Question: with these latest two updates, IS AM actually breaking? Mine seems to be working, apart from the warning when game loads?
That would be good to know definitively. I know that in the past, whenever there was a patch, AM would work for a short time before it would quit completely. If it still works, I guess we'll have to wait and see if we only get a grace period or if it is all still good. I got the warning and just "Quit" as I don't know if it would bork the save or not. Didn't think to play on through. Might have to save my game file yet again and see what happens. And wouldn't wish anyone's house would be set on fire-that's just silly! And it doesn't help anyone at all with the question as to whether or not AM will work with this patch.
BTW, I went into my game today and I'm at 1.69.43 (was 1.69.42), even though I selected the option to not install the update and play anyway. Apparently I have no control whatsoever. Oh well, no surprise there.... :)

Thanks Columbia.
I suppose what I really need to know is HOW CAN I TELL if it's working?
ETA OK I can do Showconfig. That works.
From reading around it looks as if the main purpose of the "patches" is to 1) lock us into Origin for starting the game, and 2) to lock us into Origin for buying store points - naturally more expensively than the points available from the Store. Since I never buy Store points, it looked fairly safe.
Mine did update, and yes, willy-nilly, like yours Columbia. I made the decision to carry on playing with this save and hope it's okay.
It isn't quitting out - but, really, is there no way to tell?
Game crashes frequently but then my game does anyhow. I DO play with CC, but even playing without ANY CC including AM it still crashes, so I'm none the wiser.
Oh and Jezzer, go jump in a pond.

You're using Origin, which voids your warranty. No one is going to feel sorry for you.
On a side note, I had one of those moments where something that was painfully obvious finally dawned on me; of COURSE Titlights uses Origin. Installing it is the stupidest thing anyone can do with their gaming computer.
ETA: Okay, may it's not the number one, all-time stupidest thing, but it's certainly top five.

I know...sometimes it cracks me up that more time is spent with snide remarks, including Starler apparently, than it would take to merely answer a legitimate question!
As for AM, I know that one of the functions it provides is to automatically turn on Testing Cheats. I don't remember if it did "BuyDeBug" but Nraas has a mod that turns it on. Right now (without AM) I have to enable Testing Cheats. I guess if you can put AM in the game and click on the mailbox and have those options come up, AM should be working. Again, my question was whether this was like before when there was a grace period after a patch before AM would no longer run. The answer to that would be a more appropriate use of a reply.
As for Starler, I've no idea what in the world you are going on about. It certainly didn't have anything to do with the question we had but merely seemed a soapbox opportunity. Warranty? What? I bought most of my games from Origin so I've no idea what that is all about. Calling people stupid is rude and pointless, especially when it is nothing more than your opinion. And, with you being so smart, what is the answer to the actualy question?
Sita, if you are having problems with your game (other than the AM update), you need to post elsewhere, like EAs forum. There is obviously something going on with your game/PC and maybe those people over there would be happy and willing to help you out!

Since when does Origin void the warranty? Warranty on WHAT exactly? Starler talking rubbidge as usual. Sounds like that virus that was going to - lessee - sour your milk, make your BF go off with the milkman, and cause an avalanche in Hawaii?
Columbia, I think you'll find the EA Sims 3 forums are closed for posting. They're only interested in Sims 4 now. Never found much help there, apart from Writin' Reg, who was a hero.
Oh and this

D'oh. This IS MATY! That's why we come here. Most of the time it's very amusing. But Starler's not very good at it.
