What needs to go where to make AM work

Anyway, I was lurking for a reason, and will not pester you with all this off-topic-ness.
I think the bigger problem here is that you've interrupted yet another oconnor-Silent Dreamer-Wizard Merlin threesome. They won't know whose turn it is in a moment. Postus interruptus. This could be bad for their health.

Sorry, I followed instructions very carefully, I know how to use a computer, I am not a noob, but my game CTDs at 12:59 am on the second night every time.
I have the d3dx9_31.dll file in both directories (as directed by coconnor, in any case having this file in one directory only doesn't work either) and I tried all of the following at different times:
placing the framework (Resource.cfg file and Mods>Packages folders) in The Sims 3
placing the framework (Resource.cfg file and Mods>Packages folders) in The Sims 3 World Adventures
Placing Resource.cfg in both directories as wizard_merlin suggested.
Aaand I delete the ScriptCache file every time.
Maybe the problem is that I'm playing on a Mac, or maybe (I know I'm going to get bashed for this!) it's the AwesomeMod, or maybe it's the CC I have in my game. I took all the hacks out but have furniture and CAS items installed as Sims3Packs. I that case, if I have to choose I'd rather have nice furniture than awesomeness, and I'll just wait and keep trying with future updates.
Oh... and go ahead, call me whatever, if it amuses you.
wizard_merlin:
Debating what sort of response to give here.
Be nice or let fly. I guess 12.59am isn't quite the 1am crash.
Try the latest AM, you have an OLD bug which Pescado believes has been fixed. Make sure you ARE in fact downloading the latest AM, and not some archaic, ancient, long dead and buried version of AM which your fucking browser has cached for you. After installing delete the 4 cache files in the documents section, and you should be good to go.
alexpilgrim:
Well, I'm glad you chose the positive response... ;)
OK, I deleted the cache from my browser I'll re-download (the file info states it was created today at 0:23 though) and follow your instructions.
Thanks! :)
(edit to say: re-downloaded AM, file info states created today at 4:53, keeping my fingers crossed)
sanscript:
Ok, I've been having the same problem as alexpilgrim; I'm also on a Mac. I just re-downloaded framework and awesome mod and installed them after clearing my internet cache.
In my The Sims 3 Directory:
Resource.cfg
Mods>Files>DDFMap.txt
Mods>Files>Resource.cfg
Mods>Packages>awesome.package
Mods>Packages>rtfm.txt (Base game version 1.7.9)
Game>Bin>d3dx9_31.dll
In my The Sims 3 World Adventures Directory:
Resource.cfg
Mods>Files>DDFMap.txt
Mods>Files>Resource.cfg
Mods>Packages>awesome.package
Mods>Packages>rtfm.txt (Base game version 1.7.9)
Game>Bin>d3dx9_31.dll
See my correct file placement in a later post if you want to try what I did.
I tried to run the game without the awesome.package and rtfm.txt in the Sims 3 World Adventures directory, and when that didn't work I put them in. My Mods>Packages files now look identical in each directory.
Scriptcache has been deleted.
When I try to start my game, I'm now getting an "Unknown Error" message ??? Help?
And yes, I understand that I'm a moron. I'm fully aware of how inept I am at this simple task of placing folders in the correct places.
Other important info: I do have other mods, including indie stone (installed using the instructions here, awesome mod IS my core mod as far as I'm aware)
