Uhh.. the mod is still 3.5mb to me... I haven't noticed any change in size.

Sounds like it'd work just like any other voodoo method.  I use 3booter.  It fixes da voodoo for me every time.

And all that requires is a manual renaming, I'm assuming.. cause I tried to look in the help file and I tried to shift-click and ctrl-click.  No option to make it 'Ancestral'... so a manual rename is the last thing that makes sense to me.

I so did not see that one coming. 

I think you must've said that a dozen times now.  They just don't want to listen to you, do they, Pescado?

3booter works everytime a new build comes out.  In fact, voodoo or not, I use 3booter whenever I install a new build... but Pescado's right, I bet I'm being superstitious.

Is Supreme Commander more stable now then?  I don't want to enable it and then have it crash my system or something.

Still needs to be a way to make it so that the sims go to work and school.  Me and my girlfriend both play this game and I really don't like to come back to my family after she's played hers for a week in game to find my Sims failing in school and getting fired from work.

<just facepalms>  Some people just don't know how to run Windows Explorer, apparently.

Okay, been using AwesomeMod and it runs wonderfully but I have a minor issue and I've been trying to see if it's already been answered so forgive me if it is.  Every time I switch back to my family (which is Sacred) after playing another for awhile, I find that one of the parents has lost their job, one hasn't been going to theirs at all and the kids are failing in school.  Also, I notice that they are aging (which I might've wrongly assumed that Sacred also meant they didn't age either).  I was wondering if I needed to disable Story Progression from EA's options or would that also disable AwesomeMod's Story Progressions?  And.. is there a way to disable aging for Sacred Sims?

Yes, that's the error.. and I did just now install the 3booter.exe file and it hasn't helped.  I fail.... epically. 

I didn't install the enablescripterror.package file... just did and now it seems to be working.  I'll keep you guys informed.

Mmkay, I followed the directions in the readme and installed the mod as it told me to.  When it tried to load, it got about 1/8 of the way loaded and crashed.  I know this was mentioned somewhere in this forum, but either I'm glancing over it or what, I can't find where it was discussed.  In the xcpt file that was created, it says this:

[Exception info]
date: 2009-06-27
time: 18.48.40
type: ACCESS_VIOLATION writing address 0x00000008
address: 0x004df11b "E:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TS3.exe":0x0001:0x000de11b

Followed by stack data and then this:

[Instruction data]
004df09b => DasmX86Dll.dll not found.

Okay, so I guess I'm missing that dll file?  Forgive me if I sound noobish to you guys.. I've never had a need to mod any Sims game until this one.

Thanks for the quick and helpful reply.   I'm still considering.  Gonna talk to the other player of this game to see what she thinks of it before I make my decision.. but from everything I've been reading, I think this will be just the thing I was looking for.

Gotta love how everyone's so nice here. Just had to post and say hello.  I'm seriously considering getting this mod because I can't depend on EA fixing this problem.  I've read this thread and the one where it says all the features of this mod.  My question is this:  If I install it and find I don't like it, is it easy to uninstall and will there be any lasting impressions on the game when it's restored or would it require a complete reinstall of Sims 3?
