Heatherkinz:
I just installed the 1.4 patch, and went to go and play my game. A message came up saying that my version of awsome mod had expired so i went to install a new version but every time I try this message comes up:
This hasn't happened to me before, when my version has ran out. I run my version with Indie stone, but that didn't affect me when I updated awsome mod before. Can any body help me? If you want any more information about my game or anything then let me know.

OK we will probably both get yelled at, you for creating a brand new thread just for an issue that is not really Awesome Mod related, and me for answering you. But I will respond anyway because I received this message the first time I tried to reinstall AwesomeMod using Dephy's Install Monkey (or whatever it's called) too. I have no idea why it only worked the first time and not after that, but it didn't for me, either.
I'm sure there's probably another way to resolve the issue, and you might be able to find the answer on Mod the Sims, since that's where you'll find support for the Install Monkey thingy (as I seem to recall other people reporting this issue there). The way I resoved it, though, was to just drag AM to the Hacks folder (which the Install Monkey created) manually. The Install Monkey makes installing packages easy, but you really don't need it to do it for you if you understand where the files go in the first place.
If you have Windows Vista, go to Computer>C Drive (or whatever drive you install your programs on)> Program Files>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Mods>Packages>Hacks. Drag the file inside the Hacks folder, or cut and paste it, or use whatever method you choose to get it there. If you don't want to do it manually, you could try reinstalling Install Monkey to see if it installs AwesomeMod for you again.
Heatherkinz:
Sorry for creating the thread if it wasn't meant to be here, i wasn't sure if it was an issue with awsome mod or the new patch or what lol. I will try what you told me to do and sorry again for the thread. Thankyou :)
Tangie:
Any chance the access denied messages due to this? Aside from error mesages, creating a new Games folder would certainly make it simpler to find the game files. I doubt if I'll change things on my PC at this point, but I'll do it this way when I buy a new one. Thanks for the advice.

On Vista? If so, disable the User Account Controls...
Control Panel > User Accounts, bottom of the list.
