Deleting the Awesome Mod?!
Tangie:
See, this is why people who have no clue should NOT be messing with mods. I am in no way a computer expert but next to you I look like a genius. ::)
First, why would you even have copies in BOTH My docs and Program files? The AwesomeMod package file, and the aweconfig file, if you use it, go in your Mods directory in either your base game or WA directories. Got that so far? It does not even go in your My Docs folder (although that may change with Ambitions, but that's another topic). Along with this Mod folder which contains your AM file and any other CC package files you have installed goes your framework file. Did you also delete the framework? If you have other custom content that you did not install with the launcher, you have to have that framework file. Deleting it could be causing your crashing.
OTOH, if you HAVE moved the Mods folder to your My docs directory, as EA says to do now, it could be some other custom content that you have installed that is causing your crashing. Or you could still have a copy of it somewhere on your PC and need to do a search and destroy mission. Also definitely do as sora says and delete your cache files in My Documente > Electronic Arts directory.
Finally, did you or did you not start the game with AM and use the features of AM in your game? Depending on which features you used, your game might be just fine even without AM, but sora actually explained it rather well - some of the features of AM will change the game to the extent that it will no longer be playable without it. I could be wrong, but I think this will mostly be affected by the Supreme Commander features, but someone will correct me shortly if I'm wrong.

I haven't actually had a chance to even try out ANY of the features of Awesome Mod. EA realeased their new Patch literally RIGHT AFTER I downloaded the Awesome Mod so it immediately said that the mod was out of date but it won't allow me to delete it.
J. M. Pescado:
Yeah, that's the new bitch-and-whine screen. It will ALWAYS say that, which is a liecake, even when using the prototype test. I am looking into how to banish that.
Drakoni:
I just found that some of my custom content has disapeared and my game is completely fucked up... it no longer shows the family members on the left side of the screen and my Sims' names have been changed and loads of bugs such as my sim being stuck in a sofa have appeared... is this because I deleted the awesome mod?
If I re-download the piece of shit will it go back to normal?
Tangie:
If you can't be bothered to answer any of the questions I previoused asked you, I don't know why you still seem to expect that someone can help you.
Did you install the config file when you installed AM? You said that you can't delete AM - how do you know that AM was not deleted?? Did you clear your caches and try running the game after you deleted the file? Because if you deleted the physical file, clearing the caches will clear out AM. If you don't know how to clear caches, search this site for info. My best advice to you at this point, considering that the data you are providing is extremely limited and mostly unhelpful, is to clear your caches and remove ALL OF YOUR CC, every last bit of it (put it on your desktop for now if you don't want to delete it) and try running the game. If it's still borked, see the thread about installing AM and the framework file and try reinstalling the whole thing (an Ambitons compatible version, of course).
