An odd thing that I've noticed is that when I run the .bat - it only seems to run fps and then open the game IF it got to download an update. Otherwise, it runs itself and then quickly closes after seeing that there's no new updates and I have to go manually click on fps or my game shortcut.
It's only mildly frustrating, but I wondered what might be causing this.
That's impossible. It works for me. Are you sure that's the case?
Quite sure. It happens all the time to me. It moves so fast I don't have a chance to take a screenshot, but the last thing I see on the black window is a list of the three .zip files it looks for.
If I'm not up to date - aka, there's a new awesomemod to dl - then it works perfectly after getting the new files. Everything opens like it's supposed to. It's only when nothing new needs to be done that it just shuts down. I'm baffled.
... ok. I just spent a good bit of time trying to catch that last second before the window closes and nothing else happens. I'm up to date, so it just repeats the same actions any time I try to run it.
Windows 7, no fancy drive names or extra folders.
Combing through the thread several times trying to see if there was ANYTHING different about how my computer did things, I found this old post of yours

Updated to v1.5
The updater is hyper-automatic now. It searches for awesome.package and replaces it with the new one.
I had to change the storage folder. It is now: "Documents\AwesomeMod Updater Revived" instead of "Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Updater". The updater will delete the old folder before creating the new one.
Is it a problem that my 3booter apparently never got deleted? I seem to have both of these locations at the same time.
testing, by deleting the old folder..... and no. Nothing happened. Well, I'm out of ideas.

This program is awesome, though I'm currently trying to find a way to use this program in conjunction with granthes's Custom Launcher on MTS, either by somehow forcing the Custom Launcher to open the Updater or by rerouting it. That would be *perfect*.
You could edit the batch file to point to the Custom Launcher, but you won't have the benefit from 3booter and FPS_Limiter then. You could ask granthes to add such a functionality.

Try v1.8. Also, make sure you have installed AwesomeMod already.
Updated to v1.8
- Fixed Jessnova's issue;
- Added better support for non-Latin alphabet installations (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Taiwanese).

Don't suppose I can just use it without FPSLimter? I use the Nvidia control panal to force vsync at 60fps.
Jessnova:
Heh. Of course I have awesomemod installed. I used it to destroy all humans earlier today, so there's no question it's there and working as it should.
Docs>EA>Sims3>Mods>Awesome, all as it should be in the new install path.
Downloaded and ran new version. Screen looked different, but still closed without opening fps or 3booter. Just to test something, I renamed the existing Updater folder so it would re-download the files needed. Ran again, new folder was generated with exactly the same content as old folder - but neither fps, 3booter, nor Sims3 initiated.
Would it make a difference if not ALL of the expansion/stuff packs were updated? I was lazy this last update and didn't follow up after it auto-updated Base and Current like it tends to do, ignoring the others. I can't see as how this would make a terrible difference, as not everyone is going to have updated.
I'm going to update what I can while I scratch my head in confusion.
Ishigreensa:
Laziness is one thing. UR I agree, is just plain retard looking, but to assult the way someone has always used their language by comparing Color and colour is going overboard.
American English is NOT the same as British English.
This is appearent in calling the hood of a car a bonnet, which to an American is a hat for a woman and a hood with has 2 meanings, the car's engine cover and the hat piece attached to a sweat shirt, a coat, or similar garment.
Black English is somewhat different, too, and I would not fault them if they spelled something fo' instead of for.
Please be open minded when you talk to people, and be sure you are not assaulting a culture rather than just laziness.
Thanks
