Crashing problems
YoungOldPrude:
Does anyone have any hints or suggestions? I am seriously unable to run my game for more than four minutes (and that's if I'm lucky) with AwesomeMod installed. Please, please, please! I know Jezzer likes to make the joke about the unlikelihood of people waiting with baited breath for replies, but damn it—I am! All of my old saves and projects utilize AwesomeMod in some way or another. I am not willing to run the game without it.
The only thing I can think of is that I never updated to 1.31, or 1.32—I used the Patch Downloader from MTS and went straight to 1.33. But I don't see how this can cause the problem, because the version of AwesomeMod I have was working fine with 1.33. Well, I did have a lot of crashing, but not to this extremity. This four minute lifeline only started after I installed Showtime.
So somebody please tell me: Was updating to 1.33 before buying and installing Showtime a bad decision? Would it cause this ceaseless crashing? If so, what do I do? I still have my 1.29 backup. Do I go back to that and install Showtime right off, then use the Patch Downloader, or do I go back to 1.29 and do something else? Please tell me.

I was having severe problems after I updated to the bodgy 1.32 patch. I then d/l the super patch to 1.33 and my game was really unstable. I was crashing every 10-15 minutes. In the end I had to do the good old reinstall and, so far, the game appears to be OK with no crashes. I figured something had become irretrievably corrupted what with all the different patches lately. When I reinstalled I went through all the SPs and EPs in order, then applied the 1.33 super patch at the end.
Edit: Mind you, I'd also been swapping back and forth between Moryrie's packages and the sims3packs. This may have caused issues in addition. Also, I haven't yet tried my old save game.
YoungOldPrude:
Thank you so much for replying, witch!
Okay. I just started to download the super patch, but I would like to clarify.
I uninstall everything, then I reinstall (in proper release date order) all of my EPs and SPs. But throughout all this I DO NOT touch the Patch Downloader from MTS? Instead, I finish my reinstalling, and then I use the Super Patch for 1.33. Is this correct?
witch:
Well, all I can say is that's exactly what I did. Each EP still does a patch-type update and that's mostly why I did them in order.
I'll move these posts to a thread of their own, as they're unlikely to be awesomemod bugs.
YoungOldPrude:
I did everything you said: it worked perfectly! I admit that I did just run into my first crash—but as it took place after an hour and a half of gameplay, I'm not complaining.
The mighty Crash Log Analyzer told me that updates were available for WA, AMB, LN, and HELS, so I did allow the game to patch after that. It remains to be seen whether this will create more devastating repercussions, but I feel lot a more confident about the process of uninstalling now.
Since I have now been able to explore Showtime a little bit, I have come to the conclusion that the best of part of this extremely glitchy game is the fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Elvis be praised!
Thanks again, witch.
