I've lurked as a guest for about two years now, and I just have to say I'm glad I lurked, as it probably spared me some teasing. I was having problems with Awesomemod not working with my most recently patched game (with WA installed as well). I had Sims 3 installed on a previous computer, also with Awesomemod, and it worked fine.
I almost went crazy trying to get it to work...and then suddenly today, after reading through many threads, I found what I had done wrong, and felt so n00bish it wasn't even funny.
I had placed the aweconf file correctly...but I had neglected to install awesome.package.
I felt like such a douche. So if anyone's having issues with getting Awesomemod to work...make sure you've installed the awesome.package as well as the aweconf file, if you chose to set the configurations that way.
That's my helpful tip. I am fully prepared to be mercilessly made fun of for my gross oversight. ;D
9 times out of 10 when someone comes for support the issue turns out to be some ridiculously simple step that got forgotten. I can't tell you how many times I have had to explain that the ‘circle with a line going through the bottom' IS the power button. Glad you were able to find it without getting flamed.

I've noticed lately that my inactive Sims are throwing parties. Is this a new feature in Awesome, or did EAxis actually fix that feature?
Oh? What do you mean? That feature has always sort-of existed, but I don't think it triggered often.
funkilla:
I get notices from inactive Sims that are friends talking about "The first guest has arrived to the party. Better make sure everything is in order!" or similar. But the thumbnail isn't part of my active Family. So I clicked on the thumbnail in the notification, camera zoomed to the inactive Sim having a party, and sure enough, people were arriving with food and swarming the host. I brought one of my Sims to the party (they weren't invited), party carried on, people started leaving, and then when my Sim was the last one to leave, I got another notification about the party being a modest success.
This is the second time I've had inactive Sim parties in maybe 3-4 days since installing WA. The first time, I didn't check it out, but still got the notification of the party results.
I also use twallan's Story Progression mod, but I didn't anything about parties. "Gatherings," sure, but this party didn't fit any of the gathering scenarios -

The host Sim is not in Politics career to use Campaign parties, the guests were not related to the host, it was not an outing, no one died or got married. I don't think the SP mod is responsible for the parties, but simply providing notifications as I've set the stories to show for Blood or Friends of active family.
If this is not your doing (or twallan's, as those are the only two mods I use), then perhaps EA got something right.

Must be a Twallanian Story feature, then.

I have a question. If I have awesomemod, and twallan's story progression mod, can I also have the same-sex-pregnancy mod, or will awesomemod still interfere with that?
AM is a core mod and will conflict with any other core mod you attempt to use, if the same sex pregnancy mod is a core mod, what do you think? Most people when placing mods up for download tend to tell you if it is a core mod or not, go back and check where you intend to get the mod.
If in doubt, try it, if it conflicts, the game won't load and you'll more than likely be advised of a problem.

If you're using twallan's Story progression, why not go and ask them over there about it, as they are a hell of a lot more likely to know what it does, and answer your questions about it.
