Thanks for the fix chann, it works! Now my kids can actually get into school. It also helps with "everyone rushes to change the baby's diaper" situation.

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Instead of filling up the request thread with a bunch of questions, let's ask them here and see if we can help each other out with some of the features.

The next post contains all the AwesomeMod commands I know of.  I'll try to keep it as updated as possible.  If you notice anything that is wrong or unclear please give me a heads up.  If you find any commands I don't have listed... by all means post it here and I'll try to add it to the list.

Most recent version date/time stamp: 07/23/2009 06:54am CST

Wikki type page for awesomemod: http://wikka.moreawesomethanyou.com/Awesomemod
I do have a few tutorials I have made using the awesome mod.   You don't need to register to view the boards, it's open to guests.

Tutorial-Moving Overstuffed Households

Tutorial-Lifetime Happiness Fulfilled-Change it! Uses Neighborhood Workshop & Awesome Mod

Mini Tut on Splitting and Evicting and Saving

I have a couple other tutorials but they are really dated now.  Especially the changing lifetime wants.  Just type in lifetimehappiness in the console and you'll get 50,000 points then purchase the Change Lifetime Wish and you're good to go.  Before that code, it was more complex but now thanks to the awesome mod, it's very easy.  Unless you want to give them a NEW lifetime wish after their original one has been fulfilled, then I have a tutorial on how to do that.

Here's a quick fix for the door-jam issues: open The Sims 3\Game\Bin\Sims3.ini (back up a copy first) and change all the DynamicAvoidance_* values under the [Config] section to 0.0. It basically turns on no-clip and lets Sims walk through each other.
I'm definitely trying that!  Contrary to what EA might think, the physical forcefield around each sim decreases the believability more than a bit of clipping would.  Thanks for the tip!

I just installed awesomemod today and now my stuff I downloaded from ModTheSims dont seem to be working. I have a download to make the carpool stop coming an hour before work and now the car comes by. I have quicker painting would take about 3 hours in game now it takes alot longer. So Im guessing my downloads dont work. I saved the original download and just dragged the file back in there and replaced the one i have in my packages folder but it doesnt work. Any help please?!

rubenm, did you try deleting your cache files (any file under Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 that has "cache" in the name)? That might help.

i think thats what the main problem. I had never done that before and I had installed several awesomemod updates. I read on here that it was a good idea to do that so I did and now I have all these problems my ModTheSim stuff not work. I cant get the new sims update because I get an error saying the file is not found or something and i tried to uninstall the whole game but i get an error in that to. So yeah

you should install the 1.2.7 patch, dont worry about the error thing, happened to me too. just replace the file the patch crashes at with the same file from the game cd or virtual cd then install the patch. should work then.

Is it on purpose that the BetterGeneticSkinBlend always picks the color from the parent with the darkest skin?
I thought it would pick the color at random from the father or mother and then picks a random shade somewhere inbetween, but it appears to always pick the color from the parent with the darkest shade of skin.

rubenm, while the patch is being installed it says which file is being copyed at the moment just keep watching and when it crashes before you click ok, just look at the name of the file that was being copyed at the time, then replace that file with its origional and try the patch again. in my case it was the "skuversion" file but i hear its not always the same file with everyone.

Yes. That is on purpose.

Then, where does the "blending" part of that feature come in? If it's always going to choose only one parent's skintone, and not actually blend the tones, then what's the point? My question isn't meant to be antagonistic; I'm just curious.

Pescado said it picks the darkest parent's skin palette because some people use very light blue or green to try to make pale sims, and it is to prevent a sim with very light green skin and a dark normal skinned sim from having a dark green baby.
It doesn't actually blend the skins, but it can give you a middle tone on the darker sim's skintone palette whereas without the better blending it would be just either the one skin or the other.

Important

N99ers are reporting that you need to restore your LIBRARY FAMBLYS before patching. I guess the patch updates them as well.

That's how it works: If the parents are of different swatches, it will use the swatch of the darkest skin, and then BLEND the resulting tone. With EAxis default rules, breeding two sims from different swatches means you get a sim of either one skin, or the other skin, exactly. No variety whatsoever.

Well a couple of us stuck them up on file sharing sites but then someone else just said they patched without them in place just fine.

There's a lot of conflicting reports going around and people yelling that the sky is falling bla bla.

I also think this claim that you can't install sims3pack files via the launcher if you have mods in the mods directory is rather suspect. That seems like a lot of effort for EA to go to and too odd for randomness.

  Huh I have 2 questions.  I just installed the latest game patch.  Before doing that however, I removed AwesomeMod and a few other things that I thought might cause problems with the update. So my first question is will AwesomeMod work with this new game patch or do I need to wait for an Awesome Update?

Second, in the list of changes made by new game patch, it mentions "Play with Genetics" in CAS.  What is that and where do I find it?  I don't see anything in CAS like that.  Am I missing something?  Is that something that comes up for new babies or something?

Thank you for your time.  Wink

rubenm, never mind from the picture you have posted appearently you already have patch 1.2.7 installed, you dont need to patch to 1.3.24 for your game to work propperly. i dont know why your mods are not working. maybe you should remove all your mods and delete your cache files in my documents then try installing them again.
also just a thought, when you installed patch 1.2.7 were your mods installed at the time? cuz i heard some ppl had problems with their games when they had the patch installed without removing their mods first.

The library sims thing is utter bollocks. I intentionally tested a patch without them, it works. They just did something stupid.

For me it was the videocamera.ini. I had forgotten I had edited that file, but i Managed to find the .log file from the patch within my temp files and discovered the problem. For other people its the shader package for the outdated blur remover, or the gameplay package that the teenwhoohoo mod replaces.

In most cases it seems to have been that people replaced something in their sims3 folder and had forgotten they had done so (like me).

yeah i believe most of them were in there but they were working with that update its just i believe today they stopped working i dont know if it was because i deleting those cache files. So I just wait for the next patch or will it just do the same? Thats pretty stupid.
Right now the only problem i have (beside the ModTheSims stuff not working) is my game is crashing after about 2 minutes of playing

EDIT: seems like i had an old version of awesomemod seems to be working now
Still my ModTheSims stuff refuses to work

I figured. I love how one person does a dumb thing and blames something else completely else unrelated and suddenly it spreads around the whole community like wildfire.

I've already seen people running around telling everyone you need your library families restored on 5 different boards now.  Roll Eyes

I still think the sims3packs won't install if you have mods in a mods folder the game never installed in the first place and technically shouldn't even know is there thing is bs too.
