That's odd that "Read Something" can appear, because the action isn't even supposed to be available in the latest version if there are no unread books. If you have only old books, you can reread them only manually by picking the book specifically.

That may be it, Quetzilla. I play the Collector's DVD Edition and have to remove my Mods folder to install sims3packs.
But I too have the Collector's DVD Edition and have no problems installing sims3packs. via the launcher... and never have had to remove my Mods folder... and Ms. Idjit as we both know...  your comp is WAY more powerful than mine... so what a weird bug/issue or w/e... *waves and gives High Five* |

I have a q-stion
what if the latest build will be always crashing in my game - how can I turn off the awesome "use the latest build!" check?
I'm satisfied with the previous build and do not want to updated it to the incompartible and not-working version.
P. S.
the latest build (30 July) crashes when I click to play on the Active family screen after the loading screen.

I have an old (before the first EA patch came out) Awesome mod which I can e-mail you. PM me if you want it. I have not patched my game at all.

That won't help, since that version of the mod still has the timebomb. There's another post where Pes discusses several workarounds for the expiry date check. Try the solutions mentioned here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,16098.msg464765.html#msg464765There are several obvious workarounds: - Change the XML with a later expiry date - Change the core mod to remove the expiry date check - Change the date on your computer to be before the expiry date - Run the latest AwesomeMod without the 1.3 patch and hope for the best. In all of these cases, don't report any bugs that you find. |

mmm but then the "Read Something" does keep popping up. If the family contains skill books that my bookworm sim is not qualified to read, will those books be considered as unread books and trigger the "Read Something"? Or the same case if my other family members contain (in their inventory) books that my bookworm sim hasn't read? (Like books obtained from career opportunities.) |

In my current game (as of 3 days ago), one of my Bookworm sims frequently (several times a day) visited the bookshelf with the Read Something want, stood there for 30+ minutes, and finally walked away. When I turned off the Anti-Raymundo feature in AM, she started choosing books and reading them. That tells me that 1) She'd already read all of it, and 2) That the Read Something still pops up even if it's all been read already. |

M'kay... does anyone know the droptrait "code" for getting rid of the "Hates the Outdoors" trait...? I had read that to get rid of the "Technophobe" trait... to type in "AntiTV" which worked great... and even tried it on this one, "AntiOutdoors"... but to no avail... don't want any of my sims not liking the outdoors...  |

It's simply, "HatesOutdoors".

Yes, it's actually kind of interesting.. The "Loves the Outdoors" trait is referenced as "LovesTheOutdoors" - but for whatever reason they decided the "The" wasn't necessary for the "Hates the Outdoors" trait. (Consistency doesn't appear to be one of EAxis' strong points..)

Or else you can turn on debug commands (or is it debug interactions? I forget, I have them both on all the time) and shift-click the sim and select "modify traits for active sim" and you get the trait selector box. I found that to be much easier than 'addtrait' or 'droptrait' to use. I also use the shift-click to age-up the sims. I hate the fucking birthday cake.

Hi everybody! I'm new to this board and I was wondering is there any way that someone could point me in the direction of finding 1.2.7 awesomemod? I can't seem to get it running because I have the 1.3 awesomemod all that I get is CTD when i'm loading a save or starting anew. Thanks in advanced

If 1.3 isn't working than I assume you didn't patch? The 1.3 version is compatible with the 1.3 patch.
There is no longer any older versions of Awesome Mod as it is still in constant development. There is however a bug thread in this area that you should read - you will most likely find your answer there.

Thankyou for your reply dude. Honestly the problem is that I can't update to 1.3 for the very same reason someone in this thread can't. There is an error when I update from 1.2.7 to 1.3 and it seems that hasn't been sorted out here. Not to mention that 1.3 I heard is very buggy and has a whole new slue of issues. Again thankyou |

In AwesomeConfig, the feature "scale job performance gain to age lengths": what will happen if aging is off? Will the sims just never gain work performance, or will they continue to gain based on the age length they would have if aging was on?

Again thankyou Hearsay caused by hysteria due to user error. Plus people have messed with a lot of different game files without knowing with they were doing or backing it up and then went kermitflailing when the patch wouldn't install. If you can't patch it is most likely due to some file the game originally installed that you either directly or indirectly (via some mod/patch/crack/trainer bla bla) modified or deleted. If you aren't sure what you changed from the default base install I suggest you just reinstall the game. It will give you the option to keep your saves and custom content when you uninstall so you won't lose any of that. |

It will be based on the currently selected age lengths, exactly as it says. |

Hey everyone  I'm new to the forum, and I've been searching foreverrr for a solution to this, but I can't find one that 100% applies to me and solves my problem. Well, my game crashes to the desktop every time I get to the main menu and choose my neighborhood. It's not random or anything, and it always finishes loading at the first screen. I have the 1.3 patch and I play from the CD. My game is not a crack, since I bought it at Target. I have tried installing enablescripterror and it didn't fix anything either. I've deleted the caches about a billion times and still nothing. It's absolutely driving me insane! I have been everywhere and nothing has been a help. Thanks |

I had that one a while back, and it was apparently a problem caused by the last neighborhood I had played going corrupt. I solved it by deleting that neighborhood from the saved games folder.

You need to remove that package. |

The thing is that it crashes when I try to create a new neighborhood, too.
And I have also deleted the enablescripterror already.

Did that also include deleting the contents of the WorldCaches folder? If your neighborhoods are crashing upon loading, deleting those might help.. If you've already tried this though, I'm not sure what might be at fault. I did run into a similar issue myself some weeks back though, but it somehow resolved itself after a few repeated attempts to load a savegame\start a newgame. *shrugs* |

Worldcache? I don't have any folder labeled that... where is that?
Just to make it a little more clearer ---> the game crashes right as I click the play button on the main menu after choosing my neighborhood.
Also I have tried at least 50 times to try to play a saved game AND a new game... still the same issue :/
