What needs to go where to make AM work
coconnor:
Thanks for that, Wizard Merlin! Yes, I simplified and put it in a numbered list, as many people couldn't get it in paragraph form. And yes, it works.
That being said, one would hope that people will then take responsibility for knowing where the actual package files are working for them and continue to place any new ones in those same folders without duplicating them. One would think that would go without saying. In any event, Pescado locked the thread and I am sure he reviewed the information before doing that. So, I have to believe that this is okay. It works for me and has also worked for others who have followed these directions. Of course, I moved the entire framework, but with some people that extra step has proven to be just too much.
wizard_merlin:
I guess time will tell. As always, there will still be those that manage to screw everything up, and fail to understand how hard it is to solve problems when you can't see them.

Uhm, fill free to poke me with flaming pointy sticks if what I did was wrong, but I did the easy n00b thing and just copied my mods folder somewhere else, deleted the mod folder in the Program Files location, and re-installed the Helper Monkey from Delphy at MTS.
Then re-installed Awesomemod and Awesomemod config and the game seems to be working fine...
I have a feeling that might be easier to follow than the instructions you've been copying-pasting which IS simplified, I know, but when I did it I messed up somehow. Looking back I think I just put a "/" at the end of the .resource file instead of "*" but reinstalling the Helper Monkey thing just seemed so much simpler. I was afraid since the last update WAS June 25th, but I just assumed the major issue was simply the mods folder thing?
If I just did a VBT please let me know, but so far I haven't had any problems. I just thought that the ignorant people like me would think it easier to go to MTS and install the Helper Monkey. Or maybe put that in your locked thread as an option? (If it is...)
Lurkmoar.
EDIT/Offtopic: Just wanted to add, I've seen how much harder you've been with some of the dumber folks wizard_merlin, and I commend you. Deleting their threads would be nice, but I'm sure someone will do that in due time. It's good to know there's a tiny part of the internet that actually flames the dumbfucks, and not the other way around. Additional lurkmoar.
coconnor:
No, one would think this would work, but people have complained about that as well. It seems we have encountered many, many people with an inability to follow directions. Then again, once the new patches started to be released and the expansion pack as well, it became slightly more complicated as placement of the actual package files was not working for all people in the same way. Why this is, I have no idea. However, the directions that have been given, when followed exactly, do work.
Do you have the expansion pack installed? If so, may I ask where the installer monkey installed the framework files?
immortelleMuse:
Ah... that must be the main problem... I have just the Basegame patched to 1.7.9. I'm still pondering whether or not to get WA.
If I do, I'm sure your explicit instructions would be better than the Installer Monkey method... but it just seems I just put the files into the WA folders as well as the Sims 3 folders. Doesn't seem that difficult.
I've only been reading threads about 1.7.9, sorry to be so close-minded about the WA thing. Perhaps Delphy could just do a separate install for WA?; though I know he doesn't take requests, and this is MATY not MTS.
But from the words of Ron White: You can't fix stupid.
I'll see how I'll fare when I get WA. Sorry to bother...
