Random Crash to Desktop

ItchyNScratchy: Fair enough. I couldn't tell from your post what you had already tried, and thought it might have been a case of search fail. Bits of this problem do sound familiar from my lurkings, but since I've been lucky in not having very many issues, anything beyond the very, very obvious is beyond my experience. Therefore, I leave you to the tender mercies of the More Awesome.

myskaal:
Just my recommendation, insure that you have no corrupted files floating about: Completely uninstall. Delete everything. Run CCleaner.

Reinstall and patch.

Follow these instructions for installing the framework: http://sublimesims.net/smf/index.php?topic=1726.0

Drop awesome.package and aweconfig into C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages (unless you specified a different directory for game install, then follow the path as needed).

Come back and let us know if it crashes again.

DMDye:
Also, remember to delete the My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 folder when uninstalling.

"I have the Resource.cfg file in WA and base game. I tried taking it out of the base game and loading, that didn't work. So I just put it back in the base game file. I've got awesome mod in the Hacks portion of WA"

This is pretty much the same as what myskaal wrote, I just put it all here so you can follow step by step.

First of all.. you should only have one Resource.cfg file. This could have been your issue all along. Secondly, you need to have the d3dx9_31.dll in both C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Game/Bin AND C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 World Adventures/Game/Bin. I know that you mentioned you did this, but check again. Now, you need to put your Resource.cfg file in C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 World Adventures. Then, you need to create a folder for your mods in C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 World Adventures -->(created folder: Mods/Packages). Your mods will go here (including AM). So overall, your mods will go in C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 World Adventures/Mods/Packages.

It's really not as difficult or as intimidating as people who come on this forum and complain about it to be. Like I said, follow that step-by-step and AM should run. If it doesn't, double check.. triple check. It could be something as simple as you thinking you put a file somewhere that it isn't. To check and see if AM is installed correctly, hit ctrl + shift + c and type showconfig in the box. Do this when your 'hood is loaded. If you get 3-4 blue pages popping up with settings, then AM is working correctly.

I got this DEP issue on priority list along with inventory.  I was on EA chat with Gavin and Microsoft for 3 hours.  I even threatened to hack SIMS 3 to make it compatible to Win 7 64 Bit.  You need to hack game to make it compatible.
