Title: AwesomeMod is, well, Awesome - New Version & Install
Post by: telavir on 2011 June 02, 22:37:47
It's been a while since I last used AwesomeMod. I have a few basic questions:
  • Will it work with everything up to Outdoor Living?
  • Which thread do I use for download?
  • Which thread do I use for install instructions?
I only ask because some of the threads don't look like they've been touched in a while.

In this order:
  • Not yet
  • The one stickied two threads above this called "AWESOMEMOD! SHINY! WIP - Download & Announcements"
  • The one stickied directly above this one called "HOW TO INSTALL THE FRAMEWORK AND AWESOMEMOD", though it's really just as easy as setting up the Custom Content framework and putting awesome.package in the "My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages" directory
A quick Google Search or even just a good dose of Lurkmoar can work wonders.

It isn't the EP/SP that you need.  AM isn't based on any specific EP/SP, it is based on patch, or version numbers.  If you have OLS and are not fully patched, then AM won't work.  If you have OLS and the base game is patched to 1.19, then the current AM is fine, if you are patched to 1.22 then you need to new test version, in which case as you really seem not to know what you're doing, I would suggest waiting until the testing is over.

Well my former posts in here might say I don't either, but that's due to not knowing aesomemod for long. However I would like to try out the test version, as my game can't seem to function without AM. So I might as well see if I can help out and get to play this way. Just one Question: I can't seem to find the testversion download anywhere, am I just confused here?

If you can't find the test version, you shouldn't be using it.

Yeah, my bad. I guess my brain got infected with the lysdexia, because I read that as "Generations" for some reason.

And here I just put mine in for a service, won't be back for at least a couple of days... I would say precisely, but, duh! The Crystal Ball is in for a service!

Incidentally, the test version is working just fine for me. No obvious bugs or glitches to report. Then again, I've hardly had time today to play, so that might explain the lack of observable data....

I don't know.....in my game, all the Generations features are there, but not functional.  The body hair is only available in TAB form, and the "capture moment" button doesn't work.  In fact, none of my sims will perform any action whatsoever.  Is anyone else having this problem?


....and my sims have no traits.

You have to pass an IQ test to use the test version.

Well I fail the IQ test too because in spite of prolonged searching I can't find a download for the purported and very secret "test version".
Unsure if this is even the correct version as I do NOT have Generations - but am all patched up. Would be grateful for relatively polite suggestions.

You aren't expected to understand local minds - they're obviously so much greater than yours. You were expected to understand rudimentary pathing (ie folder pathing) and how to follow local customs. I, for one, hope that somebody with moderator skills kills your post.

I was going to add that I hoped bad things happened to you - but I find that I don't actually care what happens to you.

As already stated by madame Mim you are expected to understand how folder pathing works.
You would then have been able to find the test folder without anyone's help.


I've never pretended to understand the logic of this board or its denizens, but I do happen to think the software here is the best. So BAH!


The logic is very easy to understand :
If you're not able to find the test version of AM by yourself you won't be able to test and report bugs properly.
You'll still ask for help when your game will get borked and instead of beeing helpful in the testing process you'll be a bother thus slowing said process.

That's why Matty denizens don't want the test version to be given to just anyone that want's it.

Dunno, we have a lot of ESL posters here, many  of whom manage to write English at least as well as, if not better than some, native speakers. The types of errors would seem to support the assertion. The points made are valid.

For those wondering I'm french, Doesn't excuse the mistakes though as I could have re-read once more and/or used a tool to check the spelling.
I was at work and didn't have enough time to do so.

My bad! I should have waited to be home as I fully know that proper grammar/spelling is expected when posting here.
Will do so next time.

Post by: witch on 2011 June 11, 12:58:06
Jezabel, your writing is great, you are not perfect but you have demonstrated a willingness to listen to corrections and learn - you write better than many for whom English is a first language. I know English has many grammar quirks and I am certainly no expert in that area, I have learnt much from MATY myself. I do know we cut ESL speakers a bit of slack so don't be shy about contributing.

Actually I've been helping a French student in the last few weeks to do an interesting project on phrasal verbs in English. I am his test subject for a survey he is developing. Apparently where English speakers might say things like; stand up, come in, hang out, threw up or got out, French speakers would use only a single word verb. He told me he started the project partly because he was never sure where to put the 'out' or 'up' or whatever, and that his tendency was to separate the two words and put the second one at the end of the sentence. This was new learning for me and very interesting, as I'd never heard of phrasal verbs before.

So yeah, I admire anyone who can speak/learn another language.

American or Brit, English it's as hard for us poor French.

Not only because some "two words" are "one word" for us and the other way around (cheap doesn't exist in France and it's  not only because of the economical crisis. The word doesn't exist we say "not expensive" or  literally "good market" (bon marché).

But that's not the most confusing.
The worst are "it" we only have feminine and masculine, we don't know what to do or when to use "it". 
And the way we phrase things.
You'll say UFO (unknown flying object) we say OVNI (objet volant non identifié = object flying not identified).

To be able to speak in another language the trick is to be able to think in that language. If you form the sentence in your mother tongue and then try to translate you'll fail.
When speaking it's highly impractical because it's very slow and when you write it's more manageable but you'll never be able to phrase things properly. You'll end up writing as if you used an online translator.

Anyway, thank you Witch, I'm happy to know that I'm not that bad and certainly will continue to post when I have something relevant to share.
I usually don't feel the need to post because what I have to say or ask has already been said or answered. It's just about looking in the right place.

I agree with witch- your grammar is quite good for someone learning it as a second language.  I can imagine it can be especially hard to learn English not only because of its complexity and inconsistencies but also because many people don't even agree on many things!  What you said reminded me of my experience when learning Spanish.  The way things are said is often different from English, and you have to think in Spanish and not just translate from English (a point my teacher stressed quite often).  I often made simple mistakes with gender agreement or verb conjugation, so I can't really be too judgmental when someone who is ESL makes simple mistakes in English.

I think you all speak remarkably good English for a bunch of foreigners.  :P

Of course, my English isn't perfect, but then, I've spent too much time in the US, or watching the myriad TV shows they export to over here, so I'm polluted, or corrupted, or possibly both. Either way I remain English. God save the language, because I do think we are on the slippery slope to a global tongue, and it won't be "English English".

Oh, and Jezabel, your English is way better than my French, so I don't think you have anything to worry about. I do try, but as you say, unless you can think in the language, you can't really speak it without messing up the flow of it. I can get by, but every Frenchman knows the minute I open my mouth that I'm English, even if I don't start my sentences with "Um..."

You might want to keep in mind that there are some "HEIL GRAMMAR types" pretty high up in the pecking order around here, so yeah.  And why "unwillingly"?  There's nothing wrong with knowing a second language.

TV shows, books and horse-riding trips around the world where all the other tourist were English are the ways I learned to speak it.

Some pointers on how to better integrate in french culture even if you don't speak it perfectly : throw some "merde !" here an there, complain about everything and be vocal about it and remember that french are always right just because they are french so don't try to argue with them.

Really, being french is not that hard even though speaking the language can be!

Of course then the question would be : who the heck would want to integrate in french culture when he doesn't have to ?  It's french !   ;)

I know there is a long-standing tradition in English to criticise all things French, but don't feel you, as a French person, have to be self-denigrating.  After all, the French have given the world a lot of things, such as wine that you can call either burgundy or claret, Quebec, and that thing where you spit after you say something to express displeasure.

Also, without there being real French people, English speakers could not do comedy in outrageous French accents.

Don't sell yourself short.

I don't sell myself and other French people short, I love a lot about France, French people and French culture, but I also know it's faults.

It's my non French side speaking.
That's the thing when you're bi-cultural, one side of you sometimes feels the urge to point and laugh at you other side.
The problem being that if you're living in the country of the side being laugh at it's hard to find people to share the fun.

Absolutely !
Sometimes it leads to very interesting though strange discussions with myself.
But it's not very often.

Of course  I won't stand someone else pointing and laughing at one of my countries even if I was doing the same myself only moments ago  ::)

Still I won't get upset, just won't be able to stand listening without pointing to the other side of the coin and telling about all the great things that also exist in said country.
In all fairness I'll probably even begin with "You're not wrong, but ...."

It's rather intriguing that this post morphed into a warm discussion regarding the hardships of ESL, considering how it started ;D
That said, I totally understand and respect you Jezabel. I've known english for more than half of my life, but it wasn't my native language either.

And I respect you more for French. God I gave that language up in one semester of high school.

You might want to keep in mind that there are some "HEIL GRAMMAR types" pretty high up in the pecking order around here, so yeah.

And EVERYONE should keep in mind that it's the Internet, and the Internet is made of antimatter and therefore who cares what a bunch of fake people (pecking order  ::) ) on a forum say?

Although I still encourage proper grammar.

It does appear that people who are having issues with the language get more airtime, at least of the positive thought, than people who ask what appear to be on-topic questions - this is, after all, a board about Sims 3, is it not?

But as I said, I do not pretend to understand the "logic" of this place.

Will 1.18 work with the current AM?

I don't think it was really that bad of a question considering how this thread was created.

Quote
It's been a while since I last used AwesomeMod. I have a few basic questions:
Will it work with everything up to Outdoor Living?
Which thread do I use for download?
Which thread do I use for install instructions?

Also wizard_merlin said you need the test version for 1.22 or 1.19 for the current one. However, the manual on the download page for the regular AM says 1.22.

You answered your own question, it works as said on the download page.

Since that post AM moved from the testing phase to general release.  This is something that happens all the time when a new patch is released, AM goes into testing while the general release contains the pre patch version of AM, when testing shows AM to be stable enough the general release gets updated to the new patch version, as happened this time.

When I installed a couple of new houses today, I got the message that awesomemod needed to be updated. I did. I went back in to install and got the message that

"It looks like you have installed an unofficial game modification that does not match your current version of The Sims 3. We recomment that you either uninstall these game modifications or get updated versions of them - otherwise you may experience crashes or significant bugs."

I've version 6.2.4 as I've yet to install Outdoor Living and I don't have Generations. Am I being required to install the new patch anyway? Considering the issues I've had with patches in the past, I am hoping to keep awesomemod AND my current patches. I've been using awesomemod for quite some time and I don't remember having this issue before but, since my headache was the 1.19 patch, perhaps I'd been updating patches before that mod and it not making much of an impression on me (considering the huge number of patches, thank you EA!).

Installed awesomemod 6/15/11...

Thanks for your help,

For fuck sake, the current version of AM requires 1.22 to work right.  It doesn't matter what fucking EP or SP you do or don't have, it is related to the base game version number, for which patches are available with or without any specific EP or SP

Do you feel better now? I'm tired of trying to get help and getting the curses and bad attitude. If you only put as much effort into helping as you do in showing yourselves to be small and having such fragile egos that you need to put others down, problems would be resolved much more quickly!

However, since I don't define myself by your tirades, I'd already patched my game (since the 1.19 patch screwed up my game for 2 months I was understandably reluctant to do this) and now the game won't load. Loads without AM - just sits on the load screen running tips with AM installed. I checked the "bug" thread but the wizard was his usual unhelpful, foul-mouthed self with an individual with a similar problem. I didn't use the updater - didn't know what it was until I read that thread but it doesn't seem as though it is necessary. I just updated AM the way I've always done, including running a new aweconf...

Now I'll run over to the bug thread and see if someone HELPFUL can assist me!

Well go the fuck away, then, because curses and bad attitude are the modus operandi around here.

Solving problems quickly is an assumption on your part that has no validity in reality, this site does not purport to be a helpdesk for eejits.

JM is remarkably patient in comparison to the rest of us. Have you had a very sheltered life then?

Frankly, I think you've screwed your chances there, but you may find a newbie mug or two who hasn't been ground down by the same questions endlessly repeated.

Indeed, George Carlin was one of the most imaginative men I've known of.

Oh dear, it sounds like you forgot to delete your caches--this can be done by dragging the Game/Bin folder for the base game (Sims 3) over to the trash bin and deleting it.  That should reduce the load-time and prevent your game from crashing.

Hope this helps, and sorry about all the swears! :)

Don't apologize. It's a sign of weakness.
