I dunno. Here's one for you; what's the difference between reading a manual and posting a really stupid question on a fairly hostile forum?

Considering there are detailed descriptions of what exactly Awesomemod is and what it does on this very site that you're apparently too lazy to look up, that's about as friendly and helpful as anyone is going to get.  Run along, little noob.

So, are we to assume that you are going to soup, "supah" noob? Because that would be GRATE.

Not only are you a n00b, you're a fucking annoying n00b.

And to answer your question, AwesomeMod isn't fucked up like EA Story.

I know! I know! This is one of those joke riddles for 6s, isn't it?

My favourite one when I was a 6 was:

Q: What is the difference between a duck?

A: One of its legs is both the same!

I know you will tell us the answer eventually.

I use it because it makes story progression make a whole lot more sense than EA's version. There are illogical functions on the one EA has and Awesome Story makes the game move more realistically. I've used it for quite a while and believe me there are more updates and patches on this one than EA bothers with. I came here because an EA phone rep actually made suggestive comments leading me here (believe it or not).

So far its worked for me. I don't really post here because they scare me on this forum so I keep my newbie mouth shut and try to read as much as possible. I just felt sorry for you. I've got to go now before they come for me too :-\

On the contrary, this is a relatively civil thread, considering it started with a question.

Flame me all you want, I will not be back to read it.  I just want to say it would be nice if there was a place we could ask reasonable questions and get reasonable answers.  Are you all so ignorant that you really think frequenting an internet forum makes you a superior being?

No, it's being a superior being that makes me a superior being.  Frequenting an internet forum where I can flame noobs is just gravy.

Oh, I like this game.

-Gosh but I shore do feel SUPERIOR.  but I's reely D-U-M!

Wow, you're right!  Too bad you won't be back to read this.  

Hey Guys, I had a breakthrough!  I'm going to be soooo nice from now on.  It'll make you fucking puke.

Maybe if you, and the other idiots, actually asked reasonable questions, you would get decent and reasonable answers. 

If you don't want to search and read what is already posted, then fuck off to the BBS or any other forum that doesn't mind the same shit being asked by a dozen or so arseholes one after the other all in their own brand new thread because they want to feel so special and have their hand held through the entire process.

I dunno. Here's one for you; what's the difference between reading a manual and posting a really stupid question on a fairly hostile forum?

The only problem with that is that the Awesome Story progression isn't really in the manual. I looked. The only real mention of Awesome Story in the manual is:
Quote
STORY MODE FEATURES:
1.  Awesome Story Driver [Optional - Default: Enabled]
     Enables the experimental AwesomeMod Story Driver, replacing the EA driver.

I had the same question a while ago and it took several searches to find the answer I was looking for, when really, it should have been as simple as reading the manual and reading how Awesome Story Progression is superior to EA Story Aggression. If there isn't going to be any sort of addendum to the manual regarding how Awesome Story works and why it is superior to the default, then perhaps a stickied thread or something somewhere so that people don't have to dig through piles of crap (namely, posts just like this one) to find the answer they're looking for would be a good idea. AwesomeMod FAQ maybe? I dunno, but it certainly is frustrating when you have a question about something, so you do searches and can't really find anything but the same question being asked by someone else and the asker getting flamed by everyone else.

Thanks for volunteering to write it up. I will add it somewhere obvious when you have done so.

I would if I was qualified. As it stands now, however, that would involve digging through a whole lot more crap than I care to.

after spending way too much time complaining about how unhelpful people are here, you couldn't even help the guy yourself with the answer you found.

Of course not. I had to dig through all that shit to find what answers I got; He has to do the same.

Then why are you bitching about the answer not being readily available?  You can't have it both ways.

Post by: cryystal on 2010 October 31, 20:13:36
the ones who don't know the difference could try running each one and comparing them, oh sorry that would take brains tho!

I love reading the posts on here and so true if you don't know the answer search for it and invariable it can be found-personally I'm really glad you guys have skills I don't and actually make playing Sims a more enjoyable and interesting experience.

Right that's me back in the shadows !

Just a non-sequitur thought: is there any way of telling the difference between stupid n00bs and amateur-hour trolls pretending to be stupid n00bs for easy laughs?  (I suspect the answer is no (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Poe%27s+Law).)

I hope you'll be back to read this anyway. I don't have an answer to your question but I can still help you to find out what the difference is.

First, play a few weeks or months with awesomemod. Note: first with awesomemod. Then remove it and play. You'll notice the difference in a few hours if you pay any attention to anything. Actually, it works so well you might not even see the difference but somehow the gaming experience has turned a little less frustrating.

If you have trouble understanding the manual, maybe you could ask someone to read it with you and explain? After all, supposedly it's a grown-up who develops the mod and writes the manual - and grown-ups tend to use fine words and expressions to show they are somewhat educated.

I think these people are only hostile for the fun of it (I'm sure they have only ran wild with anonymity and aren't quite this way IRL). Don't mind them 'cause you're here for the mods, not making friends.

I'm seriously hoping you're ESL. What you are saying is that Awesomemod story mode is frustrating to play and EA story mode is less so.

To me, it appears the example is intended to show just how fucked up story gets upon removing AM, thus offering a compelling reason to keep it installed (besides everything else also awesome about it, obviously).

Most funny are those, that stop reading after the first point of the RTFM, and complain not to be told what comes next.
