per instructions located on that site.
In Vista, when you download AwesomeMod it will save the file in your downloads. Open the downloads file and drag and drop the AwesomeMod file onto your desktop. Right click on the zip, rar, or whatever other file compressor you are using. It will ask questions like "extract to..."
Select "here". This extracts the file onto your desktop. If you have properly installed the Helper Monkey, you can now simply double left click on the extracted Awesome file (it will have the little monkey face) and it WILL install to the proper directory. You will also have to download and install the configuration tool so you can set the options you want the mod to do in your game. You will also note there is another text file called RTFM. Do it.

and the problem is solved. i actually forgot there was a second file. thanks for bringing that up. after downloading that, i did everything as i had done it before, and it worked. strange that putting both the files provided in a Mods/Packages file wouldnt work, but oh well. thank you for your help.
