Game Launcher freezes when installing/Game CTD after intro
Auddie:
First off, I don't have WA installed and don't plan on getting it anytime soon. I have game version 1.3.24, and have not updated/attempted to update since then. I haven't experienced any major problems because of this, and frankly I couldn't be bothered to patch when Awesome mod assuages any major problems, for me.
Recently, my game launcher stopped working. I only use it when I'm forced to download a Sims3Pack, and I've never had a problem of it completely freezing and the installation terminating until now. The small screen for the installation progress pops up, but just stays black and freezes before the download even starts.
Secondly, the game simply won't load. I tried loading from both the .exe and the launcher, and I cleared my cache files. It loads until the intro, then crashed straight to the desktop. I took out my entire mods folder, but to no avail. I think took out the past few downloads I downloaded since my last gameplay, and that also did not work.
I'm kind of lost here, any help will do. Than you.
Edit: I downloaded the most recent awesomemod a few days before this happening because the game reminded my current version would was outdated/
coconnor:
Well, your first problem is that AwesomeMod is incompatible with the version of the game you are playing. In order to use AwesomeMod, you must patch your game up to the current level (1.7.9, I believe).
Auddie:
No, I don't think that's true. Seeing as how I said I've used it fine, through all of it's updates up until now, I don't think it's incompatible.
I just retried loading the game only with a slightly older version of awesomemod and it loaded. I do get the flagrant system error though, and I know that's obviously because it's expired. I'm concluding that this awesomemod update might not be compatible without WA? I figured that in the first place, since it was added to be compatible with that game, but I had to update it because my old awesomemod was going to expire.

OFFICIAL 1.7.9/WA UPDATE
Now for WA and all that other crap.
Fixed EA Bug: Using Mirror/Dresser/CAS should no longer reset a sim's age.
Mac version files now recognized.
Experimental CustomBooksXX support added as in this thread.
Fixed more issues with 0100 EAstory crashes
Assorted Shiny Tweaks
Fixed EA Bug/Feature where setting the lot type would destroy the lot's name and description.
Fixed apparently EA issue with career outfits potentially going missing
Droptrait will now correctly drop reward traits and refund the Asp used to purchase them.
Placing lights in buy/build mode now causes them to inherit the settings of the most similar light, so that you don't need to constantly set them everytime you add/replace a light.
BedSleep timer now gives a more accurate prediction that takes into account traits and bed quality, and fixes an EA floating-point rounding glitch.
Quoted for the obvious, your game versions don't match. When updating AM, you must at least read the last post in the thread to see what Pescado has worked on. Still I don't see how you used the last version of AM, it was only for patched games 1.4.
As for your launcher, it will not work til you update to the latest patch. Sorry, you will need to update to use the shiney toys!
EDIT: You don't need WA, just updated base game to 1.7.
Auddie:
I'm now realizing that. I guess it sort of slipped my mind because I've updated awesomemod, as it's been updated to work for different patches, WITHOUT having those patches installed for my game, and it's always worked fine. I suppose this will now force me to update my game, though I can only imagine the world of hell that will be released from doing so. Thanks, though!
