I wanted the speed fixes, so I went through the whole pain of unistalling everything and re-installing from scratch.
All went perfectly until I re-installed AwesomeMod.
Now the game goes through the intro and then gets to the loading screen and boom, crashes.
Take out AwesomeMod from the packages file, the game works perfectly again.
Obvious idiot wondering what I am doing wrong. And yes, I RTFM. Obviously I used AwesomeMod before, so I know how to install it properly.
I'm having the same problem. When the loading screen comes up the cursor just twirls around and around, over and over, never getting to the Main Menu where you can choose a saved game. As soon as I remove Awesome.package from my mods folder, everything works fine. I tried uninstalling and reverting back to 1.0.632.00002, but the problem affects that version now too. Edit: Nevermind, I ended up getting it to work. Now that I've managed to fix my problems, it seems that another one has bubbled to the surface. Awesomemod causes my game not to load at all -- I mean, it starts up and everything, but when I get to the loading screen it doesn't load. At all. I don't see any green showing progress in the loading bar, just my cursor spinning around around, much how like the quoted poster was describing his problem. The game doesn't crash, either; it just sits there until I have to manually shut it down via task manager. I've searched around the Awesomemod! forums but have found nothing pertaining to my issue. Does anybody have an idea what could be going wrong? The poster I quoted seemed to have fixed his problem, but didn't post the solution, so I was thinking about PMing him but I don't know often he logs onto MATY, and seeing as he only has six posts, I don't expect a reply any time soon. That happened to me the first time I installed awesomemod. I also created my own install directories and created my own resource.cfg... I ended up reinstalling my game and using monkey installer to install the mods. I am not certain... But I think I put the mods directory in the wrong place originally and that caused my problem. (but for some reason the other mods I had isntalled worked... I imagine the reason awesomemod didn't was because it actually changes the script files and is a higher level mod making it a bit more touchy.... either that or it is complete voodoo) What I'd suggest you do is run the monkey installer program which should be found in this thread among other places... Then try. You might have to delete your current mods folder if it is in fact misplaced. It is just too easy to do it wrong to make it worthwhile adding the folders/resource configs manually... especially when there are aps out there that do it for you. Thanks a lot for your reply, but I JUST figured out what I did wrong. It was terribly idiotic of me to forget something like this, but unfortunately I did. You see, after reinstalling TS3 I forgot to download and apply Delphy's hack framework again along with Awesomemod, which is obviously essential for its use. I thought it was strange that I didn't already have a Mods\Packages folder when I reinstalled TS3, and figured I must have created them manually when I really got them from the framework.zip provided on MATY and linked to in the main Awesomemod thread. Man, I feel like such a dickhead for not remembering/reading the main thread over again -- I thought I had everything that Awesomemod needed to function. Apparently not. Thanks for being the only one to reply to my inquiries, but I guess being ignored is better than being chastised for being a dummy (although being chastised for being a dummy would have made this problem much less tedious, frustrating, and time consuming). |

If you're talking about the RLD to RZR update then you will need to do some registry editting to get it to work properly. Locate the SKU file in your registry by either searching (CTRL+F) "SKU" or manually locating the Sims 3 folder. In Vista64bit edition, it's found in this directory: HLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sims\The Sims 3
If you use CTRL+F make sure it's the Sims 3 folder and not some other folder Look at the directory to verify.
Next right-click on SKU and change the value from 7 to 2. That should fix it. Enjoy!
I'm using Windows XP so I do not know which registry file to edit from your instruction it is different. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Electronic Arts Contains one key that says (value not set) \Sims 3 has nothing \Launcher\Settings has six items in it, CCDisabled DateTimeOffline FirstRun PageIndex UpdateMode Could the last one be it? Data says 0x000...1 (1) Someone can tell me who knows this if that is safe to change or not? Changing only the skuversion.txt did not help it to start. I am talking about the RLD TO RZR update, which seems like it was a bad idea now. Also in case anyone inquires, file permissions are correct - so I really don't know why it complains about the version number :/ So I've managed to update my Sims 3 to v1.0.631, but now I'm having the same problem as nanacake -- at first I tried to simply patch it, but it says I had the wrong regional version or something and it won't patch to 1.2.7 at all. Then I tried locating SKU in the registry, and like nanacake cannot find it (I'm on Vista32bit as opposed to 64, but my directories are the same as nana). Any help would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. After restarting my computer, I was able to find SKU in the register under the directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sims\The Sims 3, if that helps you at all nanacake. It may be different for you because you're under XP while I'm under Vista 32bit. Now to see if that patch doesn't crap out on me... EDIT 2: The patch didn't crap out on me and the game runs fine, it's just that now Awesomemod doesn't work. I removed it and installed it again, but to no avail. I tried shift-clicking my sims in game and no pie menu option for changing traits or age transitioning appear. I'll try again, the third time's a charm... EDIT 3: Awesomemod still fails to work in my game -- it's as if it isn't there at all. On a side note, when I first reinstalled TS3 I had to manually create the Mods\Packages folder. Does hold any significance? |

Would anybody be able to direct me to the RLD to RZR patch/update? My Sims 3 version is currently 1.0.615.00107 according to skuversion.txt, and I've scoured google for the patch to 1.0.631 but have come up empty handed. Torrenting the razor1911 version of Sims 3 is a last resort, because who wants to wait a few hours (again) to play? I mean, I could always play the RELOADED version, but when I realized awesomemod wouldn't work unless I updated the Sims 3 (and I can't even get to 1.2.7 because I don't have 1.0.631) a little part inside of me died. Your help would be greatly appreciated!
