Oh Shouty Vole. One day you will learn. Or not.

Besides, you don't argue with the Hindu goddess of knowledge. She will bitchslap you with all 6 hands.

Then you were still doing it wrong. Most likely you didn't copy the dll over to the directory of whatever version of the game exe you were running or you didn't update one of your mods or something of that sort. Regardless, as Witch pointed out the old method still does work and many people still run their game that way. The new way just has no dll to worry about and you won't have to mess around with anything when you add another expansion so I tend to try to push those who have issues in that direction.


Don't flatter yourself.  And again I must point out the one term I used that even qualifies as an insult, is relatively minor. If you get so bent out of shape and butthurt over being called a Speshul Snowflake you've got a pretty thin skin indeed and will have a lot of problems in life. 'Oh noes! That person gave me a dirty look! I must have justice!'


Yeah you were. In your own special won't shut the fuck up, have to have to last word, haughtily tell us how we really are way, you were offended. If you didn't give a shit, we wouldn't still be having this conversation so regardless of whatever bullshit you peddle to everyone else and yourself, you were offended.


Okay cruel is chaining up someone and torturing them. Calling some person on the internet "Speshul Snowflake" is hardly cruel. Don't be dramatic.


And again I say then why are you still talking about it?


And here we come to the excuse. It wasn't for me, it was for all those who will come after me. Think of the children!

You are just a regular Mother Theresa.


Agreed and fine by mine. However something tells me we haven't heard the last from you complaining about how terrible and cruel we are, but of course you weren't offended at all.


You said you never found your question asked, ergo your question is different. And by the way, 80% of these sorts of posts were exactly your problem. Some sort of framework fail. It wasn't awesomemod because when you moved it to My Documents and set it up the new way it works. The old way still works, you just didn't do it right and then assumed your problem was different from everyone else who asked the same damned thing.



Really, that's interesting because...



You could try it, but I wouldn't recommend it. It would be completely redundant and unnecessary. Also a possible source for conflicts. I can't understand why someone would want to to such a thing.


Oh noes someone was mean to me on the internet! The human race is evil and must be destroyed!

Actually, Pescado would quite agree with that second sentence.


The 'leetz' as you call them here aren't arbitrarily putting themselves above anyone else just because. People here value reading manuals and instructions, searching and figuring things out on your own. If you've done all that and still feel you must ask, make sure your question hasn't been asked already (regardless of what you think yours has; in fact it's the most common question) and give as much information as possible.

Also, questions should generally be limited to problems once Awesomemod is running and posted within the existing Awesomemod bugs thread.

Getting Awesomemod to load in the first place is an issue of making sure your setup is correctly configured to run mods. We are not the EA help desk and we don't exist to get everyone's Sims install setup correctly. There are plenty of other places for that sort of thing, not the least of which is a very extensive, easy to understand Help section at Mod the Sims which I keep linking to but people would rather post here for a spoon fed answer than to go take the time to read. They also tend to jump to conclusions and make assumptions without really researching something (ie the new way to install mods is just for Ambitions). These sorts of people are the ones who get called out and told to figure it out on their own.

Plenty of people, including *gasp* noobs have posted bug reports in the Awesomemod bug report thread and no one said boo to them. They are following the conventions of the board and working within its framework. You are not and if you lurked so much as you claimed you would know this.


Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. I'm sure you'll be back again to tell us how we really are.

If you claim to believe this to be the policy here, then you got what you expected. If you didn't like the answer, don't ask. As for the supposed name calling you are so butt hurt about, "Speshul Snowflake" is probably the nicest thing people starting the umpteenth OMG MY PROBLEM IS SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN EVERYONE ELSES HALP!!!!1111 posts will get called. If the worst thing you have ever been called in your life is "Speshul Snowflake" you've been doing pretty well.

Regardless, everyone with this problem has it almost certainly due to one of three extremely common issues, files installed to the wrong location, the wrong files installed, or another mod such as Twallan's which was neglected to be updated.


It was in the patch notes from EA. Next time, RTFM before installing something.


Perhaps the fact that Delphy himself has not updated it in over a year and had this to say in his thread for it:

http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=344611


And further, his newer Framework installer tool, which has been updated recently (and would have caught your mistake btw) says:

http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=384014


So uh, yeah, when the creator of a tool says it's obsolete, it's obsolete.


And all of this due to the fact that you didn't install your mods properly because you failed to RTFM on your patch. Instead you felt the need to come here and ask the same question that has been asked multiple times and then give us your shitty sarcasm and righteous indignation that we didn't drop everything and fix a mistake made by laziness on your part.

Of course.  Every Speshul Snowflake insists that their problem is different!


No it isn't. SEARCH MOAR. The new way applies to ANY install as long as it is patched to the latest patch for whatever game version you are running.

Speaking of obsolete, that Delphy monkey tool is obsolete.

Well on the latter ones about fixing the stereo and seeds and whatnot, Twallan has a mod to get rid of opportunities here. Note that it disables all opportunities. AFAIK it doesn't extend to non-opportunity phone calls.

As an aside, if someone knows how to get rid of some of those, and in particular the 'Thanks that was grate!' calls you get from sims after you put out a fire at their house (uh hello it was their job) please do share!

AFAIK, all the Dr. Pepper items are individual and don't actually come in sets. When people pack them up as group I believe they are just throwing them all together into one zip file.

If you get them as sims3packs and need it as a package use Delphy's Sims3Pack MultiExtractor or 3Viewer if you are on a Mac.

ETA: It seems these 'packs' of store items in package format made by Panama Crew are all shoved together into one package, including Dr. Pepper stuff. Never having bothered to download the store files in package format before I never noticed this. It's a huge pain in the ass to separate files once they've been shoved together, but on the flip side I know how to combine separate files if I really want to.

At any rate, if you just want specific files it's easier to just get the sims3packs and then if you need a package extract them yourself with the tools I linked above.

In general, we frown upon people asking for specific files to be posted for them because they are too lazy to get a combined pack and fish the files they want out of them. However in this case I posted them on page 7 of this very thread:


Next time look through the threads more. If you are looking for items released in July, check the posts in this thread and the store downloads thread around July. If you still don't find them then just get the combined pack and yank out what you want. I guarantee it's faster than waiting for someone else to post it.

The problem is that someone is posting anonymously on MySims3Blog (aka the Shouty Vole soapbox) and probably other places that these files are here free. They give a link here to the forum post, often times without instructions, instead of linking to the actual file itself. Whoever is doing it, cut it out.

If you want to share shit with the tards then download them yourself, pack it up with S3RC, write some quick and dirty For Dummies instructions (which the dummies won't read anyway) and put it up on Mediafire or something.

We don't need anymore tards. We already have our own that we can't get rid of.

Hmm, that works? Isn't there some XML value that marks them as paid content though? IIRC, decrapify changes that so it's no longer marked as paid content.

I guess that value is only really used by the launcher, but I don't trust EA not to change the game itself at some point so that it checks it too.

Oh I don't know, I think a sift key could be useful for baking cakes.

In all seriousness though, how does anyone use a computer without ever using the shift key UNLESS THEY TYPE IN ALL CAPS? *mind boggles*

Quite true. He's an asshole and so are we but none of us are easily butthurt so it all works out.

It's in the Romanza Bridal Party set which has been posted recently here several times.

Look I don't care if you are a "programmer by trade" don't come here as a noob and then be a smart ass. If you acknowledge it was a bad place to ask and you expected the answer you got then why the fuck did you do it dickwad?

But to answer your question, so you will hopefully take your haughty ass and GTFO, no one other than Twallan has managed to make any significant game altering mods (ie not XML tweaks) that are not core mods. Twallan has utilized some creative work arounds to do this, but I don't know the specific processes. If you must know how then go ask him.

Twallan's mods are the only significant alternative to using a core mod. Compared to TS2, there are far less people making mods for TS3 so your choices are reduced. It's something you have to live with unless you want to make your own mods.

Also, you can pretty much do most things the few measly other core mods out there do (with the possible exception of some of the slider mods) with Awesome mod and some of Twallans various mods. It's possible to have teen woohoo, same sex pregnancy, no shooing etc etc with Awesomemod by using Twallan's mods alongside with it.

However as you likely won't believe everything I've said and think I am biased because I am here then go off for yourself and waste time looking so you will be satisfied. And then don't bother coming back.

ETA: Pescado spent over a year modding for this game when almost no one else knew how or wanted to and he is still updating and working on it. Others who started trying to mod for it around the same time have long since abandoned their projects. Most of the few others currently modding for TS3 started later and acknowledge Pescado, noting that their work couldn't have been done without his. The person who made that extended game core clearly notes this.

Then there are things like the "Super Mod" at Pandora Sims that just so happens to be strikingly similar to Awesomemod. A coincidence, I am sure.  

I first thought those were assholes before realizing they were armpits.

Anyway, the first one just looks like image compression artifacting while they second looks super airbrushed to hell.

This would probably be better suited for a post at Paysites Must Be Destroyed, but I don't know, is the TS2 cc community really a big threat for them anymore?

OTOH, I wouldn't put it past them either...

I had been using the old one that checked if a new version was available before trying to grab it. I did modify the batch file to look for the files in the new directory under My Document and to also delete the cache files every time before installing. Still I will grab this one as it's more of an all in one solution and is being updated.

It also seems a lot more tard noob friendly so hopefully we can beat them with sticks gently suggest they use this tool to avoid 'ZOMG GAM SEZ ITZ XPRED WUT DO i DO???1111111eleventyone' posts

Well technically though you can do a default replacement for any item or outfit in the game and swap it for something else. It can be done in IngePE but does require some degree of technical know how. IngePE does not hold your hand but instead expects you to already know what the fuck you are doing.

I have no idea about TSRW because I have never used it and don't ever plan to install that thing on any computer I own. I suspect it does a lot more hand holding than IngePE, but I don't know if it handles default replacement of EAxis items.

The Dr. Pepper items have already been posted separately earlier in this thread so just go look. They are also in MistyK's 4 shared directory, which again has been posted in this thread. Go look.

Pescado, the creator of the decrapify tool, has expressly stated people should not share decrapified files. If you are on a Mac or just a tard on a PC figure it the fuck out and STFU because plenty of other people have made it work.

On the last two bonus items be patient, someone will post them eventually. Or as Rum Nate said, just buy them yourself and share.

Already posted here:


And here:

Thanks. And for the record "Mactard" only refers to those on a Mac who are attempting to ARR the files and are not resourceful enough to find ways to decrapify them. If someone legitimately purchases items from the store (or gets them as a bonus for purchase) then they should install without modification with no problem. If they don't you then can legitimately complain to EA about it. (Although I would not expect a useful or competent reply. )

Can someone put these up elsewhere?

CUSTARD. 

In theory, it should enable people to just yank out all the CC stuff, re-save and then let them game sub in other stuff for it (which sometimes ends up quite odd mind you).

That works for lots. Not sure about worlds though.

In general I don't install sims3packs with custom content. I usually yank them out with this tool and then go and get those package files separately on my own so I know what's in them, what they are called and how to get rid of them if I want.

This board was pretty much founded on being rude.

If you get something from here that isn't working then you probably forgot a step or did something wrong. It's also probably been discussed many times before and those discussions can be accessed by doing a search.

Being an ESL is not an excuse for not searching for an answer before asking your question.

That's because you are both tards who probably snuck in thanks to an anonymous tip on My Sims 3 Blog. SEARCH MOAR!

The "Simetta Stone", apparently. Seems like a leftover rejected item from WA tbh. Could be cute for a museum I suppose, but I wouldn't want it in my sim's houses.
