Game Freezing w/Awesomemod
mollipop:
Greetings.
I am nonawesome but have enjoyed the awesomemod for some time now. My game has been freezing (must shut down from task manager; START button does not switch to desktop) or crashing to desktop perodically for a while. Then, recently I installed Ambitions, updated to the latest patch, and installed the latest version of awesomemod. At this point, crashes became more frequent, until I stopped being able to play at all. My game would just freeze up.
I tried troubleshooting to figure out what is causing the crash. Short answer is that with awesomemod it freezes. Without it, it doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas what this might be? I can provide additional information if that would be helpful.
I can run the game without awesomemod, but that's just so... not awesome.
Thanks for any assistance.

I'm probably going to get jumped on from a great height for asking this question - but did you move your mods folder when you set up Ambitions?

Are you sure your crashes aren't RAM-related? Because if they've always happened, and installing a new expansion, thus eating more RAMs, made it worse, that could be why.

MadameMim - I did remove my mods when I installed the new EP. (I always do, for new EPs and patches so now it's habit!)
Tyrannosaur of Doom - I have 12 gig of RAM. Is that enough? (I finally gave in and bought a gaming system, after Sims 2 ate my laptop.) I figured it wasn't a system failure, since it seems to run fine if I take out AM. That's what is so weird. I took out any other hacks I was running (mostly added sliders for CAS), so that the only thing I was running AM with was no intro and transparent baby bottle, so it doesn't seem like it would be a conflict...
Do you think reinstalling the EP might help? I can always try that.
It looks like the game saved an xcpt file (exception?) to my sims folder. Would any of that info be helpful?
I was wondering if others were having this problem, but it sounds like it's just me, so it must have been something I did. Hmph.

I used the Easy-Patch Downloader to force LAA. There have been lots of reports that the game's 2GB RAM limit has caused excessive crashing.
Worked like a charm for me.
