So, apparently, I'm not the brightest bulb in the box. I patched my game, and now I can play again. Why this bright idea never dawned on me before is beyond me, although I'm too delirious with happiness right now to really care. If anyone else is still having this problem, try patching the game and updating to the latest version of AwesomeMod.

And it's not a lack of resources. I have a ton of RAM, a great processor, a top of the line video card

Same story. Loads til the green is full then CTD.
Running currently without WA, want to get base game working before I launch into the headache of WA.
Really miss Awesomemod, would appreciate if I could use it

I've tried updating all the mods, clearing cache files, reinstalling framework, doing this and doing that, etc.

No matter what AwesomeMod won't work properly for me this time around. I've never had issues prior, well... I'd have an occasional crash but I'd try again and it'd work.

But, I tired like 5 - 10 times and ways and I would always crash, the only times it'd boot up normally would be if I removed the package files from the mods and just loaded it vanilla.

I don't run any other mods so... I'm not sure what's going on.

Can anybody offer some assistance?

PS. This has NOTHING to do with 1 AM.

PPS. I don't have the expansion.

Funny enough the Test Version fixed my problem. Not sure what it was, but it fixed it. I booted it up and didn't crash. Go figure.

Probably the fact that you patched your game?

Nvidia finally updated my laptop vid card driver and I haven't CTD since. I hope that fixes it for me.

Don't know if his helps anyone, but I was crashing right as the first loading screen finished.  Tried everything in this thread (and a number of others) and nothing worked...then I realized I had a tad of confusion that might be affecting others who find this thread. 

On the http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15185.0.html page, there are two versions, "1.7.9/1.7.11/2.2.8 VERSION" and "1.8/2.3 TEST VERSION."  These version numbers are not (as I had previously thought) the version numbers of awesomemod.  They are the version of the Sims 3 game (I never noticed or cared what version of Sims I was running before).  So, possibly check the TS3 launcher and in the bottom corner of it, it says which version of the Sims is installed and download the appropriate awesomemod version.  (After all, why would anyone give a single download 3 different version numbers?)

I run this game on 1GB DDR1 ram, with high settings.  I don't think RAM is really the issue it's been made out to be, especially since the game takes up about 500MB of RAM and 500MB of virtual RAM.  As a general rule, after you've already patched TS3, checked your framework and updated to most recent awesomemod, I would look to your graphics card (make sure it's drivers are up to date, and that it is not overheating), make sure that no other application is running (TS3 will ctd for me if any other application steals screen focus for too long or too often), and avoid custom content from less-than reputable sources like the plague.  I like my CC, but keep in mind that with every patch, some of it gets broken.  My game was notoriously crash-prone for quite a while, before I tracked the error down to a custom hairstyle.  The hairstyle had worked perfectly up until the patch.

See, this is happening to you because all you have is 1 GB of RAM. With Windoze taking up half your RAM, that means you ONLY have 500 MBs of RAMs free, which is why the rest winds up in swap. And your performance will suck as a result.

I'm having a similar issue with a Mac setup. I have framework installed, tried with and without awesome and .dll files in both files, still CTDs somewhere along the loading bar for a neighbourhood/save game loading file.

That was exactly my problem! Thank you so much!

I'm thinking actually that we should be abie to identify the crash based on the xcpt file.  Hm.

Except we can't, because we're missing the information needed to read anything out of it.

I have the latest Awesome. No real probs. I'm finally able to play without pain; and I'm loving WA.  I did have a sim that made me crash when I changed her hair, but that passed after I let a day go by.

 Angry I have the sims 3 1.8. I'm running it without WA. I'm using windows 7 home premium. I followed the how to install framework and AM instructions and I still can't get AM to work. As soon as the loading bar pops up the game crashes. I have deleted all the cache files. I have taken out ALL CC and other mods that might conflict, that is to say all mods. I downloaded the right version. Didn't put the Resource.cfg in packages. I can run my game without AM just fine, but as soon as I put it in and it gets to the loading bar it crashes. So annoying that I can't figure this out, hate playing game with only five traits. Need AM.  Grin

Sorry about that I won't double post anymore. Anything else you have to say to me is irreverent. The day I start caring what an anonymous megalomaniac on the internet has to say about me is the day I'm completely lacking in self-esteem.

Irreverent: it does not mean what you think it means. The word you're looking for is irrelevant. Lets leave the big words to the grown ups, yes? Anyway, I am very pleased to hear your self-of-steam is unblemished by my comments. One would hate to cause offence over the internets. Besides, I am too busy quaffing cognac from my glorious throne in the corner. sipping tea in my office chair.
