Missing something?
chalcedonyrose:
I'm trying to figure out why AwesomeMod isn't working for me. I've spent a considerable amount of time sifting through threads trying to figure this out, but I haven't seen any glaring errors on my part yet. Please pardon my ignorance.
I installed it in the new post ambitions way and it is in my documents/ea/sims3/mods/packages folder.
I DO have the new resources.cfg file and it is in the mods folder.
I don't have any other core mods or any mods that even alter gameplay options. (although originally I had NRaas Story Progression and I was trying to use a configured awesomemod with story progression turned off.)
I just updated my game with the new 4.2 and 1.14 patches.
I don't have the .dll files or anything relating to the old manner of installation anymore.
Is there something I'm missing?? Something I'm doing wrong? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Claeric:
A brain, maybe.
For one thing, there's a discussion thread literally one topic below this. For two, you didn't even tell us what the problem is, yet still expect people to solve it for you.

I don't know what this "Post ambitions" way is, but I will say for myself, I'm still using those .dll files. And have a copy of that .dll file in the Bin folder of each expansion pack. I've had no problems yet.

It is the new, yes post ambitions, officially EA sanctioned way to setup and install mods. See here: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Files/Old_Way_to_New_Way
And no, you don't need those dll files anymore if you set it up that way.
To the OP: Are you certain awesomemod isn't working? I get the impression sometimes that people expect it to show a splash screen with AWESOMEMOD!!! in 48 point neon font but it doesn't work that way. The changes are subtle until you really get into playing the game. It's pretty transparent honestly.
If you need to figure out if it's installed and running properly hit control shift and c and then type 'showconfig' in the box, hit enter and see if anything pops up. If you get menus with various settings it is running if it says command not found then it is not.

I actually did test the showconfig in the cheats console. It says it's invalid.
