Even after deactivating the Tamper Protection, I still get the same thing, minus the Symantec alert.


Yes, I've restarted more than once. No effect.

In any case, I may need to uninstall and reinstall my game at this time, as something borked my game and caused the visuals to get all screwy.

If this helps any, these are the processes I see running on my comp:

*Shrug* Dunno what I may be doin' wrong, but it doesn't seem to be catching anything...



After several tries, this is all I seem to get...

I have followed all the steps (I hope), deleted all the .cache files, removed all my mods...There are only three .package files now in the Mods/Packages folder (all other mods have been deleted from my computer), the latest AM, ISM, and AM Config .package files. The older versions have been removed along w/all my other mods...

So why do I keep getting this?



And then there's this:



Notice I have nothing Sims-related running here, just the error message from TS3 Helper Monkey, and the EA DL Manager, which I'm not even connected to atm. The same thing happened to me a few days ago, when I had just AM and the Config.

[FYI: I am running off of Windows XP, playing the game on an external drive--E:\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 {Mods/Packages and dl'd Resource file are stored on same drive, in the root folder}, and my Sims game is updated to 1.2.7 {1.3 patch wouldn't install, which I guess is just as well, considering all the bugs it's supposedly infested with}.]
