Note: AwesomeMod contains critical bug fixes. Playing without for too long may cause irreversible neighborhood damage.
Ok, but for future reference. (such as when the mod is being updated for a new patch or expansion pack). You can uninstall the mod and play the same neighbourhood without it messing up the game? And transferring houses and families between hoods cause no problems?
Sorry for being persistent. I just want to be sure about what I'm doing. Now you've said that, I'll probably stick with the awesomemod, but I still need to know the answer to my questions so I'm not playing blindly only to encounter problems sometime down the line if I need to remove it again for whatever reason.
EDIT: I also want to move my families and houses to Riverview from Sunset Valley anyway because there's a lot more space there. So knowing if transferring families is safe would be helpful.

Running with what was the latest awesomemod yesterday and got a ctd when going to China. Loaded up the game and did fixall which sorted a number of things including '5 bad sims'. The information box said something about fixing minipartners, what's it all about? The game seems to be running fine since.
(In reference to comments a page or two back, sims in the new ambitions 'hood are very active on the romantic/marriage/pollination front but I did have to go around installing cots and single beds in most houses.)

@Tubbo: You obviously need a lot of hand holding, consoling and reassurances so I will break it down for you.
Look, the creator of the mod said you can uninstall it by pausing, typing uninstall, saving and exiting then removing the mod. Regardless of what the "multiple posts" you could have sworn you read said, he is, you know, the creator of the damned mod so I would think he would know a little more about it than some random yahoo.
The irreversible damage he is speaking of by playing a game without Awesomemod's critical fixes applies equally to playing never having installed Awesomemod in the first place as it does to playing post Awesomemod uninstall. i.e. even BBStards who never touched or heard of Awesomemod could still experience such damage, i.e. if you play unmodified sloppy EAxis code use at your own risk.
He's not saying there will be a problem, and if there were it would not be caused by any residual effect of removing Awesomemod, he is saying that there are parts of EA's code that he fixed that could potentially cause errors if you aren't using his fixes.
Transferring families between neighborhoods is completely irrelevant to having or not having Awesomemod since you are not transferring your save files but rather just templates containing the looks and traits of those sims in order to recreate copies of them in the new neighborhood.

Transferring famblies across neighborhoods is safe, with a few caveats: Relationships outside of the transferred household will be lost. The Twallanian Porter Device supposedly can allow you to mass-move extended famblies across different households, but as this is not an AwesomeWare product, we can't provide support for it, as I have no idea how or if it works.

I'm curious about this, too, as it's the only thing that ever comes up when I fixall.
Edited to fix tenses.
