1.4 Awesome mod

[Araenna]

I expect to get flamed. However, I did try to use the search. I believe that, somewhere, it was said that the 1.4 version of awesome mod is gone. However, I thought perhaps someone here would have a copy? I can't get any CC to load when I patch my game (it freezes on the load save/new town screen, if it even gets that far), so I figured "Well, screw this, I'm going back to 1.4!". Of course, stupid me, I didn't keep a back-up of awesome mod anywhere. So. Can anyone perhaps help me out?

Unlikely. The 1.4 version has long since expired, and because all code updates are performed in-place to prevent accidental reversion, in keeping with the Cortez School, this version no longer exists. If the game freezes even on a fresh new town, though, something is wrong with your game: Try flushing all the caches or even reinstalling.

I can get it to load, but not with any CC except a no CC crack. Same now with 1.4. I've reinstalled more times than I care to think of. I figure I must be doing something wrong. I think I'm gonna give up for now, and try again when I'm less likely to make stupid mistakes from frustration.

You have bad CC. Hop over to this thread at MTS for more information:

Thanks so much! I think I finally figured out my problem. Has to do with TSR sims3packs I made into package files, it looks like. Gonna try another update to 1.7, and see if that fixes it.

Nope. Still can't figure out why my game won't load. I've been trying to figure out what CC it is, but I'm having trouble with it.

Try a binary search, it is fast: Take half of your CC, and plop it in. If it doesn't load, take the half you put in, split that in half, and put one half of that in. If it doesn't load, take half of the stuff you didn't put in, and put that in instead. Repeat until you've narrowed it down. Even if you had 65000 items, it would take only 16 attempts to find the single culprit.

Between that and using the process monitor, I figured out what was borking my game finally. It actually loads now! Thanks for all the help guys. It gets so frustrating sometimes, trying to figure out what's causing the game to bug this time. I just get unlucky with it, I think.

[Silent Dreamer]

Yeah. I took about 50 files out last night, but I'll probably do a binary run through my mods to see if I can't put some of it back. Probably not though, what I've seen on MTS most of the stuff I removed is being reported now anyway. Alas.

Glad you got it working though.

[Araenna]

Yeah, that's what I'm doing now. As well as downloading my sims3pack files I had mad into packages. Ugh, I hate those, so unorganized..
