I cant find awesome mod in my computer to delete it, most likely because I am a grandma and am suffering from dementia however if someone could maybe have a more specific path to where it would be I would think you were wonderful ( I did try looking in program files) thank you,
[*]Main Sims 3 directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin (if you use XP, remove the (x86) part)
[*]Sims 3 Packages directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages
[*]Sims 3 data directory: (My Documents Folder)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3
[/list]
Cache files are any file in the data directory with "cache" in the name. Same goes for packages directory (if you find any files with "cache" in the name, either delete them or move them elsewhere). Packages directory holds all the mods you've installed for Sims 3.

1) Delete all copies of awesome mod on your computer. Those you downloaded, those in the packages directory.. all of em.
2) Delete all copies of your awesome config file (assuming you use one). If you don't use one - why the hell not?!
2) Re-download and re-extract the AwesomeMod package. Verify when you copy to Packages directory you don't get an overwrite message.
3) Clear your cache files (all four of them).
4) Go back into your Packages directory, make sure none of the cache files copied themselves into there (I've seen it happen quite a bit on my machine). If they are there, delete them.
5) If you want for good measure, delete the contents of the WorldCaches directory (if there are any).
6) Look at the contents of your Packages directory in detail - verify you don't have another copy of the awesome mod with a variation on the name.
7) Use the online AwesomeMod tool to re-do your config.
8) Copy the new config file to your Packages directory. Verify when you copy that you don't get an overwrite message.
If all else fails after this, shut down your computer, go get lunch (or a quickie - I prefer the quickie), and come back later to try again.
Although i have somehow managed to get it working now (and i really have no idea how) I want to thank you for this cos i'm going to follow these directions to the letter the next time i have to reinstall it (which no doubt will be another few days)....oh and btw, my husband sailed this afternoon with the Navy and therefore no chance of a quickie for a few months but have opted for a bottle of wine instead of lunch! ;)

Hi, I have installed awesomemode and I loved it. But after updated my game with the actual patch from EA yesterday my Sims game does not work fine anymore. Means, if I am telling my Sim to go to bed and he is not in the same room like the bed he just forget it. I have first send him to the sleeping room and then he can go to bed. Further they are only eating in the kitchen. Standing around. They do not use tables and chairs anymore. And cars and taxis are driving on my lot. So I tried to delete aweseomemode. But without the game does not start. Do you have any ideas how I can delete awesomemode until it is compatible with the patch? Thanks and kind regards, Baika ???

Search is your friend. There is already a thread on this in this section.

BTW - no "e" on the end of AwesomeMod - although, by installing AwesomeMod, TS3 runs in AwesomeMode.
