This is a thing with the game. It happens a lot of the time. Cooking is a big one for causing this action.

There is a great tutorial for Creating a new World at The Sim Supply site. It is very clear and easy to follow. I am amazed  at my first World, it looks pretty great so far.  Check out the tutorial.

I found out that it is the new Create a World tool that has caused the trouble with the launcher. I uninstalled the tool and now I have no problem installing downloads with the laucher. I also found that adding the downloads to the Download folder first, then starting the launcher then select All that it takes less time than when I tried to install just one download. It doesn't reinstall the downloads that had been previously installed. I just wish I had known this a long time ago.

I patched without removing a thing and updated the awesome mod then started my game all worked fine. No crashes and awesome mod seems to be working so far. I can't say everything is but in playing for a couple of hours all seems to be okay. I plan to start testing the mods I have installed. Well right after I mess around with the build a new world tool. JM seems to have taken care of the missing items because mine were all there.  This was the easiest patching I have experienced.

If you changed your option settings in the game like smoth edges and scroll at edges these two can't be enabled together with some video cards. I had to reinstall the game before I could get rid of the red out neighborhoods. You may beable to delete your saved options and see if it goes away or you may need to reinstall your game. This is an anti alis rendering problem with some video cards and the new patches and expansion. See if this is of any help.

I am also getting alot of Flagrant System Error's. It happens mainly in the home town not so much when traveling. My Sim is maxed out in skills and the stars never go away. My error's seem to be saying pretty much what has been posted.

No crashing problems and the game speed is alot better with AM than it was without. The only Errors I get is with gardening, talks about toad and storey mode. The other errors was when my Sim was fishing. The toad and story mode was mentioned then too. I am wondering if it has something to do with the gardening stars that never go away with AM installed. It never did this playing the game without AM. Haven't noticed any problems doing adventures so far. I will continue to test the adventures. The new expansion has so many glitches that AM is such an improvement as is already. Also never experienced the 1:00 crash.

Egnor my earlier post I forgot that was SecuRom of which I have removed and has nothing to do with my game crashing.

I have updated to the latest 2.whatever patch and I am running Windows 7 and no other mods. It starts to load the game and 2/4 of the way it crashes. I am not sure if this DasmxX86Dll.dll is important it says it isn't found in my crash report. See below

[Instruction data]
00bf0f95 => DasmX86Dll.dll not found.

If you want my crash report I will post it, let me know.

This is why I no longer have access to skill books to buy or iwhy the bookcases and my inventory thingy have no skill books either? Or that I can stock the pond with fish til the cows come home but I can't click to fish the pond? I will get rid of these files and see if all goes back to normal. I really hate reloading everything again.

I get an error when I try to download. Should this just be saved as a Sims3Pack?

My Sim showered in her clothes, gets naked for the bath. Could it be a buggin?

Yes the options to store leftovers and get left overs. I will have to look for a link to send with one of the dishes that I am talking about.

I would get a good brand power box, such as Ocz, Antec ect...500 watts is a touch on the small side I would make it a 700. More times than not this is where problems start. I would look into an AMD Processor Quad Core, AMD is great for gamers. The Intel isn't worth the extra price. The 240-Pin SDRAM DDR2 800 is for Dual Core not for Quad Core.

I have some that doesn't have the Season options for the frig. I know I had redownloaded all of the food after Seasons. I would like to update them if it is possible.

Is it possible to update custom food so it is  working with Seasons, FT ect...? (I have all EP and SP)

I am so glad that you are up dating this computer. I will be happy to help test it.

Do you have empty templates for the other two towns that are in the base game? It would be nice to have them empty too with no characters?

Thank you for doing all the hard work creating this for our use too. You have given more variety of choice to my game.
