Make sure that resources.cfg and DevIL.dll go in your main Amnesia folder, and that the Simulacrum folder goes in \custom_stories\
DevIL.dll is
required for users running Amnesia 1.3.1

The custom resources.cfg is
optional but
recommended in order to use the custom spotlight lantern.
(I also highly recommend playing it with
