???I have had a problem and I don't know if you can help me but I figured I would ask. My Sim keep becoming invisible. I don't know why it happens. Also my entire Sim family's skills are gone. like i go to slick on the skills bar and the entire box is empty. There are no skills at all like not even the names of the skills just an empty box. My Sims keep getting stuck and are not able to move and my maid is invisible as well. PLEASE HELP!

HELP ME! I'M TOO DUMB TO SEARCH! STOP MAKING FUN OF ME! WHIIIIIIINE! NO, I'M NOT BUTTHURT! CAN'T YOU TELL? I'M LAUGHING! WHY WON'T YOU BELIEVE I'M LAUGHING! WHIIIIIIIIIIIINE!

I'm glad you asked that. My answer happens to be, yes, yes they should. Why, you ask?
Well, this is why, my friend, Jeeves.

Per se is a perfectly acceptable way of spelling it. Spoken by the people in the Urban Dictionary.   While it may not be your definition of *correct*, it is still perfectly acceptable. I will still be loved if I use it out in general public, even if you, Jeeves, do not appreciate or love me for it.  

Edit to add:

Now that we've got that out of the way, is there anyone who might be interested in saying something a bit more..... helpful? I have learned that I am retarded, along with another friend who happened to share my disability quite equally, here on this forum.

Though it is not in my nature to be unkind, I happen to have no issue giving back any sh*t that is slung in my direction. Once it's slung, it's fair game, and so are you. Plus, I don't take it personally and even enjoy a good bout of banter.  

Anyway, I'd still love some information. Perhaps we can mix a little useful information into our commentary? What say you? What say we? Per se, smart-arse and so forth? Amen?

I have arrquired my copies of Sims 3 and WA, both Region 2, and updated them manually all the way to the latest patches of 1.12.70.006002 and 2.7.7.006002.  Everything was fine, and AwesomeMod worked great.  Now enter, HELL -- as in, High End Loft.  The booty version I arrquired on my latest sea voyage turned out to be Region 1 which installed just fine.  Updating, on the other hand, is not fine.  I have version 3.0.38.004001 and I am trying to update manually to 3.1.7.004001 and I get the following:

"Update Error: File Not Found"

Would've been nice if it told me what file was missing, but I wouldn't expect as much from EA.  I've tried using "PatchLogViewer" to see if it would give me some kind of idea, but it says all is well.  I've searched up and down and across Google, but didn't find anything helpful.  I've searched here and I found one possible solution to copying the "bin" folder from the HELS image over to the hard drive, but that didn't work out.

Has anyone found away around this?  I'm not overly concerned, because I can just reinstall everything and try HELS again at an earlier patch version or just not bother with it at all.  It would be nice if I could find a way to avoid all that, though.

Nope, it isn't on the thread I downloaded AM from. I did eventually find a thread that DID give a link to the aweconfig site to generate the package file.

For those of you who so ENJOY calling us tards and idiots and all sorts of lovely names because we are looking for help, finding answers isn't as easy as you deem it to be. There are any number of ways you can word your search and just as many times will come up with completely different results. Don't assume that we've NOT spent hours going through the forums (on several sites) or Googling until our fingers bleed. Don't assume that typing in a reasonable phrase will magically give us exactly the thread we need. Don't assume that your insults and coarse language will send us scurrying in fear and set us on the straight and narrow path because most of us truly have done the footwork and still come up empty-handed.

So, no thank you Tever for your unwillingness to help and be sure YOU get your facts straight before dealing out the sarcasm.

I would NEVER insult, call names nor any other number of juvenile responses I see being spat out by those who REALLY feel a sense of entitlement. I think Freud called this type of response "projecting"!

Sorry if I'm coming across as an idiot, which I am not, but I've been all over this site and several others trying to find out where in the world I can get the Aweconf.package file. I understand it is necessary if you want to change any of the default options in Awesomemod...at least that's what is seemed like from the 9 page Readme I printed out that is a terrific volume of information regarding what the Mod does but doesn't seem to explain how to change it, leading me to assume ( I know, ass u me) that the aweconf file will take care of it nicely. I downloaded the mod yesterday and the only thing that came with the file was the awesome.package file. Oh... I finally got the game to load with the mod but this seemed like an easy/active thread to beg the question... :-)

Thanks!

@twoftmama,
is there a chance you could upload twinbrooks with cribs too?

Well...God damn it...-_-

I know, necromancy is not cute, tits or GTFO, I know. I just have one thing to ask. I will not even try to get into details about patching with this latest stupid patch, but trust me when I say - X.x Long story short - could somebody please be so kind to upload the TSHost.dll file from the Ambitions CD (not the one you have on your HD - that one is probably already patched, so I`d have no use for it). My .iso image of AMB somehow mysteriously lost it, and now I can`t install it, and b/c I can`t install it, I can`t patch and...well, you know. We all got the same mind fuck from EA...

So, if anyone is reading this and has 2 minutes of spare time...yea. I`d appreciate the shit out of that.

I wasn't offended,
