AWESOMEMOD! SHINY! WIP - Download & Announcements

[J. M. Pescado]

It's Awesomemod. It fixes story mode and a bunch of other nice things. Future features include added traits, and other happy fun things. Due to the nature of TS3, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE. Semper Fidelis Tyrannosaurus! This content is not suitable for those under 18.

REQUIRES: Delphy's Framework Install Monkey For Dummies OR framework.zip (Advanced/Mac Users Only!)

The Manual is now too long to fit in a post and can be viewed here or here.

For those wishing to pick and choose features, you can use the online AwesomeMod Configuration Tool.
Or you can hack the XML yourself. Up to you.

LOAD SCREEN CRASH ISSUES INFO
Does your crash look like this?

You have the "Old Car Syndrome" crash. For reasons which are utterly mysterious, the game will crash on startup at that point totally at random. There is no consistency to this and we do not know why it does that. Changing anything, apparently at random, on your computer, or even nothing at all, may alleviate the issue. You can try:

1. Simply trying again. For Windoze users, 3booter will perform this task automatically, as well as clearing the wreckage.
2. Deleting all of the *cache.package files out of your Sims3 user directory.
3. Reinstalling AwesomeMod.
4. Installing this enablescripterror.package file into your Mods/Packages. Also useful for debugging other glitches. NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 1.3+
5. Rebooting your computer.
6. Blowing in your computer.
8. Turning off the computer and violently shaking it.
9. Prayer.
10. Rattles.
11. Chanting.

DO NOT REPORT THIS PARTICULAR CRASH
We already know about it and there is no apparent cause or solution, and reports on how you got it, or made it go away, are totally unhelpful, as it appears to function by pure voodoo.

INDIESTONE COMPATIBILITY INSTRUCTIONS
To use AwesomeMod with the IndieStone Story Progression Mod, you must get the latest version of AwesomeMod (above), and the latest version of IndieStone.

Instructions:
Install AwesomeMod as usual.
Install the "IndieStoneMod.package" (NOT the IndieStoneCore).
PLAY!

Due to its status as a third-party module, support for IndieStone will not be provided here. Behavior is undefined and AwesomeMod may not function if you load with the wrong core.

Misc Bugfixes/Cleanups
Added support for custom name STBLs.
Supreme Commander declared "mostly safe", or at least not worse than everything, and radar/command options now publicly available.

Macro-Fishing should no longer get stuck.
Motive AutoSatisfaction Curve now offset by job hours so sims with night-shift jobs don't pass out during work.

Shinyness!

[J. M. Pescado]

Robotic Hand should no longer automatically stow food parented to Buffet Table.
Unemployed Non-Playable Ghosts (should be all of them) given -12-hour low-res motive offset, which should make them nocturnal and thus not sleepy during haunting hours.
Inappropriate Trait mean actions (Make Fun Of, Talk About X's Bad Things) will now produce a positive response with sims that are mean and/or dislike the target being mocked, instead of ALWAYS being negative and ALWAYS offending the listener, even if the target is a hated individual.
"You Suck" message no longer displays for those with timezone offsets in the future of the build computer.

[J. M. Pescado]

[J. M. Pescado]

NEW UPDATE
Added greatly improved CAS relationship setter: Can now do things like parenting YAs to Adults, marrying A/YA to elders, etc. Possible combinations are now based on the actual in-game rules and aging lengths, and the starting ages that result will therefore be adjusted to be compliant with the actual rules.
Option to Start Book as an instant-command added to Macro menu, so can immediately title the book without waiting for the sim to plonk its butt down however many hours later it takes.
Added "Use Awesome Naming" for marriage-based renaming, so children will no longer be arbitrarily renamed.
Stuck Inventory Objects can now be Nuked.
Fixed Crash Bug with Sell/Refine
Fixed Missing Fathers in Pregnancy Resolution
Improved item selection in Supreme Commander.
Returning stolen objects even from unowned/community lots now actually returns all but a few unusual types of object, putting them back where they were before, instead of simply disintegrating them.

[J. M. Pescado]

NEW UPDATE
Fixed Klepto return to community lots.
Made it so sims invited to a party are not required to be at work since the Go To Work action is locked out and will drop from queue, resulting in thrashing: Also, it is nearly impossible to ever have a party otherwise because of scheduling conflicts.
Stuff.

[J. M. Pescado]
