Hard to write instructions for everyone, you know lowest common denominator and all that...
Therein lies the biggest problem. When you write instructions to cover people who don't even know what, where or how to find their C: Drive, and people who know who to navigate and manipulate their system files, it makes it very hard to know how to explain things in simple to understand language, without making the smarter bunch feel completely stoopid.
As for the files/folders and their locations, that is a problem itself. For whatever reason, some people report/claim that their mods/CC won't work for them in the base game folders, and have to be in WA, and will now start claiming they have to move them all to the HELS folders. As the resource.cfg has to be in the root directory of the game where the mods/cc are installed, I found it a whole lot easier to tell people to duplicate the .dll and the resource.cfg files into all the directories, as this avoids the problem of the resource.cfg, and the mods/packages folders being in different directories. The extra .cfg files doesn't harm the game at all.
While you may think that coconnor's instructions are hard to follow, after they were posted, the number of stoopid, repetitive "How do I install Awesomemod", "I can't get AM to work" or the "How do I install the framework" posts nosedived big time, suggesting that most people found them very easy to follow.
I have my mods/packages in the base game, and everything works nicely.
Feel free by all means to be here and advise everyone of how to set up the framework, and install AM, when the sheeple all start complaining that AM and their mods/CC don't work with HELS, because they haven't expanded the framework.

1.9/2.4/HELS test version available here.
Just thought you'd like to know that everything is working perfectly on my Mac. I know how much you love Mac people. :D

C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 and C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/World Adventures
I have always put all files in both locations, and have not had any issues.

Coconnor's help thread doesn't make any sense. He contradicts himself once or twice and doesn't correctly explain where to put files. I had a much better understanding of modding The Sims 3 game and WA from the wiki...although it's slightly outdated. Coconnor's help thread should seriously be revised so it doesn't read like an idiotic lesson.
And we care about your opinion because....? There are literally dozens of people who got coconnor's fix to work for them and didn't whine about it. They simply said "thank you" and moved right along. Your lack of understanding is not our or coconnor's problem.

Sigh. I think we may have to amend coconnor's help thread for the idiots who can't figure shit out on their own.
Why bother? Even if it was revised or amended as you said, there would still be idiots who wouldn't be able to figure it out. It would be an endless process of editing and revising the instructions for the benefit of morons who don't know how to use the search button for terms they don't understand. I'm not attacking you or anything, I'm just saying that if something is amended once, it's going to have to be done again and again for more stupid people.

I have instructions on installing TS3, WA, Framework all with purty pictures here: http://sublimesims.net/smf/index.php?topic=1726.0
I'll be adding the HELS info today. So if you have issues with Coconners instructions, give these a try. If these fail you, well I don't know what we can do for you.
