Installing female hair mods on The Sims 3 with PeggyZone?

I followed every single step, read it carefully, but my Sims game still doesn't recognize any of my PeggyZone hair mods!

This is the tutorial I used, but it didn't work at all.
http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?titl

I have Windows Vista, and I have downloaded WinRAR.
Please help me!!!!!
I've been reading some threads about this, trying to figure it out!  Here, take a look at what people say.

in this thread
I've tested these hairstyles on multiple computers and under various situations,
such as installing all hairsyles simultaneously, and with lots of patchs/hacks, and together with numerous items from EA STORE
That's from Peggy.  She tested her hair with hacks and stuff from the EA store in the game.
It crashes very often, when i zoom or scroll and the problem started upon installing the new long hair just yesterday. Now I have no hacks that I know of
That's from someone with no hacks...
Yeah my game crash when i use your great hair to. And its a bummer cause i just love it. I dont have any hacks
... and another person with no hacks.

from this thread
no crash in my game...i download all peggy's hairs and skins and EA's items and dozens of hacks, but no crash at all.
Now here's someone with hacks and stuff from the EA store, and the hair works.
None of the new hairs crashed my game. I have about 20 or more hacks
another one with hacks, hair works
i download all these female hairstyle...but they work perfectly....and i've installed EA store's hairs and similar packs
So from what I've read, it looks like Peggy's hair works for people even if they have hacks, and several of these people say they have EA store stuff.  So do people need to have EA store stuff?  If yes, I don't know what EA store stuff people need!  Peggy, please tell us, you tested it, so you know.

OK the first step in setting up the resource.cfg so that mods/new data can be recognized you are going to have to get the resource.cfg from peggy's file

Once you have gotten the resource.cfg extracted it is pretty simple ok now you are most likely asking where does this go I am confused.

I have seen some people put the resource.cfg into C:/My Documents\Electronic Arts/The Sims 3. This is incorrect it does not go there. It goes in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.

What we want to do now is copy the resource.cfg file we just got from peggys file after extracting it and  paste it into C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.

We have now successfully added the resource.cfg!

Now here comes the final step:

Ok now that we have the resource.cfg added to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 you now want to create a Mods Folder in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.

Once you have the Mods Folder created open it up now you want to create a sub-folder called Packages and once that is created we are finished and have successfully completed getting the resource.cfg installed and now mods/new data can recognized by TS3 !

When you download any mods/CC they are to go into C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages

Notes: Once you add the Resource.cfg there is no need to add any additional resource.cfg files.

The reason you see the resource.cfg in a lot of the mods/hacks downloads you download is modders are including these for the down loaders who may not have the resource.cfg.

no EA store stuff is needed! our hairstyles are all independent custom content.

simscrocodile,

So if people have no hacks, and no EA store stuff, the hair should work right?  And all those folks for who the hair works, if they have EA stuff, they could take it out of the game temporarily, and Peggy's hair would still work?  I'm confused about this, sorry!  I just want to be sure I understand what you mean by "independent".  Means it doesn't need anything else, right?
My game also crashed several times after installing peggy's new hairs and also one male hair from the other website. So I took ALL those hairs from the game and it didn't crash anymore. Then I put peggy's hair one by one back into the game - and the game didn't crash anymore. I didn't put back this mail hair from the other site (SimsartsUnion). After that I installed 1 core mod, 3 more hairs and a lot of clothes etc. from MTS and other websites - and everything is still O.K. So I just want to say, be patient, test your game!  Or just your graphic card  or processor isn't strong enough.
