AwesomeMod Configuration File Not Working
ambivalentme:
I have searched through all of the AwesomeMod posts and then expanded my search to all of the Sims 3 forums on MATY and, although my issue was mentioned before WA was released, it has not been, as far as I can tell, mentioned since.
Here are all the steps I have taken since I purchased WA.
After reading the posts regarding WA and the subsequent patches, I decided to go for a clean install of the game and update through the launcher to 2.2.8. After that, I installed the framework listed in the Armoire of Invincibility and installed only AwesomeMod; no other mods, patterns, clothing, hair, etc. The only files in my Packages folder were awesome.package and aweconf.package. The game ran perfectly using the Awesome Story Driver, no fatal errors, no crashing. I was having a lot of fun going through all the new features of the game and then I realized that the options I chose in the config tool were not working (Hand of God, etc). I pulled up "showconfig" and found that everything was at the default settings. So I closed the game, went to the config tool, ‘reloaded page & cleared changes', and reselected all my settings. I installed the file and ran the game again. When I pulled up the config, it again was set to the default settings. That is when I started my search. I read that I could try deleting the cookies manually and try again, so I did just that. I then installed a "fresh" copy of the config file, started the game again, and pulled up the config. Once again, all the settings were set to default.
Since I was having no success troubleshooting my problem myself, I decided to wait until WA AwesomeMod was updated a few times so that El Presidente could work out more EAxian bugs, thinking that, that might be where my problem lies. I doubted that it was an EAxian problem being that it was a "simple" XML tweak file, but what would a lurking peasant like me know?
After 2.3 was released, and after reading the posts about it, I decided I'd try the test version of AwesomeMod for 2.3. I patched the game, without issues, and installed the 2.3 AwesomeMod. I deleted my cookies manually again and downloaded another config with my settings. Again, these are the only files in my Mod folder. I brought up the config in the game and it still is set to the default settings.
Is there anything else that I could do to try and fix my game so the config file works? Yes, I know that I can change the settings manually in the game, and if I only had a few personal preferences that wouldn't be a problem. I suppose I could do that anyways and keep the game open. Thank you.

Freezerburn:
Do you put the aweconf.package file to the same directory you install AM?
ambivalentme:
Yes, both files are in the Packages folder.
coconnor:
Are you deleting the four cache files located in My Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>World Adventures? You should do that and then try re-doing your AweConfig file and downloading again. Deleting those regularly is helpful, especially in cases where you are having problems like these.
You also don't mention if you are on a PC or a MAC, and if on PC, what operating system?

The screenshot appears to be a PC with Vista, though it might be Win7.
