Same issue. I've been playing sims 3 fine with AM for a while... really is an essential mod. Then this stupid June 21st message came up and it won't even let me play anymore. I don't even know how Awesomemod did this... the computer I play on isn't even connected to the net (internal clock, perhaps?). It's rather annoying. Get that "outdated mod" message when I load the game. If I go ahead and ignore it, Sims Outdoor life page opens up, but the load bar and music freeze. If I don't ignore it, sims closes. Now, I downloaded this most recent patch and followed the instructions, though I don't know what the instructions mean when they refer to "install optional configuration package" Perhaps that's the issue. Is the optional configuration package actually not optional? where do I find the thing?

If I can't get this thing to work, I'll probably just quit sims. Tried removing AM... it's not nearly as fun. Maybe I'll just go outside, build a few chicken coops, and get a life.... of course, you can't all let that happen to me! Suggestions, folks?
