This has been happening to me for a while now, but since I reported it last I was able to update my computer to something a little nicer.  It seems that when I have AM installed, my sims will not do random things around the house on their own.  SC is fine and all, but it constantly tries to make them bathe the pets when put on random.  Without SC, they just stand there and will not even perform basic self maintenance even when on 100% free will.  Sometimes I just want my sims to be...  Well...  Sims.    Is there something I'm overlooking?  I love AM, but I also want the option to have my peoples just be random.

Otherwise, no issues...  Thank you, Pes.

I am having the same problem.

I just played for 12 hours straight. No crash, freeze or lag. Tons of CC, mods and AM installed. Only issues I have are the ones that's already been reported. The school is borked, property values, the interior designer career is busted, and derelict vehicles everywhere. There's even one stuck outside my sims house and I've ran towderelicts about 10 times and it only nabs the school bus but the others are left. Not sure how to get rid of those?

Had some weird EAxisness. My sim got an opportunity to do something at the stadium and he works there. He was about to enter the building for work when he got it and I accepted. After entering, the game said he had "left the venue where the event was taking place" and it had failed.

Also, random houses are catching on fire when my sim is not a firefighter. The game then informs me I have been credited X money for my damages when my house isn't even on fire. From what I can tell, I never actually get the money though.

Elders dying isn't apparently a function of aging, which is why it is not being caught by aging: Elders just randomly die.

Got warning at boot-up, loaded AwesomeMod-free saving... but it would it not load... at all. Through task manager it kept taking up RAM, then eventually loaded.
Only problem with me is that the 'Options' menu would not load up for me.

Awesome Mod touches a lot of stuff and EA has touched back.   It would not surprise me to find out that EA has looked over AM to see what it is up to and that may have caused them to put fixes in areas that AM makes changes.  I would not attribute this to malice because AM does fix bugs and may make changes in areas EA might find interesting.

One thing we now know they did was put in a version identifier so that they can detect when a core mod is out of date.  AM already includes a similar function but such function is not required for core mods.  EA has made it a little harder to run old core mods.  Once AM gets this set straight, that version mismatch dialog at the start will go away.

Seems that this new Patch/Ambitions and the changes to Mods has completely ruined AwesomeMod for functionality. Is there some big change that caused the mod to just break down like this? We didn't have the same problems with World Adventures did we?
