1  Awesomeware / AwesomeMod! / Re: Deleting the Awesome Mod?! on: 2010 June 02, 19:22:04
I just found that some of my custom content has disapeared and my game is completely fucked up... it no longer shows the family members on the left side of the screen and my Sims' names have been changed and loads of bugs such as my sim being stuck in a sofa have appeared... is this because I deleted the awesome mod?

If I re-download the piece of shit will it go back to normal?

See, this is why people who have no clue should NOT be messing with mods. I am in no way a computer expert but next to you I look like a genius.  Roll Eyes

First, why would you even have copies in BOTH My docs and Program files? The AwesomeMod package file, and the aweconfig file, if you use it, go in your Mods directory in either your base game or WA directories. Got that so far? It does not even go in your My Docs folder (although that may change with Ambitions, but that's another topic). Along with this Mod folder which contains your AM file and any other CC package files you have installed goes your framework file. Did you also delete the framework? If you have other custom content that you did not install with the launcher, you have to have that framework file. Deleting it could be causing your crashing.

OTOH, if you HAVE moved the Mods folder to your My docs directory, as EA says to do now, it could be some other custom content that you have installed that is causing your crashing. Or you could still have a copy of it somewhere on your PC and need to do a search and destroy mission. Also definitely do as sora says and delete your cache files in My Documente > Electronic Arts directory.

Finally, did you or did you not start the game with AM and use the features of AM in your game? Depending on which features you used, your game might be just fine even without AM, but sora actually explained it rather well - some of the features of AM will change the game to the extent that it will no longer be playable without it. I could be wrong, but I think this will mostly be affected by the Supreme Commander features, but someone will correct me shortly if I'm wrong.

I haven't actually had a chance to even try out ANY of the features of Awesome Mod. EA realeased their new Patch literally RIGHT AFTER I downloaded the Awesome Mod so it immediately said that the mod was out of date but it won't allow me to delete it.

Try to decide now, do you wanna keep it or delete it?

If you want to keep it then you either 1. don't install new EP and patches till there is new compatible awesome mod available or 2. Install patches/EP and wait till there is compatible Awesome mod. It doesn't "ruin" your saved games but since the mod allows things you normally couldn't do in your game the save data is different than if you had played it without Awesome mod. I'm pretty sure somewhere here it said "once you use awesome mod there is no turning back without exploding your game" or something.

You know what? I suck at explaining. Somebody who knows what they're talking about please do explain :/

Thanks for trying  Wink
I'm beginning to think that they should put a warning on the page where you download the Awesome Mod saying:
ONCE YOU DOWNLOAD THIS MOD, IT IS NEAR TO IMPOSSIBLE TO DELETE IT WITHOUT LOSING ALL OF YOUR SAVED GAMES AND DOWNLOADED CONTENT!!!

EDIT: I REALLY can't afford to delete my game because I made an entire new island for a Sims series I made and so there's no way I can replicate all the sims and lots... Also it's Season 2 of the series so I can't exactly just stop making them coz Season 1 kinda left a big clue that there was another series...

I'm not an expert but if you want to use awesome mod, then just wait couple of days till it gets updated. You can manage without playing that long right?

If you really wanna get rid of it you can try deleting ScriptCache file from (my) documents-> Electronic arts-> Sims 3 folder and see if that clears it. Also make sure you don't have any copy of Awesome mod hiding somewhere, do a good search in Program Files->Electronic arts-> Sims 3 folder and if you have other expansion/stuff packs check their folders too to be sure. You probably will have to start new save file though. :\

Erm, hi I'm new, lurked for years and finally registered, please don't throw rocks at me, those hurt. *hides*

Even if I decide to keep it? Why, does it ruin your saved games whenever there is a new patch?

I don't really mind having the mod as long as it doesn't wreck my game  Undecided

You're fucked.

You cannot remove awesomemod and continue playing. Your save games are forever altered and cannot be played without using awesomemod.

So, what if I download awesome mod but disable everything that it does? Will that ruin my game in any way or will it just make the game the same as if you didn't have awesome mod?

I'd like to begin by apologising in case there is already a thread about this but I could not find one that is specifically about what I am asking. I have literally looked at most of the ones that are SIMILAR but none that actually solve my problem. I don't want to reinstall the Awesome Mod, I just want to delete it.

I only installed it because I wanted to be able to edit my Sims after they have been created but I had no idea it would cause this much trouble. I understand that a new patch came out and so it has stopped working on many peoples' computer but when I tried to delete it, nothing changes. I did not even have a chance to try the mod because literaly right after I downloaded it, EA release the new patch so I didn't get a chance to even try it out at all.

I deleted it from both my Documents AND Program Files including the original file I saved it as. However, my game STILL gives me a message just before it plays the intro and then it exits onto my Desktop right after the intro. I don't understand why it is still giving me a message saying that a mod has crashed the game because it does not function when the mod is no longer existant on my computer... Please help me delete/solve this problem  Cry

PS. Please use really simple language because I am NOT a computer person and I don't understand a thing about what some of the threads I have looked at tell you to do.  Undecided
