From Pescado's warning, it would appear not.  I suspect, from a very uneducated point of view, that Supreme Commander alters game files in some way that would cause VBTs if AwesomeMod were no longer present.


(bolding mine)

If you don't enable Supreme Commander, you can just remove the hack and all will be fine.  However, according to the posts in the AwesomeMod thread, enabling Supreme Commander pretty much means you have to keep AwesomeMod in, or risk completely borking your game.  

What Emma said.

There are a few things that aren't marked as skill building, such as almost all of the children's books.  Off the top of my head, kids can develop writing, logic, and art skills by reading the toddler books, but you don't really discover it until they start skill building as children or higher.  For example, when a child that read the appropriate (or appropriate number of?) books as a toddler merely clicks on a computer, their writing skill jumps to level 3 or 4 instantaneously, with a message that it's a result of their toddler reading habits.  Logic goes to level 4 instead of the level 3 that can be reached through the peg box.  All the books in the Children section of the bookstore with the exception of the Jimmy Sprocket books appear to carry some sort of skill building benefit.

Too bad she didn't say something to that effect on the download page, or in the readme. Beta testers are much more helpful when they know they're beta testing.

Does anyone know of an existing Flame Fruit plant in Riverview?  My poor Sim has had a wish to grow one for about 3 Sim weeks, but I can't seem to find one, and I'm not getting lucky with the seeds.

There's not much to do wrong - you stick the mod in the folder and load the game.  It is very definitely borked.

That's what makes them boring.  They're pretty much just see-through Sims, with no neat, ghostly quirks.  Fine as Sims, boring as ghosts.

That might be down to my suckitude at making Sims... Even with Maxis hair she has a highish forehead.  The Peggy hair does seem to accentuate it though.

Does anyone know whether adding more than one of a particular rabbithole causes any issues?  I'm thinking specifically of schools - even in a mildly populated hood, there are significant bottlenecks with students getting into the school each day.  I am wondering whether adding another school would fix that at all.

Just to confirm, this appears to be repeatedly crashing my game.  After crashing, I tried removing the mod and deleting caches, but it continued to crash on loading.  I could only get the game to load by adding the mod back in.  I changed the hair back to an EA mesh and removed the mod, so hopefully that's the end of that.

Works just fine for me, no crashing in Build or Buy mode yet.  And it's prettier than I expected. I hadn't actually planned to keep this hair on her, but now I just might.

Edit:  I should have known.  After using it for hours, I suddenly crashed, and I've never had an in-game crash before.  I'm trying again to rule it out as a fluke, because I really do like the way the hair looks on this Sim.

I have a feeling they don't see that as a bug, but as a "feature".  Which is why I'm not even bothering with the patch - Pescado has already fixed the actual bugs, as well as the ones EA put in on purpose.

I found a way to shortcut this which I knew I should have written down, but I believe it was something like doing the familyfunds cheat, going through the steps of merging them into a household, but then cancelling, which updated their funds.  I'll try it again when I start up the game and see if I am remembering correctly.Can't seem to replicate this, so ignore my idiotic ramblings.

The game resets community lots every day at 3am.  All garbage poofs, items stolen by klepto Sims have a chance of returning.  There was an early build of AwesomeMod that seemed to bork this but the problem has long been fixed.

Would you be willing and able to extend that to repairs? It annoys me that my skilled tinkerers get told off for lending a helping hand by fixing stuff at other Sims' homes.

I believe there is a level of chance involved in whether stuff gets regenerated each night.

I wonder if it's similar to the skilling-by-TV bug that I spotted once.  If a Sim was watching, say, the cooking channel, and another Sim sat down to play video games, the skilling Sim would keep skilling.  Even as they went around doing other things, they'd be gaining skill.  Perhaps there is the same sort of bug at play here, where the action doesn't get closed cleanly, and so keeps on going, blocking all other social progress.

Have you tried resetsim to see if that fixes it?

I'd say it's fair game.

Correct.  None of the metrics are hard-and-fast requirements, just contributors (or detractors) from overall work performance.  With all other factors maxed, and especially with perks like "Multi Tasker" stacked on, even having one factor at the lowest level won't keep you from progressing through the career.

Heh, paranoia.  Not all Youtube links are Rickrolls.

What jobs have a friend count requirement?  I haven't tried all the career tracks through to the end, but I have never seen a friend count requirement.  The most I have seen is a "relationship with coworkers/boss" requirement.

Impossible to tell without any details about your laptop.  Does it meet the minimum requirements listed on the game?

I have no clue what this means.

I just installed the newest build and the lag issue seems much better.  Had I not been watching 1am come and go, I might not have noticed the tiny hiccup that occurred.  That's especially remarkable considering the game itself is running really slowly for me because my computer really needs to be rebooted.  I tested two nights in a row.

I'm talking to the walls.  This has been discussed (to friggin death) in the Request thread.

The changes that are causing the lag are new.  Therefore the lag is new.  You didn't experience before 2 days ago, because the Story Progression changes didn't exist before 2 days ago.
