AwesomeMod Updater (v2.8.3 - Updated 2013-10-16)

[Tingeling]

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

I do not care who I insult. If I do not understand what you are saying, how the hell am I going to communicate correctly with you? Remember that this is MATY and the standard for correct grammar is key to any communication on this forum. Many of us are from other countries where American English and British English is what we are exposed to. Throwing in anything other than the occasional meme or acronym from the Internet and you may be faced with a lot of problems.

BTW, your last post is remarkably similar to a drive-by, since I cannot find anything resembling a grammar discussion in this thread. If you do not have anything other than "OH HAI, I kno ure deeferens in langages!" to say, I suggest you keep your cakehole shut. And wtf is up with the "assault" on other peoples languages? FYI, no one is bashing anyones head in. If your feelings are hurt because someone misunderstood you, then go cry me a river, 'cause no one cares.

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.

Already done. I was just seeing if I could work it out myself until granthes had a chance to implement it. I was doing it the other way around, but I couldn't figure out what file the Custom Launcher used to open Sims 3.

Right now, I use your program for when I'm peering through new packages that I want to delete, and granthe's for when I want to load the massive loads of packages in my downloads file, so it's all good.

I found my issue.   I copy/pasted 3booter, FPS limiter and the two dll files that were in the same folder into the FastLane>game>bin folder.   Apparently, it was an issue with those programs just not wanting to run from where they were.  So, now I can at least get THAT working again.  I'd been having problems since the last update anyway.

But I think the Updater is insisting on using the ones in it's updater folder, which then won't run because those programs seem to only work on my computer in the latest ep/stuff folder.

So, problem identified anyway. 

[Niiro]

Hey basbas,
your fixes fixed my problem with the directory change

Now it's working fine ^^

[tizerist]

Yep it works great now.
Does the FPS limiter cap it at 30 or 60?

The updater does not run 3booter from the AwesomeMod Updater Revived folder, but from the latest EP/SP folder.
Make sure you don't have any backups or copies from awesome.package in Documents\Electronic Arts or any subfolders.

Glad to hear that it finally works.

30fps.

What the hell kind of minstrel shows have you been attending, David Duke?

Oh, it's only posted once before, when it announced five months ago it wouldn't be using Awesomemod any more because everyone here is SO MEAN.  I look forward to seeing what it has to bitch about in February.

I know I haven't been back in awhile, internet issuse, but the problem I was having is the same as Jessnova. I only have WA, and it downloads everything, but I can't pause it after the moving files line she caught, and after that it just closes. I tried it with the new update version, and it still runs and closes leaving nothing else opened. sorry if you fixed this and I don't understand how to make it work I really like this idea, I'm just too confused to make it work right

And we care why?

In this case, DON'T use it.  It really isn't that hard to manually check, download and install AM if it has been updated.

While working on the awetest version for the upcoming patch, I discovered an error in the installation folder detection for base game and World Adventures on 64-bit systems.
Updated to v1.8.1
Fixed issue with 64-bit base game and World Adventures.

Hi,

I just got a new computer with Windows 7 64bit and have installed Sims 3 with all of the EP's, SP's & Stuff packs so far. I had been using the Updater reviver when I had Sims 3 on XP without any problems, but now I can't get it to work, and Awesomemod won't even work without using the Reviver.

My Sims 3 folders are located in C:\Program Files (x86) and my "The Sims 3" folder is located in "C:\Valued Customer\My Documents\Electronic Arts (do I need to move this?).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If AwesomeMod doesn't even work without the Updater, I can tell you it WON'T work WITH the Updater. So, go and fix your mod locations.
Also, your signature annoys me.

It sounds like you haven't got the framework right, and AM will work fine without the updater if you have everything installed right.  If you had everything working on XP it shouldn't be that hard to get it right on Windows 7 as it is the same bloody arrangement.  If you move the stuff from documents (Windows 7 doesn't call it my documents) the game will regenerate them when you play, they are the default files for storing saved games, etc. the same as it was with TS2.

First I have to say this tool is a great help !, thank you.

I'm having the same error Bamble had and it wouldn't go away even though I did follow the instructions.
Is it because I only have HELS and AMB installed? If that's it, then I'm sorry for bothering you.

What version are you using? Which OS do you have? What does it do exactly? I can't help you if you don't tell me more about the problem.

[Pureness]

What version are you using?

my game is version 4.3.4.008001

Which OS do you have?

Windows Vista (x86)

What does it do exactly?

My problem is that "the system was unable to find the specified registry key or value"
and the game craches while loading (AMB).

[basbas]

If it starts the game, and the game crashes, it is framework fail. Or you are using the wrong AM version.

[Pureness]

I guess it's the AM then. I'll wait for the 4.3 update.

Thanks.

[basbas]

You don't need an AM update with version 4.3. Just use the normal non-test one.
v2.0awetest
New awetest version, compatible with Late Night.
Also many other changes, so I don't know if it works for everyone. See the Changelog for details.
If something goes wrong or doesn't work, please report it here. And provide me with INFORMATION.

Attachment deleted. Use v2.1awetest instead.

[Pureness]

I did, but my game still crashes at loading screen.
Whatever I do its still not working !.

Thanks anyway.

[basbas]

That has nothing to do with this Updater so this is not the right topic to discuss that.
v2.1awetest
- Improved deletion of scriptCache.package. See Changelog for details.

If something goes wrong or doesn't work, please report it here. And provide me with INFORMATION.

You're not having that problem.

[Torrasque]

Really? before i start it claims i have mods that dont work with my version. if i start anyway, it gets all the way to the end of the load screen, and it CTD. can you direct me to a way to fix it? i have the latest AM and if i delete it i can get through no problem.
