St Claire has been upadted for supernatural and seasons :

http://awesims.sixty-ten.net/2013/01/28/st-claire-a-world-for-the-sims-3-updated-for-seasons-supernatural/

Didn't try it yet so I have no further opinion about it but it's also supposed to have been cleaned of bugs and populated more.

I'm playing with AM, and I have no problem breeding my horses. I just got the message saying that my mare is prengnant.
But I have Twallan's Woohooer too, so maybe that's the reason as it affects pets Woohoo as well...

You answered your own question, it works as said on the download page.

Absolutely !
Sometimes it leads to very interesting though strange discussions with myself.
But it's not very often.

Of course  I won't stand someone else pointing and laughing at one of my countries even if I was doing the same myself only moments ago 

Still I won't get upset, just won't be able to stand listening without pointing to the other side of the coin and telling about all the great things that also exist in said country.
In all fairness I'll probably even begin with "You're not wrong, but ...."

Well except if it's someone I dislike ! Then there will be fighting 

I don't sell myself and other French people short, I love a lot about France, French people and French culture, but I also know it's faults.

It's my non French side speaking.
That's the thing when you're bi-cultural, one side of you sometimes feels the urge to point and laugh at you other side.
The problem being that if you're living in the country of the side being laugh at it's hard to find people to share the fun.

TV shows, books and horse-riding trips around the world where all the other tourist were English are the ways I learned to speak it.

Some pointers on how to better integrate in french culture even if you don't speak it perfectly : throw some "merde !" here an there, complain about everything and be vocal about it and remember that french are always right just because they are french so don't try to argue with them.

Really, being french is not that hard even though speaking the language can be!

Of course then the question would be : who the heck would want to integrate in french culture when he doesn't have to ?  It's french !   

Mine didn't make any sandcastle. I didn't even know he could raise sculpting like that : good to know !

But he had his first skillpoints with the after school activities. He already was a teen though not a child so I'm not sure it's the same.

Also it seems it's only when the school bus arrives that it happens, not when you cancel the sculpting action on the queue for another reason.


Now my teen is grown up so I'll try making him sculpt before the carpool arrives to see if it happens with work as it did with school.

I have one of the teens maxing his sculpting skill.
After breakfast I make him sculpt and when the school bus arrives he finishes the sculpture instantly even if he just began  30 in-game min before.

Did someone else notice this ?

Nope, it doesn't place them in the right directory, and I'm very well aware of that.

Since the 1.22/Generations version of AM is still in testing, I figured I would leave it this way and release v2.6.1 (which, of course, works properly) when AM is considered stable.
I didn't want to create a situation like 'if you have this patch, use this version, if you have that patch, use that one' et cetera.

If you want, you can use the one attached below. It's still in 'beta', but should work fine.

Very understandable, that's why I didn't post here before. I was waiting for you to update when Am would become officially Generation's compatible.

I decided to state the FPS limiter problem because I saw a lot of people here saying they were using your installer with Generations so or I was wrong or they were playing without FPS and were risking to fry their graphic card.

I'll install and try this and let you know if I find any issue.
Thanks !

Yes that's not very helpful but at least things aren't too boring that way !

It's possible that I'm completely wrong but I double checked and I'm pretty sure it's not the case : the updater isn't working for generations. Don't know about an earlier EP with the latest patch (1.22).

It works as far as downloading the proper AM version and installing it as it should be.
But the booter and most of all the FPS limiter are placed in the wrong directory.

With this EP things have changed, there is a Generations folder but the new main exe is not there : it's in the basegame directory. So Booter and FPS limiter should be placed there too and not in the generations directory.
That's what I did manually and ran the game from there and it works fine.

For those who keep using the updater since they installed Generations : are you all sure that FPS limiter is working fine?

American or Brit, English it's as hard for us poor French.

Not only because some "two words" are "one word" for us and the other way around (cheap doesn't exist in France and it's  not only because of the economical crisis. The word doesn't exist we say "not expensive" or  literally "good market" (bon marché).

But that's not the most confusing.
The worst are "it" we only have feminine and masculine, we don't know what to do or when to use "it". 
And the way we phrase things.
You'll say UFO (unknown flying object) we say OVNI (objet volant non identifié = object flying not identified).

To be able to speak in another language the trick is to be able to think in that language. If you form the sentence in your mother tongue and then try to translate you'll fail.
When speaking it's highly impractical because it's very slow and when you write it's more manageable but you'll never be able to phrase things properly. You'll end up writing as if you used an online translator.

Anyway, thank you Witch, I'm happy to know that I'm not that bad and certainly will continue to post when I have something relevant to share.
I usually don't feel the need to post because what I have to say or ask has already been said or answered. It's just about looking in the right place.

For those wondering I'm french, Doesn't excuse the mistakes though as I could have re-read once more and/or used a tool to check the spelling.
I was at work and didn't have enough time to do so.

My bad! I should have waited to be home as I fully know that proper grammar/spelling is expected when posting here.
Will do so next time.

Oups... seems that I have still a lot of work before I'm good at speaking/writing english.

Thanks for correcting my mistakes !

I usually don't answer in this kind of threads but I don't know why today I can't resist...



As already stated by madame Mim you are expected to understand how folder pathing works.
You would then have been able to find the test folder without anyone's help.




The logic is very easy to understand :
If you're not able to find the test version of AM by yourself you won't be able to test and report bugs properly.
You'll still ask for help when your game will get borked and instead of beeing helpful in the testing process you'll be a bother thus slowing said process.

That's why Matty denizens don't want the test version to be given to just anyone that want's it.

Exactly, the result is nothing, just the cheat window closing and that's all.
No message or any other reply.

yes I do, I often use other commands, such as moveobjects or fixall and it works fine.

I also use the same aweconf.package on both computers to be sure that I won't have differences.
I play with only one saved game that I transfer from one computer to the other, so I copy everything (mods, CC etc...) to be sure that I won't have problems.

I have a problem when I use the "help" command while playing on my laptop. I type the command and nothing happens.

I also have a main computer that used to run with win XP and now has win 7. When I use the same command on it it works fine and I get the list of all the existing commands.Of course the game, patches, mods and CC are the same on both computers and everything but that command works fine and the same way in both computers.

Does someone know what could be the problem ?

The only particularity I can think of is that at first the ctrl+shift+c didn't work as it was used to open a program. I removed the shortcut of course and don't have that problem anymore but I thought it could be related and was worth mentioning just in case.

When you install an add-on the game reverts to the original option settings.
So you are playing with age length normal, story progression on and TS2 aging off.

I didn't play in vacation worlds with AM since I installed Ambitions, but on a vanilla game (WA+Ambitions no Hacks) my Sims can't dig anymore, they have a "route fail" when trying even if they are standing just in front of the dig site.

So I guess Ambitions broke it and AM is just reflecting this.

Tried the last version of AM (06/06 at 02:15 am) with WA+Ambitions but no HELS, all my CC but no hacks except nointro and I deleted all the Cache files before running the game with AM.

I started a new game in the new neighborhood (Twinsomething) :

As someone said I noticed a lot of derelict cars, but my Sims who is in the business career had no problem going to work.

His kid couldn't go to school though and I noticed that in map view the school is "flagged" with a bench and not the usual hat. I guess the building isn't recognized as a school.
I checked and it's the same in Sunset valley.

No crash, Flagrant error or any other problem but I have been playing with Ambitions without Am for a while (20 to 25 hours maybe) and never had one either.
In fact since installing Am I stopped having error 12 while saving and my game is much faster (except while loading/saving).

Tried the new Awesomemod (8h55) and beside the well known work/opportunity bugs I noticed  a problem while using supreme commander.

My sim was prompted to go to the bathroom, there were 2 near him, twin bathrooms but one for women and another for men. This is a new "Ambition" feature, there a re now doors that work by gender.

He was in front of the "women" one, and the command was popping, failing and popping again, like an infinite loop when the "men" bathroom was just one step to the right.

I made my Sims go inside the proper bathroom, end of the problem.

I saw the post saying that you didn't install ambitions yet so you couldn't have notice this problem, so for future reference a workaround will be needed ...

I tested it for one hour or so with a new family I created when I got ambitions and everything seemed to be working well until it was time to send one of my kids to school.
I discovered that there wasn't any school anymore. The building is there, it's a community building but not a school and if i try to modify it's use i don't find school in the list.

I know it was working well before I installed Awesomemod because the same kid went to school for 2 days.
I tried with a new family in the new neighborhood and got the same problem.

I tried removing all my other hacks and leaving only Awesomemod, same problem.
I then removed Awesomemod  and the school came back and is working (the kid is at school right now).

I have WA but no HELS, all up to date.

It's the only problem I noticed so far.
