I've got a problem with AM.
First off, I use a Mac OS X and have not bought World Adventures yet. I Just now downloaded and 'installed' Framework and AM following coconnor's instructions (placed AM in the Mods>Packages folder and Resources.cfg in the Sims 3 directory). When I first tried the game, it loaded fine but gave me a pop up saying something along the lines of, "We can't verify that you're using a valid Sims 3 CD. Contact Customer Support." Then it quit the game. So, I removed FW and AM from the folder and tried loading the game again. Loaded fine. I then quit out and put FW and AM back in the S3 directory to see if the problem was lingering or a one-time thing. Interestingly enough the game loaded fine and I didn't get the Customer Support pop up. So I started playing, opened up the cheat console, and typed 'showconfig'. I got an 'unknown command' message.
What should I do about this?
Try downloading a fresh AM and reload it in your game. I run Mac OS too, I'm still troubleshooting my game because i can't seem to get it to work. Also...uhm, try taking out any cc and just leave AM. I find it to work that way when I do it, that way when you put back your cc you know it can't be AM and it must be something else you're doing.. Hope I helped..If not...*shrug*
Edit: And the "We can't verify that blah blahzy blah" message i think has to do with you running the game for the first time and either not registering it or SecuROM being a retard...just a guess, I could be wrong though
Thanks. I'm gonna try that now...
Took out FW and AM (slipped my mind that you only said AM - my bad) and opened the game launcher. The Welcome tab is showing this "HTTP Status 500" error page; an 'Exception Report' with the given description being, "The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request." This remained even I put FW back, and when I deleted AM. I took FW out again and tried loading the game despite the strange Welcome-tab error page. Loaded fine, seemed to play fine. Same when I put FW back. (I know; I do too much.
) Re-downloaded AM, and placed it in Mods>Packages folder. Game loaded fine again (error message
still on the Welcome tab!) but 'showconfig' still said 'Unknown Command'. *headdesk*
I don't think Custom Content's an issue here. I downloaded FW and AM at the same time; everything that could be considered CC was downloaded straight form the Sims 3 website with the free points. And as for "running the game for the first time", I've been playing TS3 for a couple months now. But that message hasn't showed up again yet, so... meh.
Hmm... looking back at the install instructions on the Manual page...
Place in TS3/Mods/Packages. Requires Hack Framework.
Install optional configuration package.
Delete the file MYDOCU~1/ELECTR~1/THESIM~1/scriptcache.package.... yeah. *skullcrack* Someone's pointing at this and laughing at me right now. Shamelessly.
Okay, NOW let me try it...
Loads fine, same ol' same ol'... aaaand, 'Unknown Command' again.
Any other ideas?
