Repeated Expiry Deadlocks

[cobaltspectre]

After growing tired of Sims 3's bugginess, I gave it a year's break.  I grew nostalgic after a year, installed a couple expansions, AwesomeMod, and played a few days when I received the message that it was time to install the new version of AwesomeMod.  I tried to install the latest version as I had an hundred times, before, but, it wouldn't take.  I installed the update, but, I was still told that my version was out of date and my game was shut down. 

I searched the board for information on the problem, and the nearest I could find to advice on something similar to my problem suggested, "Nuke it from Orbit."  I had months' of progress from over a year ago, but, not much from recently.  So, I just let it go and nuked it, reinstalled, and got it working, again.

Now, it's the first update for Awesomemod, and I have the same problem.  I deleted the caches, swapped in the newer version, and I still receive the message that my version is out of date. 

Obviously, it's impractical to "nuke the game from orbit" every time a new version of the mod is released.  Could someone please guide me toward a solution to my problem so that I don't need to reinstall my game, again?

If you're getting this message, this means you have a second older copy of the file dangling around: Don't blame the expiration date, it's just identifying this problem for you, otherwise you'd be trying to run with two versions, thinking you have the right one, but not.

Thanks!  I'll see if I can find it.
