"wont work" doesn't really give me a good description the problem you're having, but common issues are:
1 - you're able to see and buy the objects, but you won't be able to add them to your inventory - need to install the Framework ''

I had excact the same, and i installed the framework. but it doesnt work!!

It doesn't work for me, when I click the weapon in my inventory and click shoot my Sim doesn't do anything, he just stands there. When I click away the shooting he keeps standing there and doesn't move at all.

Does anyone know how to keep from getting arrested? The top of the library allows me access to just about anyone in the park or at the Bistro in Sunset Valley. Those two spots seem to work fine. I can build a perch or teleport somewhere that gives no one access to me and I will not get arrested. However, I can be seen and will not get arrested only because they can't physically get to me. The negative affect of this is that the witnesses will forever hate me. This includes my wife if she sees me do it. People in this state will forever hate me (no clickable debuff). I can drag my relationship bar back up but it VERY rapidly drops even if I spend hours schmoozing them.

That might be a bug but what I really want is to hear what you all have done to keep from getting caught. I can go to their house and have them invite me in if they are alone. If they are asleep or the option to visit isn't there I can find a window and pop them from outside. Sometimes neighbors just a few feet away don't see me and other times someone from pretty damn far away will bust me. I just can't get a feel for it.

Long distance is definitely the key in general. If I perch somewhere so far away that fully zoomed I can barely see them and my perch is not on or near any other lot then I can kill with impunity. I can also build a community lot near the park, put a large tower in it and fence off the entire lot with no gate and I am also good to go.

It is exciting to perch in a great spot and wait 8 hours for one dude to come out and go to work just to get a kill. However, I can't count how many times a tree or passing car or my dog jumping in my lap caused me to lose my shot.

Anyone have any advice?

Once again, for all those with problem 1 - "you're able to see and buy the objects, but you won't be able to add them to your inventory - need to install the Framework''
This is usually what happens when you don't have the framework installed for all EPs... make sure you have the d3dx9_31.dll file in the Game/Bin folder of base game and each Expantion Pack/Stuff Pack you have.

If still doesn't work, there is an alternative - In patch 1.12 it was also introduced support for a mods folder in the My Documents Sims folder (instead of the one in Program Files), and if you use this new folder, you don't need the framework anymore - instructions in the wiki.

Regarding the handcuffs staying on after being arested, I'm a bit short on time to really look into it, but in the mean time I'll just remove the getting arrested part from them mod (but witnesses will sthill get the moods and hate you).
I'll try to provide an update without the arrest part by next weekend.

@cyberrico - Currently you have a chance of beeing arrested if there are non-evil in the same room as you and closer than 40 tiles.
ex: The park is only one room (except for the toilets) so if you shoot there, sims there will see you if they aren't too far away - the park is 60 tiles long, so if you shoot from one edge of the park, the ppl by the other edge wont see you.
But if you're alone in another lot/room, like in a balcony overlooking the park, you should be able to safelly shoot anyone without the risk of getting arested or them witnessing and hating you.

Ok so it's probably a game mechanic bug. I have built towers on community lots with no doors so that only I can get there (teleport) and I have been busted and I have stood more than 40 tiles away off of the lot that I was firing to and been busted. My own wife ratted me out in my own home shooting into the next lot (53 waterfall way to 57 waterfall way). I'll test it with a balcony. I have also shot someone in the same room as someone else (not evil) and didn't get busted.

A tower on a comunity lot should be safe as long as the game counts it as a diferent room. Try adding border walls to have more inclosed.

But the rest sounds like it's working fine - if there's a sim near you that sees you shoot, he might call the police (doesn't really matter how far your victim was). Sims near the target will get negative moods for seeing someone die, but if they're too far away to "see" you shoot, they won't know you did it and so they won't call police nor hate you.

That happens when using the wrong WeaponsLib version.
If you have base game patch 1.12 or above, you need to use the lib in Desecrate_WeaponsLib.zip, not the Desecrate_WeaponsLib-Old.zip.
The old is only for patch levels before 1.12.

The good news is that you have the framework installed correctly (otherwise you wouldn't get any interactions)
