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!
sent :)

JBoat... how do I remove any traces of the old AM on them ? Maybe you could PM me w/that info if you don't want to take up space here...
If you can start the game and load a savegame, there should be no need to clean a save of any old mod or AM content. I am fairly sure the newer AM can handle old AM content fine. If there was a problem with the latest patch install and you had to clean a savegame of all mods and core mods, you'd have to un-patch The Sims, remove all mods/core mods, load the savegame (or try to), and then re-save. That's what cleaning is. Sometimes it works on modded savegames, sometimes not.
Did you run the TS3 Launcher and check to see if all of your downloads are installed? That's where both the purchased and free (shared) stuff is. The folder for it is in \My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads\. If you made a backup folder of that before uninstalling/reinstalling, you can simply move the contents back in, restart the Launcher, and re-install all of it.
Oh... and thanks so much! How dumb that we have to re-install all of our Downloads folder but at least I won't lose anything that way... cause I can see all of my cc (TS3 store content) too when I open my Downloads folder... but in the Launcher the window is completely empty of any downloads... so guess this isn't like TS2 where we could just reload the DL folder from our desktop after each patch... but again, I'm just happy I didn't lose the stuff that's been paid for already... :)
And about my previous saved game... when I go into the game to select a "game" to play... I only have the option of choosing a brand new game... and Riverside isn't there either even tho I saved my download of it... so will just re-install it as well... but prolly going to just give up on my saved game cause there's no way I'm going to uninstall again... Stupid EAxis really sucks !
Thanks so much tho and at least this has been a real learning experience and I know MUCH more about my game files than I really ever wanted to... :P

So I'm experiencing a very... odd and annoying issue.
I updated to the latest patch today and installed the latest version of Awesomemod (I'm also using Indie Stone and a few minor tuning hacks). Whenever I load any of my saves or even create a new family the results are always similar to this.
To explain a few things, all those sims WERE ghosts (you can still see the electricity radiating off two of them) and now they obviously look very much alive. Besides my sim who is putting out the fire all other sims (pre-patch created and post-patch created) have pathing issues and won't due anything except stand there. The only reason I can think of why my sim is still putting out the fire is because I had saved my game while he was doing that. The GUI looks a bit screwy. For starters the icons for any of my household sims are gone. Then the little sim image (that is above the Life Time Wish) is of a female sim I've never created or played as. This is especially odd because even when I switch to different saves in other neighborhoods she is there.

has i has already explain in another thread, I have exactly the same problem, but I DON'T patch my game, so, it cannot come from the patch, I feel it's come from hacks, because I have also awesome and Indi hack, and when I remove one of them, the game is correct.
I cannot explain correctly, I am not a Hacker, or a Html maker, I just say that the last patch cannot be responsable, because I haven't it .
