AwesomeMod for 1.42/Seasons?
Madame Mim:
I'm feeling helpful today, so here goes.
AM is a file designed to modify the behaviour of the game (and it's expansions) known as 'The Sims 3'. If alters the behaviour of the game either to 'fix' a perceived error or to add a functionality that was not previously available (you should already know this, or why did you download it in the first place).
As errors are discovered or desirable features decided on, Pescado updates his file and releases it to us in testing or release versions. The one you can see in the Awesome Mod Forum is the release version. EA does a similar set of updates to the game based on their own criteria as to what is an error and/or desirable.
AM expires so that you are forced to update it, and not come around complaining about things that are already fixed and implemented. The game is patched (or not) on EA's schedule. It is important that, when EA releases a new patch or Expansion Pack, you make sure that you can access an AM that is compatible with your game or cease using it until such equality is re-established. EA does not take AM into consideration when it updates (or, indeed, any game mods) so conflicts arise.
Now, take your new found knowledge and ponder and treasure it.

That was very nice of you, thank you for explaining. :) It actually did make a lot of stuff clear to me now. Off I go to show off now. ;D

Avalikia, but I was forced to update my game, because when I started playing the game a message said "OMG AM EXPIRED :0 !"
The latest AM version for 1.39 would have expired mid-november, actually. There was no need to patch to 1.42 yet. Always check for updates, not just when a new patch is released. Unlike EA, the FOJ maintains his mods.

WUT!?
I always have problems with the Launcher. Sometimes it comes to me that I should throw my new laptop against a wall. (The problem is, when downloading incremental patches; the process always fails. So therefore I need to download the Superpatcher. The Superpatcher for 1.39 is around 1GB, and it fixes ONE TINY FREAKING BUG that could be prevented by downloading "No Zombies" mod. Oh, and EA mentioned, "Too bad you'll have to scrap ALL of your saves that have the problem." (The patch has been released around 2 weeks after the 1.38 patch, so therefore if someone plays the game superfast, they could've reached 4th generation of their family. Fuck you EA. Thank you Pescado, Twallan and other wonderful people.))
Bottom line, I skipped the patch because a) didn't have the problem in the first place; b) didn't want to throw away 1GB for literally nothing. (Turned out it's AM I'm throwing away.)
Another thing, I couldn't wait for the SSN patch because it brings swimming in the ocean, blueprints, diving board, bald haircuts and eyebrows... without even installing Seasons itself. (Actually, it wouldn't surprise me that EA put weather in the patch. They put so much in the patch.) :D
So is it really true? :o That AM for 1.42 could come out mid-november?

Don't use the launcher to patch. Use the patch downloader available at MTS.
AM will come out when it's ready. Pescado has a good track record for getting new versions of AM out quickly following patches & EPs, but sometimes it can take a little longer depending on what EA have screwed up.
