Install 1.3 update or not?
Wolfeyes:
Well I don't know if anyone can help me here but I've read 18 copies of my rtpatch.log and it says that the 1.3 patch is getting hung up on the Baker.package which I know is one of the families from the Library and which I've replaced 3 times from my DVD game files when the mirror ones here didn't help... My patch.log is not recording all the times I've attempted to install the patch so now can't tell what it's hanging up on but still getting the "File Not Found" error code... have also replaced all gameplaydata, gameplay, etc files and never had the shader or camera mods...
So, finally decided to just save my Saved Sims, Saved Games, Downloads to my desktop... and uninstall the entire game... only to be met w/this error code:
Error Information:
>Kernel\KernelMedia.cpp (95)
>SetupNew\setup.cpp (851)
PAPP:
PVENDOR:Electronic Arts (http://www.TheSims3.com)
PGUID:C05D8CDB-417D-4335-A38C-A0659EDFD6B8
$15.0.0.498
@Windows XP Service Pack 3 (2600)
IE Version: 8.0.6001.18702
I just re-updated the XP SP3... so now am completely stumped as how to even uninstall my game... any help or suggestions would be much appreciated... ::)

Make backups of beloved mods and whatnot.
Get Revo Uninstaller; it's free. Using the advanced setting (it'll ask you four of which you'd like to do), go to uninstall TS3, ignore the same bullshit error code again and continue on hitting Next, deleting every fucking trace of the program (or just do it manually without Revo, but make sure you delete the patch files from the Temp folder and the registry keys).
You have to make sure you delete every trace -- and I mean EVERY trace -- of the bastard patch and TS3 before it will uninstall properly (also don't be surprised if it takes a while to reinstall; mine kept hanging).
ETA: You'll probably want Revo in any case. I tried deleting shit manually like I usually do, but no matter how many times I deleted registry keys, they were STILL there.

Is the new version of Awesomemod backwards compatible for not-yet-patched games? Or is it even useful for people who haven't updated to use the new one?
Well, doing so makes you running the Unholy Hybrid, but in THEORY, it shouldn't blow up.
I was actually going to ask the same question. I just installed the newest version of AM, and I get through the initial loading screen fine, but get an immediate soft crash when going to load the saved game. I have NOT installed the latest sims3 patch yet.
I am having the EXACT same issue. I am guessing that the new Awesome blows up un-patched games, as J. M. said. :o
Does anyone have a previous version of Awesome that they would be willing to upload to us peasants?
I backed up the previous release I was running from 7-23, I can email it if you like
I encountered the same problem... and didn't back up the old version of awesomemod. Can you email me a copy, too? I am going to send you an email now. Thanks!
JBoat:
Just an FYI for those of you trying to use older versions of AM:
If you aren't willing to patch your Sims 3 copy, and instead try to use it unpatched with an older version of AwesomeMod, don't bother posting with any problems in the meantime on these forums. Nothing Pescado hates more than bug reports and requests for help from people using outdated versions. The latest copy of AM seems to work fine with all my savegames, both AM enabled ones and not. Perhaps you should clean your old savegame of any AM elements first (with the new patch installed), and then install the new AM.
Or, you could try and help Pes find out where problems in AM are coming from (which is the whole point of him time-bombing copies). AM is actually still a beta, and as such we're unofficially expected to help when we find problems by reporting bugs.

Thanks! Now I just need to reinstall the rest of my custom content and recreate my sim families. Thanks EA.
