About the online AwesomeMod Configuration Tool
Chaavik:
Instead of creating a new thread regarding the Online Awesome Mod Configuration Tool to address an issue I came across, I will post here to point out a problem with one of the features.
After the two new features were added to allow players to configure the autosave features, I decided to try the features out and changed my mind using these features. I went back to the page to reconfigure the autosave features to set them both to zero. I wasn't able to with one of the features.
The following feature:
AutoSavesToKeep
Description:
Autosave Every X Minutes (0 to disable)
Problem:
The field box was missing the zero (0) value to be used to disable this feature. I couldn't set this feature to zero to disable this feature.
My reason was because when I placed a new Sim in one lot, the game was autosaved without the option to name it using the Save As option. I didn't want the game to save the game automatically the first time. I wanted to be given the opportunity to name the game save first to separate this save from the other saves I downloaded from players who redid the towns.

I think the online AwesomeMod Configuration Tool is quite misleading. One of the things is that the description of "AutoSavesToKeep" is "Autosave Every X Minutes (0 to disable)". I think the description of "AutoSavesToKeep" should be "Number of auto-save files to be kept".

Yeah, that's an error, although purely cosmetic and not in-game. It will be fixed in the next version.

AutoSavesToKeep is ignored if AutoSavesInterval is set to 0.
Any autosave will always be named Autosave#, with # the number starting with zero and high according to the ASTK setting.
The AutoSavesToKeep cannot be set to zero (0) as the numbers go from 1 to 10, and it's been this way since its' inception whenever I try to set it to zero. ???
J. M. Pescado:
Setting autosavestokeep to 0 is a meaningless concept because setting autosaveinterval to 0 already makes the game not autosave.
