How to uninstall/reinstall awesome mod?
terriefarrell:
At the risk of getting flamed as much as the last guy, I'm also having major problems. I installed awesomemod a couple weeks ago, no problems, game working so I'm not a complete idiot (guess that will be denied in a bit). After getting the expiration message i've tried to do the same as last time although not redownloaded the monkey helper and i just cannot get it to work. Tried just deleting the awesomemod file and then replacing it by using drag and drop into the same place, game does the hang on loading thing, reloaded a few times and when it eventually loaded it still had the expiration message and kicked me back to Windows. Tried as suggested just booting up with no awesomemod and then putting it back on and it booted without awesomemod but when tried to put it on again, same problem.
So deleted everything (and this is where maybe i have more of a problem, knowing exactly WHAT to delete). Used the uninstall for the monkey helper, deleted the awesomemod.package file and the script file in 'my documents'. Reloaded monkey helper, redownloaded awesomemod and when i double click on awesomemod it tells me access is denied. For further info i am the admin on windows so shouldn't be anything to do with my access settings (or should it) and I didn't have his problem with the first install. I have read everything i can find on the forums but it really isn't helping me, i've just spent the last two hours trying to do this myself and would just appreciate a bit of advice or help rather than a 'you're a thick shit' comment.

Have you tried deleting all of the assorted cache files in the mydoc/EA/ts3 folder? Part of the crash syndrome checklist recommends: 2. Deleting all of the *cache.package files out of your Sims3 user directory.
It also mentions prayer rattles and pious chanting, or something like that. Personally, I offered my computer a snackrifice and everything turned out ok...

That is where i had the difficulty in identifying which ones so i have now deleted all files with 'cache' in the title (although only files in ts3 directory rather than any other contained within other folders in there) along with the scriptcache which i already had deleted and I don't want to jinx myself but it has loaded and i've switched households a few times to check i'm not losing inventory and all seems good now. Strange how i'm now getting the loading problems with this version though which i never had before with the previous version but I will try the suggestions on the download page and see if that can be improved. Thanks for the non flamey response ;)

Terrie, have you tried installing the enablescripterror.package? That might help you out. Also, if you're getting crashes at the loading screen, you might try the threebooter. The enablescripterror.package has been sufficient for me.

Oh no...
I have been messing with my Documents files this whole time :-[
Thank you Marhis for pointing that out, how can I get to the my programs files? Sorry :-\
I'm surprised you still have a head, since Marhis is clearly OM, NOM, NOMMING it.
You know, the thing on your desk? The thing with fans and buttons that has a keyboard attached, and hopefully a little TV-like thing that shows pretty pictures? That's your computer. If you press one of the shiny buttons, it might even turn on. This is called "booting", which is, incidentally, what you're going to get if you don't be less stupid.
When it finishes starting up, your TVthingy will have what we generally call a "desktop" showing. This is Windows, and is an operating system. Your computer also has a hard drive, where it can store things. On this drive there are many little folder things. If you can find a program called "Windows Explorer", it will even show you what they are with cute little pictures that look like folders.
Your hard drive has a letter, probably C. Click on this. It will show that there are a bunch of little "folders" on the drive, one of which will likely be "Program Files".
You will note that Windows Explorer has a Search button. I specifically did not mention this earlier because it is apparent that you have no nascient search skills, and even less ability to acquire them now that Marhis has eaten your head. If you could use it however, you would find that it would find your Program Files folder quite quickly.
I would now like you to contemplate Jesus Christ on a bicycle. I know I am. ::)
