I see that it does mention "Awesome" quite a lot, which I assume means something is going wrong with the mod. How do I fix the "Microsoft.VisualBasic" or "Story Driver Initialization Error!" issue and what is causing this?
If it helps, I'm running Windows 7 x64.
I had another mod framework (not AwesomeMod) that worked, except it disabled the mouth sliders (I'm not certain if that was just an issue with some of the various body sliders that insert into the mouth category). Thus, I've tried to put in a different one to see if it fixes that problem. Now I just get stuck at the loading page (though it is clearly working because the nointro.package is working) with this error.
Vermilion:
Stuck at the loading page? FRAMEWORK FAIL. Check to see whether you have installed AM correctly. I remember with the old framework, if you didn't have the d3dx9_31.dll file, you couldn't run core mods, but other mods would work fine. I don't know about the new framework, though.
ETA: By the way, I don't think you quite get what a mod framework is. The framework is the set of folders and files that you need to run mods in the first place. The new, EA-sanctioned framework contains a mods folder in the My Docs game folder with the Resource.cfg file and the Packages folder.
Nile:
I have the C:\Users\MY NAME\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder set-up as instructed with resource.cfg in the Mods folder.
I wonder if the problem might be that I have the base game updated to 1.15.34/2.10.5/3.6.6/4.0.87 instead of 1.14/etc... as stated to be the compatibility in the rtfm.txt file... and the fact that for some bizarre reason I cannot get Ambitions to update at all even with manual patches. The base game wouldn't update (but the two middle ones did!) until the other expansion installs updated the former.
I just tried the Awesome Mod updater, but running as Administrator and it made the game load with the fps limiter, etc... It also said that it moved 1 file. Was this what I did wrong before? Ah, never mind. It's still stuck at the loader. Much faster, though.
I will attempt to reinstall the framework again.
Vermilion:
If 1.15.34/2.10.5/3.6.6/4.0.87 is the sequence of numbers you see on the Launcher, then the game should already BE patched.
ETA: I suggest using Delphy's Framework Installer at MTS2. You can get it here: http://nene.modthesims.info/download.php?t=384014. You'll need to register, though.
Nile:
(I'm already registered.) I tried Delphy's Monkey Bars and it said that the installation appears okay.
Should I do a complete do-over of the installation?
