The game won't load without the disk,so I'm still idiotic...

Are you trying to run the game from the launcher (ie the icon the game installs by default on your desktop)? If so, that would be why. Awesomemod does not disable the CD check on the launcher so you will either need to run the game directly from the actual game or episode exe file or get a cracked file for the launcher. The latter is not recommended as it causes problems patching later on. You can backup your files but many people forget to do so.

If you are launching straight from the game exe and it's still not working without the CD then Awesomemod is either not installed right or you turned off the CD Check disable in the config. I'm assuming the former because by default the CD Check is disabled and you would have had to actively go out of your way to change that.

You're best off making the homes ancestral.

Thanks, Zazazu, for the explanations. I was aware of the ancestral home workaround, but I don't like relying on it due to its limitations - primarily, if your sims get married off and have name-changes, they'll have to find their own place. Also, I think I've seen a family get moved out by awesomemod even though it's assigned to an ancestral home, just to get moved back in an hour later.

Going out on a limb here, but uh don't use the launcher?  ::)

Alternately if you absolutely insist on needlessly launching your game from that bloated, buggy piece of crap, go back and REREAD WHAT I SAID THE FIRST TIME. There is a way but it involves searching on your part. I am not going to do everything for you. Also, if you do it and then come back at a later date and complain that you can't patch I will point at you and laugh.
