What needs to go where to make AM work
alexpilgrim:
First of all I'm sorry if I'm being one of those annoying persons who ask the same question over and over, but I'd rather ask for help (yeah, this is supposed to be a community) than try the dozens of different configurations and still not be sure I'm doing it right. I really appreciate coconnor's explanations but somehow I can't figure it out...
I would really be nice if someone would be kind enough to tell me what's wrong, my game used to crash at 1 am, now it doesn't even load, it freezes on the black screen before the EA logo.
So, this is what I have:
The Sims 3>Game>Bin>d3dx9_31.dll
The Sims 3>Mods>Files>DDFMap.txt
The Sims 3>Mods>Files>Resource.cfg
The Sims 3>Mods>Packages>Awesome.package
The Sims 3>Resource.cfg
The Sims 3 World Adventures>Game>Bin>d3dx9_31_dll
The Sims 3 World Adventures>Mods>Files>DDFMap.txt
The Sims 3 World Adventures>Mods>Files>Resource.cfg
The Sims 3 World Adventures>Mods>Packages>CC (no hacks)
The Sims 3 World Adventures>Resource.cfg
I see a lot of Resource.cfg files there, but which ones am I supposed to get rid of?
And if you really want to start dumb-blonde-bashing, go ahead, I'll just assume you don't know the answer either... ;)
Zichi:
There's no need to keep posting in this thread, Coconnor just posted one regarding this issue.
Anyway, The resource.cfg's go in either the WA directory or the base game directory, not both. The d3dx's go in both directories.
alexpilgrim:
Thanks for your help!
coconnor:
From what you've said, d3dx9_31.dll seems to be placed correctly in both directories. (I don't know about the file DDFMAP.txt file, or if it's necessary.) Secondly, there should be no "Mod>Files" - it's "Mods>Packages" only. And, from what you've reported, the Resource.cfg file is within the The Sims 3>Mods>Files (or) Packages - this is incorrect. It should be simply in The Sims 3. I have no Mods>Files whatever, in either directory and mine works.
The same information would apply to what you've reported in the World Adventures directory. So, what I would suggest is to delete the Mods>Files folders from both directories (cut & paste them to your desktop). To start, also remove the Resource.cfg file from your World Adventures directory since you have AweomeMod in the Sims 3>Mods>Packages. Then try your game. If it still does not work, then move AwesomeMod to the World Adventures>Mods>Packages folder and move the Resource.cfg file to World Adventures (not in Mods>Packages). Try the game again.
You seem to have extra files in your set-up.
alexpilgrim:
I was also wondering what the Mods>Files folder was (seamed like an awful lot of files to me), but I installed it because it came with the last framework I downloaded and I didn't know if it had anything to do with WA...
Thanks a lot for your answer (I didn't post in your other thread because you asked it to be locked so I wasn't sure)
