Late Night bugs & annoyances

Err, I followed all the steps from the thread someone linked. Now I can't start the game. Instead, I'm getting error code 0x0175dcbb whenever I'm trying to start it. I assumed it might be because Nraas no cd crack doesn't work properly, as it is in the mod folder. (Maybe all my mods stopped working.)
I tried to put the d3dx9_31.dll file back into the bin folders, in case the problem might've come from when I removed 'em. Didn't work tho. :( I tried to google the error code, someone said that the only thing to do is to reinstall the whole darn game. Someone else said that fixing the SKU thing is the solution. Trouble is that I can't seem to find the SKU thing in regedit, when I'm looking for the path that the googled thread was telling me about. It seems weird to me that the SKU numbers should have randomly changed just because of some tinkering with the mods/packages folders.
Is there anything I can do? What have I done wrong? :( I don't want to freaking reinstall the darn thing AGAIN! It feels like I'm spending more time having trouble with bugs and reinstalling/patching/trying to fix the game, than actually playing..
It looks like you're installing the framework in the old, pre-Ambitions way. Follow the second set of instructions in the thread in the AM forum. It's not that hard.

It's not that, you're doing it wrong.

Well, once you learn how to follow instructions you'll have moar time to play the game.

Uh, but I followed the instructions from the second post?
I removed all my downloads, the .dll file and resourcefiles. Then I made a new map for all my packages and downloaded the new resourcefile in the post, and put it in my mods folder. Tried to start the game, but got the 0x0175dcbb error. Tried to put back the .dll file in case that was the problem, and it didn't work.
Wasn't that what the post told me to do?

Okay, I have come across two errors ever since I installed Night Life Late Night (I keep calling this game Night Life without even noticing it :D).
1. For one, it is extremely difficult to make my Sim happy. She may have a bunch of positive moodlets, such as great sleep, nicely decorated, clean clothing, having a blast, sometimes even all at once, and yet her mood is very red making her "miserable". I might have one or no negative moodlets at all but her mood still plummets. Now her job performance would not go up, she does not want to clean, and neither would she practice her skills.
I went to the official BBS and there were other people having the same problem. Some suggested that it was due to the patch and that it is the cheap beds that are triggering this. But, I tried buying more expensive beds (They are in the $1000 range) and my Sims's mood is STILL very red.
2. Second, we have our dear old friend "Error Code 12." I originally made my entire game vanilla by restarting my user files because this was a big problem in my old game. I can play for fifteen minutes, attempt to save, and this message would show up instead. Then, it began to crash randomly. So I decided to start fresh.
After becoming frustrated with problem number 1, I tried to save and exit and I got the error. However, when I clicked Save As instead it did save successfully - something that would not have worked in my old game.
My first issue is not as horrible compared to the error code. I try to save to avoid the crashes in the first place and I can't even do that ::). As I mentioned before, both of these occured even in my completely vanilla game. Here are my specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.100618-1621)
System Manufacturer: HP-Pavilion

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce 8800 GT
Display Memory: 1779 MB
Dedicated Memory: 499 MB

As far as I know, Error Code 12 is caused by insufficient RAM. The game apparently uses a lot more of it while saving. If you had 8 gigs like me, you wouldn't have this problem (ePeen waving, I know). You've got stellar specs on your machine; I'm really quite surprised you haven't got more RAM. As for issue #1, try getting an even more expensive bed costing at least $2800. The cheaper ones are still considered Kewian-based.
