Hacks and mods just not working - polite request for help from a lurker
Sita:
Thank you Jordi. I looked at the Resource.cfg files, didn't move them. Moved all my packages into the root folder Mods\Packages - so they aren't so easy to sort but at least both AM and the computer work fine now. Many thanks to all for advice. See, it doesn't hurt to be moderately nice to people occasionally.

Hey Sita...I applaud your bravery but I'm not sure how anyone expects one to get answers if one never asks questions, correct? ???
I just thought I'd let you know that I too am running service pack 3 with no problems. You can open your resource.cfg file with notepad and it should look as follows:
Priority 500
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*/*.package
If not you should download a new one. This is the resource.cfg in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 (or whatever your directory is). Then you should be able to put hacks in the hack folder if you like. I put AM directly in the Packages folder, I have a folder called NRaas for Twallan's cool stuff and all my other mods are in the Hacks folder. I have subfolders in my Misc, Build, and Skins folders and everything works great.
Hope something here might help.

Some creators are including resource.cfg files in their compressed files. You should check the contents of what exactly extracted before dumping it your folders. Extract .rar/.zip to a desktop folder and manually place them. That way nothing that you don't know about should sneak in.

Wow, I'm impressed with the ability for everyone to work together to solve this problem.
But seriously, do what GTA Champion is saying. That'll make life much easier (and more organized).

@jordi,
Is it necessary to reinstall the framework to amend the resource.cfg file for the contents to properly work? I just manually edited, closed, saved and went on about my business. Is impending disaster looming on the horizon?
