Weird Crash --- can't find any sort of solution.

If you are running Awesomemod then you need to patch.

really??? I seriously didn't know that.

TO THE AWESOME MOD THREAD!

[jriggs]

And you should get rid of that sig.  It is huge, animated and bright.  That is like 3 strikes around here!

[Georgette]

I've just installed the Awesome Mod today, for the first time as I've only just returned to the sims 3. I have the same annoying error on my iMac.

But why?

It's violent.

[Georgette]

Yeah and it's also annoying, and has already derailed this thread. Anything that slows the solving of this fucking annoying crash needs to be removed.

It hasn't derailed it
The fact people have reffered to it has.

Plus, my problem is that I haven't updated my game...have you tried deleteing all your CC?

[Georgette]

I don't have any CC. I have literally just reinstalled the the sims 3 and put the very latest AwesomeMod in as I have only just returned to the sims 3 have a month return to TS2.

Did patch? Please tell me you patched. It's all over this thread that running awesomemod not patching or having a borked patch install will crash the damned game and I will be forced to beat you upside the head with a fish if you read this thread and still did not patch.

Also, if you did make sure the patch took. I have no clue what version the Mac exe file patched is, but you could try checking the game version in the launcher at least.

Honestly there is a lot of talk and suggestions about what to do if you get crashes and I even started a whole thread about it. I suggest you try all those various suggestions and if you still are having issues, well then report back and we'll see what we can do.

I've got it working now. Downloaded the patch but it still took the deletion of the script cache 6 times before it would work. But it's working now, and that's all that matters. 

Thanks for the reminder to check the patching and read the thread again. I fail at common sense sometimes 

Finally got AwesmodMod for the first time now and thoroughly enjoying using The Rapture.

As we've said several times, awesomemod does not work with the unpatched game. Done. Period. End of story. Thank you drive thru.

Oh, ok.
Which patch do i have to get? 1.4 or does it work with 1.2?

[J. M. Pescado]

1.3/1.4 is the currently supported patch. (There were no script changes from 1.3 to 1.4).

Okay so apparently I also am having the CTD problem when selecting a save to load. The only thing is it wasn't doing it yesterday, and I haven't changed anything. The only thing I may have done is update Awesomemod! I am patched up to 1.4.

I'm also having this problem. Just did a fresh install (having uninstalled the game awhile back) and put in the latest version of AwesomeMod . No dice. I saw this thread and installed Patch 1.3, and I'm still having the same issue. I'm not sure what to do.

Before I go any further, I want to thank Pescado for the auto save feature. Without it, I would have uninstalled this turkey yesterday and been done with this entire EA fiasco. The auto save feature makes the CTDs bearable. At least until something changes or I figure out what the hell I'm doing to contribute to the problem.  I'm inclined to think it's my computer at this point. I have a Celeron Processor (yes, I know, I know. But the price was right at the time). It's only a few months old and I have plenty RAM and a compatible video card with adequate board memory. The game generally plays smoothly, without lags, the graphics look great, and, until this started, I had no real problems with it other than the rare error 13 code and the now rectified 1am freeze.  Everything is patched and all drivers are updated.

That said, since it's begun crashing semi-regularly, I've (finally) noticed a trend. The last several times the game CTDed the characters were in the park in Sunset Valley.  I've been tracking my CPU temperature and it doesn't appear to be any warmer after the crash than it was before. I'm using the 3booter and the fpslimter and last night I turned on Vsync just to be on the safe side.  After emptying all the cache files I played for a blissful couple of hours without a snag. This morning it ran smoothly during the thirty minutes or so I had to play it in. This afternoon it crashed just ten minutes into the play--minutes after I sent a character to the park.   

I'm just reaching here because I'm only just now beginning to understand some of this. Could this have something to do with the frame rate?  The park is a big place with a lot of activity--running water, cars passing, sims running around, etc. If I slow down my frame rate (and I'll have to look up how to do that)--do you suppose it will help?

i had this EXACT same issue, It was my other CC conflicting with the mod, go into your cc and Move EVERYTHING except awesome mod and run the game. If it works then its trial and error, slowly keep adding stuff untill you get to where it crashes again and try to weed out which download caused the issue, Luckily I have all my cc organized so It was easy for me to fnd out which thing was causing the problem.
!
GOOD LUCK
