Although i have somehow managed to get it working now (and i really have no idea how) I want to thank you for this cos i'm going to follow these directions to the letter the next time i have to reinstall it (which no doubt will be another few days)....oh and btw, my husband sailed this afternoon with the Navy and therefore no chance of a quickie for a few months but have opted for a bottle of wine instead of lunch!

I do have a question, i have the config running as default and therefore didn't expect families to move out and disappear but they are. When they move out, although i can 'invite them over' from another sims house, i can't find them either in the sim bin or moved to another house...firstly, why are they moving out if the 'noone gets out alive' thing is on, secondly, where the hell do they go?

I'm not too bothered about the crashing screen to be honest so i just live with it...have done a search on 'enablescripterror.package' but can't find anything on here.....where can I find it please. Cheers in advance.

OK, so time for another reinstall as it's out of date again.....but guess what, did exactly what i did last time to get the bogging thing to work and can't again. Deleted all cache files, deleted awesomemod, downloaded awesomemod, put it back in folder.....still got the 'expired' message and kicked out. Tried without awesomemod, loads fine, tried again with awesomemod, same expired message. WTF am I doing wrong, i've done the same as last time?

That is where i had the difficulty in identifying which ones so i have now deleted all files with 'cache' in the title (although only files in ts3 directory rather than any other contained within other folders in there) along with the scriptcache which i already had deleted and I don't want to jinx myself but it has loaded and i've switched households a few times to check i'm not losing inventory and all seems good now. Strange how i'm now getting the loading problems with this version though which i never had before with the previous version but I will try the suggestions on the download page and see if that can be improved. Thanks for the non flamey response

At the risk of getting flamed as much as the last guy, I'm also having major problems. I installed awesomemod a couple weeks ago, no problems, game working so I'm not a complete idiot (guess that will be denied in a bit). After getting the expiration message i've tried to do the same as last time although not redownloaded the monkey helper and i just cannot get it to work. Tried just deleting the awesomemod file and then replacing it by using drag and drop into the same place, game does the hang on loading thing, reloaded a few times and when it eventually loaded it still had the expiration message and kicked me back to Windows. Tried as suggested just booting up with no awesomemod and then putting it back on and it booted without awesomemod but when tried to put it on again, same problem.

So deleted everything (and this is where maybe i have more of a problem, knowing exactly WHAT to delete). Used the uninstall for the monkey helper, deleted the awesomemod.package file and the script file in 'my documents'. Reloaded monkey helper, redownloaded awesomemod and when i double click on awesomemod it tells me access is denied. For further info i am the admin on windows so shouldn't be anything to do with my access settings (or should it) and I didn't have his problem with the first install. I have read everything i can find on the forums but it really isn't helping me, i've just spent the last two hours trying to do this myself and would just appreciate a bit of advice or help rather than a 'you're a thick shit' comment.
