Just to confirm, I also suffer from the blue lot insanity.

1.) I don't have WA yet, it started happening right after I patched to 1.7.
2.) It happened both with an old save and a new game
3.) I only have CC dating from before the patch and WA release.
4.) Interesting titbit but possibly a red herring, since I could be very wrong: I seem to remember that at first it was only the Museum of Art that was affected. I zoomed in, went huh?, and after I saved my game most of the lots in my hood were affected. Now I could be remembering it wrong (although I don't think so), but could this maybe have something to do with the "riddler fix" that the patch was supposed to do? When I get back home I'll test that and report back.

EDITED TO ADD:
I also have a problem where every single thing that used to be in my sims' inventories, bookcases and fridges just AWOL-ed the first time I started up after patching (so yes, old game). Dunno if it's connected to this or just to my own stupidity, but investigations are continuing.

O hai pot, meet kettle! Kettle may be stupid, but POT is so damn slow, he thinks that Huricane Katrina is on its way in.

Did this occur round-about 1am (sims time)? Because if it did, I'm gonna be over here, laughing my ass off. (Edited to add quote)

You are too stupid to use mods in your game. So sorry to have to be the one to inform you of this.

Sorry, too late. Holy mother of fuck, can you not SEARCH? Can you not READ? Are you too retarded to even read this very thread you're posting in, the VERY POST you downloaded the newest version of AM from, or the rest of this sub-forum you're posting in, or even the rest of the fucking forum? This has been addressed AD NAUSEUM! FYCL!

This is especially lulzy if one actually READS their "privacy" policy (or the Cocunut post about it).

TSR has released a news item on this issue, and plan to command their battlefield of lolyers to investigate this "libel":


I have nowhere seen that anyone said that this list was leaked from the TSR database? Coconut's words on this, and I quote:

First:
THEN

Looks to me like they're trying to deflect attention away from the issue by saying "Well, it didn't come from our database, so of course we couldn't have done it, and now we'll sue the pants of you for saying that we leaked our database!" which was, in fact, never even said, while conveniently ignoring the actual accusation: TSR (or someone high up, working for them) hacked into an online petition, which is where the names come from, and then distributed those names with malicious intent!

Stupid TSR is stupid.

Yes we do care about the punctuation, since your lack of it makes your previous posts illegible. If you can't even be bothered to punctuate your request, why the hell should we be bothered to try helping?

Does your computer run any system-intensive (or even moderately intensive) background applications while you play TS3? Something like an over-zealous antivirus could cause the random lags.

Answers: It will most certainly have to be updated for WA, seeing as just the newest patch is already reported to be causing crashing issues with AM. Also, yes, there have been updates since 20 October. Just because they are not posted doesn't mean they don't exist. One should download and replace AM at least once a week. For more on this, see Mr. Search Button.

Are you using any other mods at all? If "yes", proceed to the next part. If "no", state this and stay on the line.

If you want to know whether it is, in fact, Awesomemod related or not, try removing ALL of your CC and ALL of your mods, and just installing Awesomemod. If the problem persist, return and state that. If the problem does not recur, it is not AM-related. Start weeding out potential mod-conflicts by adding one mod to AM at a time and testing to see if problem returns.

As far as I understand, Awesomemod optimizes sim/object interactions so that the sims go to the nearest object that will fulfill the need. Whether the nearest shower is the cheap one or the expensive one won't make any difference, the sim won't take that into account at all - and besides, the moodlet is so minor, I would think that the time saved by this fix more than makes up for it in the long run.

Double posting is BAAAAD! See that "modify" button? Learn it, use it, love it.

Regarding troubleshooting your problem: Do you have "UseIndieStoneDriver" enabled or disabled in the config? If you want to use the IndieStone story driver, you need to have that option enabled in the config, and Awesome Story Driver disabled. This is how it is by default, though, but I'd just check to make sure that story drive conflicts and stuff isn't your problem.

Also, did you make sure the problem is AwesomeMod related? If you take out ALL mods and CC, do your sims age normally? If you put back ONLY AwesomeMod, do you again encounter this problem?

You could also try to clear all caches, see if that doesn't help.

Did you READ THE FAQ? Because it's hard to take you seriously when you're typing in verrah youneeque speshal colourz. It makes me want to start shouting.

Also, of the possible fixes mentioned in this thread, what have you tried? My telepathy device seems borked today.

Check out this thread, first and second posts contain the two downloads, instructions for use and useful informations.

Eeeeh, Maracarena! Lulz was had.

I didn't realize that no changing table = no roasting babbies! Babby BBQ? DO WANT! Idiotic butthurt EAxis.

My simspawn's head is enlarged with the learnings of how to use the potty to such a degree that the custom hair on top of the head just vanishes.

Or did Mommy Dearest rub it off?
