Patch 1.11/2.6/3.2

Honestly, this is getting beyond silly, with all the "I'm new here, please don't savage me" posts.
PROTIPS - Here's how it works n00bs:
If you post an intelligent question, demonstrating that you tried with some level of competence above that of a squashed banana to search the forum for the answer, but came up blank and so you are asking if someone might have the information you seek, then the long-time regular MATYzens will likely treat you with a certain level of (what passes for) kindness and technical questions will be answered. Less "seasoned" MATYzens and random others will still savage you for sport. You are not in a tame zone or a zoo. This is the wilds.
If you make a reasonable post, just like in the scenario above, including the lack of a squashed banana, but include a cute "I'm new, hospitalized, demented, etc., please don't hurt me" post, you will likely be savaged first, and then we'll forget whatever question you actually came to ask. It is so easy to get distracted.
witch:
Whenever the n00bs roll over and show their bellies it makes me want to kick them. I wish they wouldn't do that, it's so fucking irritating.

This is profoundly off-topic, but this sort of thing is going to happen as long as newer members get the impression that most of the responses to asking a question is going to be met with hostility, and that any problems along the line are solely based on the person in question being a blathering idiot. Posts from users acting like Grammar Red Lanterns doesn't help that perception.
Fundamentally, Awesomemod (compared to other drastic-game-changers) is significantly easier to screw up when installing, even for users that understand their systems. Granted, part of this is how unstable Sims 3 can be. Forum searches are always spotty at best, and how-to threads (I'm looking at you, How-To-Install-The-Framework Thread) are difficult to parse.
Random suggestion, has Pescado thought at all about an Awesomemod installer, complete with framework that installs everything to wherever it is supposed to be?
Jeeves:
Why bother? Is it really that difficult to copy files? Maybe someone without these most basic of computer skills should not be using AwesomeMod. Or a computer, for that matter.

Everyone responds MUCH BETTER to some sanctimonious white knight showing up to LEKTCHER about how MATYzens should behave on their own board.
It's Pescado's board, Pescado's mod, and Pescado's rules of engagement. There is a FAQ that 'splains about how to post and what not to post. There is a SEARCH FUNCTION to help find information and to keep the forum from being spammed with constant "lulz ima 2 dum or 2 lazy 2 look this up so help meh" posts.
Awesomemod is easy to install, use, and update. There are detailed instructions on working with Awesomemod. If people aren't bright enough to follow instructions, they should probably stick to simpler mods or avoid modding their game at all. This is not a hand-holding, feel-good club.
