Game won't load
seremela:
Hey you guys are a bit unfair. I did a lot of searching, both on Google and in this forum and I'm sorry if I didn't find something that had been posted already. I assumed it would have been but nobody's problem seemed to be exactly the same as mine. I wish you'd play a bit nicer, you're quite often a bit aggressive towards us newbies. We are trying not to be idiots!
Anyway, thanks Chandria for the suggestions, unfortunately it didn't work. Although I don't know what the configuration tool is, so I'm about to go and look that up!
Ta.

Patch Fail maybe?

Assuming you have the latest version of Awesomemod (really old versions would have expired on you anyway) and have the game updated with the latest patch released after Ambitions it's either files missing, in incorrect locations or some other content causing the issue.
EA changed the process for installing package files with Ambitions so read up on that here at mod the sims
If you have any other mods or custom content verify that they are updated and will work correctly with Ambitions.
I had the same problem and this solved it.
I don't tend to live on these sites - only checking them when I have a specific issue, and people call their issues the weirdest things which can make it hard to know what to Google for.
Credit of course to Motoki for the original reply to my issue
seremela:
Thank you very much, I'll look into that. I wasn't aware it had changed, so I'm still using someone's installer... Delphy's? The monkey one. Yeah, I think it's largely down to people calling the same issue different things which makes it very hard to compare. Grrr semantics!
Thanks!

You could also be having the same problem I have. Soon after AMB came out, my game started taking longer to load. The last time I posted it was 10 minutes, it's now 40. It's slowly got worse as time has gone on. I've spent a couple days trying to work out why, without luck. All I can say is that starting a new game fixes it. So now I'm in the process of moving everything to a new town.
To describe my issue. Once I hit load for a save game, the bar will sit there not moving at all, the music will play, sometimes it will cut out for a while. In process monitor all I see is the game continuously accessing FullBuild1.package from the sims3 dir and Shaders_Win32.precomp from AMB dir. After 30-40 minutes the game will start loading and it will load quite fast and while in-game everything works fine and the game saves just fine. I've tried replacing those two files in case something corrupted them, but no luck. I've removed all custom content, but no luck, but as stated, new games seem to be fine.
So it seems something is halting the game at loadup, and it's got worse over time. Sure something might have happened during the AM upgrade process of existing pre-amb games, but I've saved my game with AM installed, so it is beyond reverting back to see if it's AM causing it and I'm out of ideas.
