Bah, too much reading... Anyway, I'll try using the TS3.exe file after I've got everything squared away, in the future. Thanks again for the help, everyone.

Thanks for the help, unfortunately, it's still not working... I've got a hunch there might have been something I installed that's causing a compatibility issue. And since I don't have the time to go through everything I've ever installed... I'll just re-install the entire game, and see what I can do with a fresh copy.

"Base Game Version 1.3.24 or 1.4.6." according to the rtfm that came with the download.

I've also got the most recent patch from Thesims3.com.

I'm no using any no-CD cracks.

And before anyone asks, the CD is actually in the drive (I've checked three times now, to make sure that pizza I had earlier wasn't making me hallucinate).

Mhmm... I'm not sure you fully read my post.

But to humor you, I downloaded the most recent version of the awesomemod not five minutes ago (the exact same one I already have, I might add).

Same issue.

Well, this is cute. So, I recently re-installed my Sims 3 game. The base game, nothing special added to it.

I then proceeded to install the Sims 3 Helper Monkey from ModtheSims2, and then came here, downloaded and installed the most recent version of the Awesomemod, and the configuration tool.

I then proceeded to enjoy my awesomed'up version of the Sims 3.

This was less than a week ago. A new version of the Awesomemod has not been released in that time.

Yesterday, I got the "Awesomemod expiry" pop-up thing, telling me my version of the Awesomemod was about to expire, and that I needed a new version. Lo and behold, WHAT new version?

So, I figure "Wait till tomorrow. Snowball's chance in hell, but maybe there will be a new update."

Today I start my game, and it tells me "No game disc found! Please insert the sims 3 game disc before proceeding."

I remember that my game seems to think I'm using an obsolete awesome mod, and need to install a new one.

So I come here, and, wow, what a surprise! There is no new version!

Now, obviously this is something I, personally am doing wrong, since I seem to be the only person having problems with it. Is there a simple updater I need to install, but have temporarily become mentally retarded, and can't find? Or how can I "refresh" my awesomemod, to stop it from thinking I'm using an obsolete version?
