New Build of awsome mod causes my game to crash to desktop. NOT THE DON"T REPORT

I have a little hope, but I will try to unset time first

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. 

Some people on this site are so *helpful* and *friendly* - not.

Unless you hacked your old version to remove the expiry date check, this is not helpful either; your older version of the mod will still have the timebomb.

Setting the date on your computer back is probably the simplest solution.

EA Patch is reported to be very borked up I do not want to install it until they make it good.

Based on what? Hearsay?

Plenty of people have patched successfully but human nature being what it is the ones who have not are making much more noise than the ones who have.

A lot of the loudest noise is coming from the Exchange, MTS and TSR whose average users are quite frankly not the most savvy to begin with. And lord knows many in this community love an excuse to kermitflail.

Why don't you just try it? You won't lose you save games. Worst that can happen is you have to reinstall and just apply the first patch. Eh.

If you have troubles with it you can always ask around for a solution.

I swear all this hysteria over the patch is scaring off people from even trying to apply the damned thing when they don't even know if they'll have problems, they just think they will because they read a bunch of other people going on about it so.

I wouldn't know how to hack if my life depended on it.  My awesomemod still seems to be working perfectly, go figure. The mod I use most frequently - editsim in CAS is working fine.

I have patched two computers - a desktop and a laptop  - and have added the updated AM to both.  I have had no trouble at all.  I'm not trying to sound smug or be a smarty pants because there was really nothing to it.  I did not remove any saved games or cc or do anything special.  It just worked.  I'm speaking as a member of the silent majority and hopefully giving assurance that the patch is ok.

My game is fine too - patch + latest Awesome = great game (insofar as is possible right now).      Seriously, I have had zero issues with either one and removed nothing either before patching/adding latest AM.

  I don't really believe this is  true Awesome mode crashed my game (I now know because of reading the posts) that it is only compadible with the update (did not know the before hand so......) Anyway now that I know this I can move on to my problem........ Can you explain why my update failes at the end and won't install in game   any help would be great 
I tried as I said ,many times to no avail to update my game.......


Holding my head and winching for your bashing

Thanks

Instead of making a Thread on it.
and Since the title does say New build of awesome mod causes my game to crash to desktop.

I Just got the new build moments ago.
I try to launch the game, It does the half loads and craps out.
So I go get the Script error thing from the download thread.
I thought that helped cause I got into the game more.... Well.

Right as I click the save to play it crashes again.

Has this been reported yet and is there a fix?

Take the "enablescripterror" package out and try the 3-booter.  That is the program that just keeps restarting the game, which hopefully will make it work.  I am using this routinely now and having no problems launching the game.  The other is more for programmers to see what is happening and does not affect launching.

And, if that doesn't work, try the suggestions here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,16229.0.html

Thank you!
I had tried everything on that post, I was reading it before You posted here.
When I removed the Scripterror one it started to run again. Joy.

Thank you.

Thank you, it works, I can use old safe awesome and play with no problems with fun.

Now I have to set it back every week.

I'm sure that patch compartible awesome will crash my game. I'm just SURE. I'm unlucky.

Info from snootysims.com. I trust this site.

Snootysims has long been known to posts rumors and unsubstantiated information. What is their hard evidence that the patch is causing problems other than conflicts with various custom content and mods that have not been updated to work with the patch or just plain user error?

That's fine. Some people are born with the unlucky trait.

[Larku]

With snootysims it's mixed on rather information is correct.
Every site has sometimes rumors that are false.

You just have to take everything with a grain of salt. Even with this site.
