What needs to go where to make AM work
MutantBunny:
no =---intro does work. :) so that's not the problem.
I'm not sure I'm sticking it in the right place! Or if it matters. Where should it be: packages or override or outside with the .cfg file?
I'm not at all sure what you mean--use the shift key?
witch:
Capital letters are made by the shift key. MATYans have a fondness for seeing capital letters both at the beginning of sentences and of proper nouns.
With the framework, the method changed a while back. Initially the framework went in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3. Then it was moved to the 'My Documents' folder. Sometimes people get confused and end up with a half-arsed implementation between the two. All content packages should go in the packages folder, wherever you put your framework.
Personally I still use the original method, no need to change, it works fine. With the method I use, I do have to drop the d3dx9_31.dll into the ...\Game\Bin folder for the basegame and each EP.
Your resource.cfg file should have enough levels that it can see content within sub-folders e.g.
Quote
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*/*.package
And so on.
This is the content of my root folder. You will note the Mods folder.

That being said, AM should go in the same place as the mods that the framework came with. You would know this if you had read the full tutorial I linked to. I'm not sure if the no CD check is enabled from the get go or if you must enabled it via the config file.
MutantBunny:
Ah, capitals it is then. Thank you for the explaantion. I am a terrible typist so I apologize before hand and I do know how to use the edit button. So gald it's there :)
And I can see KT has reached his/her limit for my obvious moronic-ness already. Have to laugh at that...:)
As for the package files and framework etc:
The Mods folder is as it should be for 1.29 .exes--as you show in the pic without the other files you use.... The AM was placed where the no-intro hax was, in packages. Did not work. I have tried it in ALL the above mentioned places, deleting cache files each go. Have tried it with the no-intro and without the no intro in case there is some conflict. Have no idea why it isn't working. I'm missing something somewhere...
Going to redownload the AM AGAIN.... I read the RTFM and as I read it the default is the no CD is enabled. Is that right?
I really really appreciate the help. Please don't give up on me yet?
EDIT: I did two things at once: new AM and put one copy in each place (total of three) lol But it WORKS!! lol. (Gonna guess it was several bad unzips or DLs of the AM?) Whatever, it's working now and I now have my many questions answered (like I wasn't even sure where the thing went! Now I am) So THANK YOU very much! Happy New Year to you.
