What needs to go where to make AM work

Yeah, that's pretty much how I got intimately familiar with this stuff too. "Oh, that doesn't work? Let's go read up on it and see what I can try..."
Of course, I'm like this with everything.

I figure I should update you guys, since you've been kind enough to give me several tips and suggestions. I reinstalled the base game and WA again, then refused to update. I unchecked the custom content box in the launcher. The game ran fine. I've now just installed the latest EA patch and it looks like my game is going to launch correctly. If it does, I'm going to try to install Awesome Mod again.
Second update: Ok, the patch installed correctly. I'm about to add in framework and Awesome Mod. Just to clarify, should I have the DDFMap.txt in Mods>Files? Or should I not even Have a Mods>Files folder at all? Nevermind, figured it out. I deleted the Mods>Files folder.
Third Update: YAY! Awesome Mod is installed and working. Now I'm just terrified of putting my custom content from EA back in the game, since that is apparently what was causing my game to fail at life.
I guess the silver lining to this is that I'm now intimately familiar with my Sims files, so I should never have a problem installing Awesome Mod again :P
Glad to hear it's finally working for you. Seems you had to go through a lot to get it to work properly!

You can say that again, I'll admit it was frustrating! But hey, it all worked out in the end and I feel smarter. Thanks so much for helping me, I really appreciate it ;D
I still have not received a response on EA's forums about the problems I was having. Actually, I asked if they had any suggestions when they ignored my post to help someone who posted after me, and they deleted that reply. I guess they don't like it when you rub their noses in the fact that they have no idea how to fix the messes they help make. I'll definitely stick around here for my Sims needs, clearly you guys know what you're doing!

Do you really need that Read The Fucking Manual, RTFM, file in there?
I don't think the game needs to read the instruction how to install custom contents.
The instructions in there is for you to read but is now outdated after WA.

No, you don't need the RFTM in the framework files.
