Awesome Mod for 1.36

<< < (2/4) > >>

Eeyore:
Oh, for fuck's sake. This happens with every bloody patch. AM is always updated to the latest game patch and any previous versions are unsupported. Therefore you always need the latest patch to use AM. However, there is often a delay (and don't fucking ask, "How long?") between patch release and AM update. During this interval you have three options:

1. Wait to patch your game until the updated version of AM is released.
2. Patch the game and play without AM until the updated version of AM is released.
3. Patch the game and wait to play until the updated version of AM is released.

If you don't know what version of AM you have, look at the rtfm or AM file's date.

Beta,

It is not safe to continue to use an AM version that is not compatible with your current patch. In my (comparatively limited) experience, it could cause serious damage to your save games and generally muck things up.

Your best bet if you want to continue to play TS3 under the 1.36 patch during the intermittent period between patches and AM updates is to use Nraas Mods. They offer similar features, but are broken down into piece mods instead of being all inclusive like AM. Nraas has a page comparing the two here: http://nraas.wikispaces.com/Awesome

If you want to use AM safely, you'll have to reinstall TS3 and only patch up to 1.34.

Because AM is such a complex and integrated core mod, it could take some time to update. And, of course, J.Pescado has a life outside of TS3.

And no, you couldn't have another core mod (with the exception of Nraas ErrorTrap) because "THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE".

Cheers

Woah, woah. There's ANOTHER patch now? Hang on, gimme a few minutes to track it down and patch it. The process of doing a patch doesn't actually take "hours" or "days", it just requires that I notice the patch. Expansions take longer, but patches never take more than a few minutes, tops, most of which consists of letting the computer chew. I sort of anticipated that patches would be nightmarish otherwise and took care of the issue early on with a tool.

Hmm, thought I had already thanked for all of your help, but the post seems to have vanished - so here it goes again :)
The new version works without the error message :)

It wasn't vanished, it was moved.  Pointless "thank you" posts are frowned upon.  If you feel like you'll spontaneously combust if you don't thank someone right this second, there's a convenient "Thanks" button.
