More Awesome Than You!

Is anyone running windows 8.1 and if so are you having any problems with running Sims? I don't know if I'm having a problem with AwesomeMod or Windows 8.1 or the latest update for Sims, ugh.

I can't believe Windows 8 was a nightmare enough for you to deter you from downloading future updates.

I had a total lack of anything resembling sense when I hit that update button. Too much vino I guess.

If anyone is interested, this is the report that my son found on my computer about this incident of me not being able to run the Sims now.  If you know anything that can/might help I would greatly appreciate it.  Sorry that I lack all programming skill.

I'm no programming expert either, but it looks to me more like system problems than Sims 3 specifically. I don't know if this is a Windoze 8.1 issue because I don't use 8.1, I haven't seen a lot of people complaining though. You could check your Windoze updates I guess.

You may want to have a chat to your son as to what 'to cyber' means in Internetz terms, lol.

Cyber is the name of the company that built my pc

I finally got my game to run, I removed the sims 3 folder from documents> ea> sims 3.  So it seems that the problem wasn't with Windows 8.1 but with something downloaded into the game.

My game runs now but AM does not! The AM updater runs like all is fine but when I get in game AM is not there.  I don't know what to do at this point.  Advice?

How do you know AM isn't there? Are other mods or CC showing up in game?

I've been playing Sims 3 on Windows 8.1 like I always do from previous versions of Windows and there's not a single problem caused by Windows. If you get any errors, it's the game.

Let's not rule out PEBKAC here.  Most of the "game errors" that get reported around here can be easily fixed by swapping out the user.
