World Adventures Mods folder setup, and What works and what does not
catshirlann:
As it appears some people have their mods in the base game folders, and others in the WA folders, and both claim they work, does this mean it doesn't really matter? or is the Jury still out on that one?

After I installed WA, Twallan's Super computer (v.35) would not work in the base game folders, so I followed Crazy Town's instructions on how to move it to WA folders and to my delight, it started functioning again. By the way, Slam works in either base game or WA folders.

I have been putting my hairs back in a few at a time and the only one that has given me any issue is the Invidia hair from GenSoRon
This picture made me lol.

As a hobbyist games programmer myself, and having noticed which mods tend to work from the base game path and which need to be in the WA path, I'm going to (tentatively) suggest that EAxis has made the loading of code and data inheritance-based, like so:
1. Load base code/data from original TS3 path;
2. Load updated code/data from WA path (where WA data differs/is newer)
This means that code/data from BOTH the base and WA paths is loaded, but code/data from the WA path will override the base in the same way that mods do. This means that any mods in the base path are at risk of being overridden by WA code/data, which is why some work and some don't - the ones that don't work from base are those for which WA has updated code/data of it's own.
NOTE: This produces the side-effect that any mods that don't work from the base path MUST be updated to work with WA, because WA itself makes changes to the same part(s) of the base game the mod changes, and is therefore also overriding the mod!
As far as adding mods to a WA-enabled game, the only way to guarantee that a mod will take precedence over all is to run the game - and all mods - from the WA path and ignore the base TS3 path entirely from now on. The easiest way to think of it is this: WA is itself nothing more than a very sophisticated (and dare I say it, bloated) CORE mod for TS3, created by EAxis rather than by the gaming community. Therefore, if we want to change a WA-enabled game, we have to override both TS3 and WA as a whole.

this is just getting ridiculous... after several crashes with and without CC I managed to play my game.. saved and returned.. no problems.. after the second time i reentered the lot and I found that the adultsims can't get makeover.. which they could last time i saved.. the option doesn't show up in the mirror... I took my sim on vacation and the mirrors worked there (france) so i gave her a makeover and when she returned home she had her same old look... and the mirrors in her house aren't working... and i have added no CC at all... WTF! I'm about to give up.. i have no hacks at all so that can't be it

So you have no CC whatsoever and this is still happening? Best thing that I can tell you is to remove all of your CC to a folder on your desktop, uninstall, re-install, and then slowly put all of your stuff back in. Did you have your CC folders in when you installed WA?
