Frozen at the load screen (and queue that 'Grease' song to give my post a tune)
ERAsammy:
Yes, I have checked many times over for this exact question. I've found things around the same realm, but never this exact question. And I've followed every troubleshooting step I've found. I started just running through the newest posts (10 pages?), then gave up and advanced search-ed. Still, no luck. I am a lurker and despise posting new posts, but I am desparate for a chunk of awesome in my game.
I have 3booter/fps limiter, I have Delphy's monkey, I have all of the framework (and in the correct places, too!) I think that answers all of the regular 'install these first' hints.
I have The Sims 3 base game, WA, and HEL installed. Yes, that's right, no Ambitions. So The New Way is an obsolete theory for me. The game is patched to the latest (3.5.8) and I have triple-checked for a new patch, I'm good.
I have taken out all of my other CC (not just the mods, but every drop of CC), except for Awesomemod.
I play on Windows 7, with my game installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3
The game and expansions are legit copies, so is completely clean. No torrenting.
I think that's all the details I can provide about my game. So onto the question!Without awesomemod (and with my huge pile of CC in) my game works perfectly fine, all the mods in perfect working order. No crashes or bugs, just the occasional lag moment. Taking out all CC and putting the newest version of awesomemod in (I've redownloaded it many times in the past two days, just to quadruple-check). Starting the game using 3booter (desktop shortcut), it pulls up the loading screen like normal, but will not budge on the loading bar. There is not a drop of green, just a grey bar. The first three times, I waited patiently for an hour until my computer went into automatic stand-by, and it was still just straight grey.
I can't be happy without my awesome, but I'm at a stand-still. Even if I could live without the changes, I need that silly slider extender! Oh, I do not have the enablescripterror in my files anywhere, either (did a search!)

Of course. ::) Every Speshul Snowflake insists that their problem is different!

No it isn't. SEARCH MOAR. The new way applies to ANY install as long as it is patched to the latest patch for whatever game version you are running.
Speaking of obsolete, that Delphy monkey tool is obsolete.
ERAsammy:
I understand that you elitists think that cruelty is the best policy, but the arrogance and mass superiority complex shine much brighter than your intelligence. And is name-calling truly necessary? I realise that this is 'More Awesome Than You', but honestly, how awesome are cocky internet fiends that criticize others for lacking small amounts of knowledge? I'll continue to believe that the 'awesome' people are those who are a little less judgemental. I'm going to assume it took you less than three minutes to type that message, although it could have taken less than thirty seconds without the insult.
Yet, I do appreciate your actual answer. I have read that with Ambitions, the new mod system has been implemented. I apologize for missing a vital piece of information, though I have been scouring these forums for the past three days (I assume a total of nine to eleven hours reading, and testing the possible fixes). I'll look, with more detail, into this new system. Thank you.
May I ask, why do you disagree with Delpy's monkey? It has continued to add my basic mods and CC perfectly. Is there something I am not aware of pertaining to this issue?
wizard_merlin:
You didn't say what version the rest of the games were at.
This has been covered so many fucking times before. It is either framework fail, or patch fail.
Pull your head out of your arse, stop believing that you have the framework setup just right, and go through it again. If everything was right, your game would be fucking working, as it isn't working it isn't fucking right.
As Motoki said, the new method for the mods is patch specific, NOT EP specific, therefore if your game is patched properly, the new method will work.
