Yeah. What I should have done before I updated was to check to see if the problem worked just fine when using it outside of Custom Launcher, and whether or not it's just that coupled with the 64x system. I'm kicking myself for not thinking of that. If you want me to test that for you for future reference, I'd be more than willing to.

Anyway, program was updated. The code that came up went by too fast to read until it started checking to see if there were any updates on any of the programs. The only time I had to press any keys was the credits screen, where you listed people you wanted to thank. It loaded up Sims 3 without a hitch, and worked perfectly with Custom Launcher.

Did you have to press any key (at the credits screen) BEFORE The Sims 3 started, or after?

Before. Granted, with the amount of packages I have, it takes Sims 3 a while to load up. I'll try booting it up without any packages, save hacks, and wait to see if I need to press any buttons before Sims 3 will boot up.

Edit: Yeah, it automatically boots Sims 3 up. I didn't have to press any keys to get Sims 3 to start booting- it's just my horrid bloated packages folder. I'm actually in the process of cleaning up and I'm picky on quality (no transparency issues, textures have to fit well, no shoddy modeling) on top of it, but still, I have a large folder.

Also, a belated thanks for including me in the credits. I can't believe I missed it the first time; I didn't even think to look since I figured I was the one who should thank you instead!

I am stupid - no need to tell me. I used to have AwesomeMod installed but when I added Dark Night to the game I had to remove it. Now you have a revised Awesome Mod. Does it work with Dark Night? If so, do I have to reload the origonal AwesomeMod since this new one is an upgrade. Or can I just use the new one. I can not figure out how to install it. I am not young or a computer whiz. I want AwesomeMod so I can alter my Sims people with things like really skinny body with big head or tiny eyes and huge ears. I really miss the ability to really alter the Sims from the ea sameness.  jodysan

Even when running as administrator WITH UAC turned off, it gave me code 12. Is there some utterly assanine reason it can't extract something when all of the limiting factors have been eliminated? I honestly want to go to wherever it is downloading and extract the file myself at this rate, along with installing it to the proper location since it probably won't be able to do that either. This is using the 2.4 beta.

Does that error occur using v2.3? Do you have any expansions installed? If so, which ones?
EDIT: When deleting all created files and running the updater again, I also got error 12. This should be fixed in build 15. You may find redundant updater files in Documents\The Sims 3.

This thing is very frustrating. I'm pretty sure I unzipped everything to the right places. Whenever I run the updater, it displays all of the messages too quickly for me to read. I managed to get half of a message when I was spamming prt scrn and it said:

4beta - build 16> has been downloaded.

commended>.
 this update.

ernal or external command,


Since I can't read the whole thing, I'm not sure what exactly it's telling me happened or what to do next. I tried seeing if it worked anyway and no, Sims 3 loads and says Awesomemod is not updated.

I'm running this on Windows XP, have every expansion and stuff pack installed, and have my mods installed the new way.

Maybe this has something to do with my horrible internet connection? I miss the old way of just downloading and manually installing the test file.

You can still install Awesomemod manually.

Yep. And there's no updated version on the main thread, unless it was updated after December 3rd without mention, or at http://beta.moreawesomethanyou.com/ts3/test/ anymore, hence why I downloaded this program.

You clearly don't know what you are talking about, do you? This updater is NOT AwesomeMod. All version numbers, bug reports and feature lists in this thread apply to this updater and NOT AwesomeMod. There is NO test version of AwesomeMod available, as you should have discovered by SEARCHING.

EDIT: I saw what you did there.

Why don't you try downloading from the right place.  Just because Pescado doesn't mention shit in the main download thread doesn't mean it hasn't been updated.  The test version became public after a couple of weeks.

Problem - I use the aweconfig.package and placed it in the AwesomeMod Updater folder - but the way you have it configured now, the package is being deleted - can you configure it Not to delete this package?

Thanks!

The updater should not delete aweconf.package. I didn't configure it like that, and aweconf isn't mentioned in the whole file. It only replaces awesome.package and does nothing else with the files in there. I use the aweconfig myself, and it works fine. Anyone else having this problem?

I tried it again and aweconfig.package was deleted from the AwesomeMod Updater folder again. Any help is appreciated guys!

This updater does nothing with the aweconf package. You probably think it's deleted, because it wasn't there in the first place. Or you put it there yourself, but why would you do that?

The updater bat is giving me an error code 9, read the readme;

Code:
Error code 9

Meaning:       The updater didn't move 3booter and/or FPS Limiter into the right folder.
               If you see this error code, the Updater has already downloaded the necessary files. To save disk space, you can press 1 to let the Updater clean up the download folder.

I check, 3booter is in the Late Night directory. I'm going to try and reinstall/redownload the updater manually, see what it gives me. 3booter worked on it's own.

Think a log file will help a lot with debugging but ditto on the error code 9.  Tested this on a properly patched Sims 3 with 3booter and fpslimiter on a Win 7 64 bit Ultimate installation.  It prompts me that there is a new update (uhhh...there shouldn't be) then borks out with the error when I press option 2 to continue.  Option 1 spits out a paragraph of text including an update.zip not found then self closes even when I run the bat file via cmd /k.

Error 9 means something else:
Code:
Error code 9

Meaning:       The updater couldn't check for compatibility with your game version. This is probably because the server is down.

How to solve:  Try again later or check your internet connection.
Do you have an old readme file?

To all:
It turns out that I was 'abusing' the file host. They removed all files and pages, so the updater can't check for newer versions or download compatibility.txt to check for patch compatibility.
I am now working on v2.4.1, which will remove all update checks and other things which involve that file host. I'll have to find a new one, which doesn't remove everything for... uh, semi-abuse.
Update coming soon.
EDIT: It's there.
EDIT2: Patch compatibility check and test version download wil return in v2.5. Auto-update option will change to a notification.

Updated to v2.4.1 (v2.4.1.110)
