Try placing the Resource.cfg file into only the Mods>Packages folder in the directory where you actually have the package files. For instance, my Mods>Packages (framework files) which contain the actual package files (and the .dbc files) are in my World Adventures directory. But remember, if you read my "How To Install The Framework & AwesomeMod" stickied thread, that the Resource.cfg file should only be placed within the applicable directory and not within the actual Mods>Packages folders.
I do not have a Resource.cfg file in myTS3 directory, except the one in the Game>Bin folder (which should not be edited). Mine in that location reads (in the event you need to copy & paste it back into yours):
Priority -29
PackedFile UI/UI.package
PackedFile Automation/AutomationData.package
PackedFile Jazz/JazzData.package

Do not edit the resource.cfg files that the game creates unless specifically instructed to do so by someone like Pescado. The one you edited appears to be correct and should (again) be only in the directory which contains the framework files that actually contain the package files.
Also, as a point of interest, all my content is installed and working, but before I reinstalled and patched, I had removed my Downloads folder to my desktop and simply replaced all the files afterward into the Downloads folder created in the new install. Everything is there and everything shows up in game. The only problem I've had is that new store items (such as the Santa hats) do not install with the launcher. Third party Sims3packs install just fine with the launcher.

Hate to say it, coconnor, but it was a no go.
I deleted the Resource.cfg out of the TS3 folder and left it in the WA folder, but alas I am still stuck with no arred content. *plants face into desk*
I'm thinking that I have 2 options; 1) uninstall, reinstall, and only patch up to 2.2.8 or, 2)use Delphy's tool to extract the sims3packs to .packages. I'm afraid to do that second part though because of all the reports of it causing the game to start up super slow and lag horribly. :(
coconnor:
What Resource.cfg did you have in your TS3 folder? Was it the one you created and posted the content of? Or did you edit the one in the TS3>Game>Bin folder? You need the resource.cfg file created by the game in that folder, and the content should read as I posted in my last post. If you edited that one (in Game>Bin) and subsequently deleted it, you will need to recreate it.
Where are your mods now? In WA? If so, the Resource.cfg, which you downloaded with the framework (or via Delphy's Installer Monkey) was supposed to be edited to read as you have it, i.e.:
Priority 500
DirectoryFiles Mods/Packages/... autoupdate
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.dbc
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.dbc
must also be in the WA directory, but not within the Mods>Packages folder. Make sure you moved the Resource.cfg with the Mods>Packages folder. If that does not work, I'm not sure what you're doing wrong.
Is your launcher working? Had you deleted your downloads before reinstalling & patching? Or did you just move them? When presented with the option to retain your custom content and saved games, did you save it or did you wipe it all out? I did not delete them, but backed them up to the desktop just in case and opted to save them. I think that's why mine is working. You could try reinstalling the content that is not working via the launcher. Mine works if I use the TS3 base game icon to start the launcher. The WA one does not work well. I have not converted any Sims3packs to package, but I have not had to.

I still have the original game Resource.cfg in the TS3/Game/Bin file. It is unedited and looks exactly like the one you posted earlier as a reference.
The one I edited was the one that came with the framework.
My mods are in the WA folder, so that's where I have the edited Resource.cfg file. Just to be clear I have 2 edited Resource.cfg files (I'm pretty sure that's what I read in this forum, but I may have been mistaken). One is in the WA folder and the other is in WA/Mods/Files folder.
My launcher seems to be working. I don't get any error messages or anything except when I try to install sims3pack files. Then I just take my Mods folder out of the WA folder temporarily, install the sims3pack files, and move it back in. The Launcher installs third party sims3packs just fine, but not my arred store content. It says that it installs it, and it shows up in the "Installed Content" section of The Launcher, but after I start the game up it just kind of disappears.
When I uninstalled, I just dragged and dropped my Downloads folder (out of users/electronic arts/sims 3) onto my desktop. When it asked me to delete everything I said ok because I already had it moved out of the directory. I wonder if you're right and that's why yours is working and mine is not. Hmm :-\
Did I cover everything you asked?
