I'm hoping this is the right thread to bring this up in.

I started getting a warning yesterday that I need to update my game by Oct 30/2010. I have tried all 3 of the links for awesome.zip that are in the main "download the mod" thread, and all of them are the same version as the one I already had installed and they give me the same "error" message. I then tried the awetest1.8.1.zip and the updater ran fine and said that it updated but still I am getting the error message. I also tried the v2 beta test and that cause the game to lock while loading on the sims 3 ambitions page before it even gets to the point where it would show me the message (or let me chose my game to load).

I would appreciate any help or advice as I really like the awesomemod and I don't want to have to stop using it tomorrow because it's "expired". Thanks a bunch for any help you can provide!
