Flagrant System Error

[J. M. Pescado]

If downloading a new AwesomeMod doesn't fix it, then you have an older version lurking in your mods directory that is overriding it. Get rid of it.

I found an old one that I put into 'Patterns' instead of 'Hacks' for some reason, causing me to have two. Deleted and now it works fine. Thank you very much!

Just got a new FSE with the build I updated with this morning, happened right after the Grim Reaper was done collecting my Sims soul and he decided to stay.


edited to add: restarting the game did not help get rid of this FSE it just kept popping up every few seconds so I had to revert back to an old save, so far it has not happened again.

Also just got Flagrant System Error.  Not sure what is going on, as far as I know nothing of note is in my sim's inventory (no food).  It pops up every few seconds so I can't save.

Okay, an update and a little more info:

I quit my last game unsaved because the error came every few seconds.  I restarted, emptied my sims' inventories of -everything,- and moved them to a new house, just to be sure.  I had the same error, at the exact same -time-.  11:03 PM, sim time.  One of my sims naturally aged up around 9 PM from YA to Adult.  That is the most recent significant event that occured before the freeze (although the first time, a toddler learned to walk in there too).  The sims in the house aren't doing anything other than watching TV, sleeping, or using the toilet.  I have no idea what's going on.

Awesomemod is the only mod I have installed.  
I haven't downloaded any new custom content for at least a month.  


Edit:  I managed to get passed the 11 o'clock flagrant error by fast forwarding, and managed to get through a couple days like this (and saving every other minute or so).  However, I forgot to do it on a different day, and the error still occurred in the 11 o'clock hour, and enter/clicking the okay button would not clear it, it would just pop up over and over.

Have you tried a new game? 

See if your older saved game has become screwed, which can, and does happen.

[J. M. Pescado]

That error seems to be a bug in a deep check tree. Unfortunately, this is not specifically part of AwesomeMod, and in a default game, would result in an uncontrolled and silent chain hiccup. You can try using "resetallwants" to try to cleanup the want table, that may help, but otherwise it seems something has become unravelled in your neighborhood.

Try redownloading the current version of AM.  I got a nasty case of FSE which looks siilar to yours.  Pescado got it fixed and reposted a new AM.  Don't always rely on the official download site for details about new update.  Pes only posts there when significant changes or fixes are applied to AM.  It can actually be updated several times a day.

If it has been a few days since you downloaded, then the problem is possibly fixed.  But if you are using the current version, then ignore.

I just got a Flagrant System Error, when I was trying to use the Tomb Raider setting on Supreme Commander. A screenshot of the message is here.

I have a new Flagrant System Error that I haven't seen anybody answer or even report to. When I start my game up, it says that my version of Awesomemod has expired as of 22 hundred hours and I need a new version of awesomemod to continue using it. Then it shuts my Sims 3 down. Common sense says I need a new awesome mod, but reinstalling the zip didn't do anything. Do I need to refresh my aweconfig? Sorry if this has already been explained or gone over, but I couldn't find anything easily that mentioned this sort of thing. What should I do?

i am having this same error, and have checked all my mods, but i did not find another copy of it. idk what to do. plz help

Is/are your game(s) fully updated?  For base game only, this means to 1.8 and for WA this means to 2.3.  If not, AwesomeMod will be incompatible as Pescado is not maintaining two versions anymore. 

If you are fully patched, then you may have an old copy of AwesomeMod lurking somewhere in your folders.  You will need to perform a search to ensure that is not the case.

Yes, my game is fully updated and running WA.

I also took out awesome mod out and ran the game. It worked, so I re-downloaded awesome mod and it still didnt work but now it doesn't work again.

Have you dumped the cache files as well? How about tried running a clean neighborhood?

[wizard_merlin]

Try clearing your browser cache files, not just the game ones.  It could be, as many people have found out, your browser may be giving you an older cached version of AM rather than downloading a new version.

[shadogate]

i have deleted the CASPartCache, compositorCache, scriptCache, and simCompositorCache.

it still does not work

i also do not have the WorldCache folder in the sims 3 folder in my documents

[Silent Dreamer]

I have deleted the CASPartCache, compositorCache, scriptCache, and simCompositorCache files.

It still does not work.

I also do not have the WorldCache folder in the "The Sims 3" folder in "my documents."

Apparently fixing your grammar the first time wasn't a proper hint. So here's your final kick in the ass. Additionally, did you follow wizard_merlin's suggestion to dump your browser cache files and re-download AwesomeMod properly?

[shadogate]

Yes, I have tried deleting the browser cache files and re-downloading awesome mod, but still nothing. =\

[Silent Dreamer]

Are you deleting the file or overwriting it when you download a clean one? Have you tried restarting your computer?

Why the hell were you wasting our time if you didn't try running the game with Awesomemod alone first to verify it really was an Awesomemod issue? Jesus fuck.

I just read through all of these posts, and I plan on testing every fix offered.  I was wondering though:  is it at all possible that the Flagrant System Error can be caused by CC other than mods & hacks?  I have been experiencing the "blue lot syndrome" ever since patching to 1.8 and I have had nothing but problems ever since.  I have started to sift through all of my custom content and have begun sending each piece through Delphy's Blue Lot Object Fixer, but I still have a long way to go (about 2,000 more files done one-by-one).  

Is it possible that the FSE can be resolved after I fix all of my custom content?  Has anyone experienced that?  I have removed all other mods except for AM and the error persists (and I made SURE that I have no other versions of AM anywhere on this computer).

Thanks for all the helpful advice in this thread.  I'm hoping something will work short of having to reinstall this damned thing.

[J. M. Pescado]

That particular error could only happen as a result of a corrupted neighborhood file, so something has gone terminally pear-shaped in your game.

Ouch...not good to hear.    Are we talking "kiss your sweet ass goodbye" terminal or "miracles do happen" terminal?

And thanks for replying so quickly, Pes.

I have one of these too. I tried to get my sim to walk from her house at 99 Landgraab to the diner. First, she snapped back to the middle of her lot. When I tried making her walk again, I got this error. Then I bought her a bike (sadly, since this girl is for the Questionable Morals Challenge) and tried again with the same error message (it looked about the same at least, it's a pretty long message).
