Yes, I can confirm that subfolders still work just fine.
At MTS they put up a guide to doing the EA Mods folder shenanigans, and it's very simple to follow.
You can find it here, if you didn't know about it already.

Aw thanks! I just followed the XML hack by pet_peeve, I think, that let me bypass the launcher. I've known about people bypassing it but I never felt the need, until now. I was all eager because it was finally working after I put it in, but of course, I then got to the saved-game screen and it asked for me to put in my valid CD. Death.

Hopefully with the release of the updated AM this will all be resolved.

@grillcheesesammich, I just rearranged my Mods folder with the resource.cfg directions at MTS, but despite adding the file you listed it's still rejecting me. This was also a strange annoyance when I just had the base game. I'd enable the disc bypass in the config, but it would still ask for a disc. I had a legal copy so it wasn't a big deal, and everything else in AM worked as planned, it was just the disc issue.

Ahh, thanks very much. It installed like a dream! How are you two accessing it without the disc?

Ah, really? I extracted the .rar on the left, and got the folder on the right:



And inside of that folder, well, I'm lost.

Could anyone confirm if the download works for Mac? I downloaded it last night and all I have is a folder full of incomprehensible files, but I don't know if there's some way to make them work or not.

I don't know about the CC theory because I tried it to no avail. My game doesn't crash, it freezes (the kind where you can't click, but bushes and trees keep moving in the background, sounds keep going, etc.)

It may be because I have a Mac, which might contribute to the problem, but after taking out all CC it still froze.

Er, what? Downloading is downloading, period. It doesn't really make a difference whether it's Twallan's no-CD crack or AM, where the crack is included.

It's not SecuROM.

Immortelle, I'm also on a Mac, and I had this same problem a few months ago. I asked EA for help because I couldn't find anyone else who had encountered this issue, much less found a solution. This was their response:

"If you have a variety of programs running in the background on your computer, they may be using a considerable amount of system resources. Closing these unnecessary background processes will help boost system performance in your game, as well as free up system resources which may be conflicting with the game.
1.   From the Finder menu open the Go menu and select Utilities.
2.   Open the Activity Monitor program.
3.   In the top right cornor, make sure the My Processes option is selected from the pull down menu.
4.   Highlight the programs listed one at a time and click the Quit Process button in the top left.
5.   When the confirmation window appears select Force Quit to close the program.
6.   Repeat those steps until only the following four are listed:

- Dock
- Finder
- Login Window
- Activity Monitor

Note: there will be other programs that either will not close, or will re-appear after being closed. Those processes can be skipped.

7. Close the activity monitor and attempt to run the game.

Be aware that this is only a temporary change, restarting the system will restore it to the default state. If closing these programs helps resolve performance issues you may want to go through them one by one to narrow down which program is causing the conflict."

It worked for me, so hopefully it'll work for you.

Are you playing on a Mac?

When I tried this, it wouldn't start at all, ha.

If you have AM, click on the Sim you want to propose, open the cheat bar, and type in 'addtrait HopelessRomantic'.
This should enable you to access the HR trait in the specials menu, and Propose Marriage should be there.
After they propose, open the cheat bar again, and type in 'droptrait HopelessRomantic', and everything will be back to normal.

If you have Indie Stone Mod, you can click on their cell phone, click Tweaks, click Genetically Modify Active Sim, and you're back in CAS.
Alternatively, if you have AwesomeMod, I'm pretty sure you can revert to CAS by entering in the cheat bar, "editsim [Sim name]", but I'm not completely sure about that.
