A new kind of crash!
« on: 2009 July 31, 16:57:20 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I installed the awesomemod this morning. I went to play one of my families (I clicked one of my familys from the start menu) and the game just crashed. I opened up the game again, clicked the family, it crashed again. I opened up the game again, clicked a different family, it crashed. So I tried this:

1. Simply trying again. For Windoze users, 3booter will perform this task automatically, as well as clearing the wreckage.
2. Deleting all of the *cache.package files out of your Sims3 user directory.
3. Reinstalling AwesomeMod.
4. Installing this enablescripterror.package file into your Mods/Packages. Also useful for debugging other glitches.
5. Rebooting your computer.
6. Blowing in your computer.
8. Turning off the computer and violently shaking it.
9. Prayer.
10. Rattles.
11. Chanting.


None of it worked. I realized it was all the awesome mods fault when I removed it and played the game, and the game worked fine.
... Help.

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

This has been reported and briefly encountered, but doesn't appear to be anything SPECIFICALLY induced by AwesomeMod. I spent hours tracing this, only to have it magically go away without, and the only thing I can think of is that at some point I booted the original unmodified game and opened a neighborhood with the CD in place. I have this wild theory that this is a new EAxian attempt to crack down on pirates, who presumably do not have access to an original CD.

Tried it without enablescripTERROR.package?
If using a crack, try booting from the original exe and CD (or mounted image).

And are you patched?

I don't have a crack, and I yes, I tried with the enablescripterror.package. And I am patched, but not to 1.3

You need the Indie Stone core for the mod to show without AM, but I don't know if it was updated for the 1.3 patch yet.

Except not everybody got it, therefore either they messed up their anti-pirate code (very possible), or it's only a new form of voodoo, and having a dozen Feng-Shui thingies on my monitor or maybe the greenery I'm cultivating on my computer filters out the bad vibes. I definitely haven't tried with the CD as I doubt the game would accept the RLD image as a valid CD Smiley Hmm, on a second thought, maybe it *was* a good idea starting the patched game first with 3 different core mods in the mods folder...  Roll Eyes Talk about absent-minded...

Oh, thanks, I forgot.
But the awesomemod is still not working properly...

As Jordi suggested, try booting the game withOUT enablescriterror.package. I was having the same problem and removing this seemed to fix it.

Yes, I tried that.
I had deleted the awesome mod and saw my game was working. I than put it back in along with the enablescripterror (or TERROR) and the problem was still there. I removed the terror but, yeah... the problem was still there.
And I do not have the crack.

I had this problem, and removing enablescriterror.package fixed it for me and now it works just fine.  Of course, I do have the crack, so maybe the enablescriterror thing only works for those with cracked games?

Did you delete the 4 caches again after you deleted awesomemod?  Did you remove the enablescripterror? My game won't play with the old version in so I game without it now.   Is your enablescripterror the most recent update from MTS?  

ETA: I purchased my game from Target.

1. I deleted the 4 caches & awesome mod, started the game, it worked fine. Exited, put the awesome mod back in, deleted the caches yet again, didn't work.
2. Yes.
3. I just downloaded it (1.2.7 version), placed it in packages, started up game, and it just crashed at the load screen. I think we're getting somewhere, people!
But now I am hopelessly confused...

Well, AwesomeMod isn't supported with version 1.2.7 anymore anyways. Download and install the new patch, and don't install an enablescripterror.package at all.

Okay, hold on...

Update; That did not work. It said invalid file found when I try to install the patch. I took out mods & resource.cfg and yet there is still and invalid file found. And I have no idea what the file is.
Can someone tell me what it conflicts with?

Oh yeah.  I always delete those anyway, so I forgot to mention it.

I have a legal game with registered CD but I'm playing on two different machines, one stationary and one laptop.
I don't want to buy two games and want to play without CD. That's not the only reason for me to have awesome in my games.

The installation, the 1.3 patch and latest Awesome, on the stationary machine works without problems.
I removed the enablescripterror.package and the four cach-files.

But when I should install the patch, on the laptop, with EA's launcher, I got the "Invalid file" several times. The patch didn't install. When I load the game I have a CTD every time I go into a family.

Uninstalling didn't work, I have the same message "Invalid file" when trying to uninstall....

Well I copied two files, Ts3.exe and TSLHost.dll from my other machine to my laptop. And YES, now it works
to install the 1.3 patch and the awesome (+ indiStone, no intro, etc)

It works! I've been playing several hours now on both computers and didn't find any problems. So far......

Well I just downloaded the newest patch... and boy o boy don't I wish I hadn't done that.  My game won't load.....  Right after the introduction video I see the bar that never fills with any green whatsoever.  Sigh.....  I've uninstalled the game and reinstalled it.  What should I do?  I even took indie Mod off b/c I've read that indie was a big problem with the new patch.  I've also installed the newest awsome mode, ran the compatiablility checker and everything seems to be good....  And before you ask...  I have a legal pre ordered game....  Registered and all......Any suggestions?Huh  Undecided  Cry

Maxine, check if you have the d3dx9_31.dll in your Game/Bin folder. I had your same problem and restoring the dll made the game load again.

The patch downloads automatically, I think.  This bug happened to me too.  When I remove awesomeMod from the Mods/Packages folder, the game works fine, but if I put it back in, it crashes again.  Obviously, there is something in the patch that conflicts directly with something in awesomeMod.  But what is it?  How should I configure my AwesomeMod to avoid the conflict?

It doesn't install automatically. When I go into the launcher it asks. ^^

Wait, can someone just please tell me how to install the 1.3 patch? I believe if install that, maybe the awesome mod will work. (whenever I try to install the 1.3 patch it says invalid file found)
