Crashing to desktop

[Twilight Oracle]

I have absolutely no other game modifications. But for some reason, this mod keeps causing my game to load up fine but then immediately shut down and crash to the desktop.

I tried using it before I patched my game and still had this problem. Patching my game did nothing to remedy it.

Help?

Use search!

It could be a framwork fail.

1. Search. If you must, use "Advanced search", tough I realize that may be too "techie" for you and others of your ilk.
2. Look at the "AM help and tips" or whatever it's called thread. It's right there!
3. Remember to breathe

Making new topics over shit that's been discussed to death AND already has AN EXISTING TOPIC OF ITS VERY OWN is just idiotic and will garner you no help at all.

Having been burned by this, I figured it out, and it's been mentioned several times but needs to be addressed in the sticky.

The 'versions' in the download links are counterintuitive.  They should state more clearly that they are referring to your 'Sims' version, not the mod version.  Many people are downloading the wrong mod because the other one says 'experimental.'

The language reads :

1.7.9/1.7.11/2.2.8 VERSION:
MIRROR 1:  awesome.zip
MIRROR 2:  awesome.zip

1.8/2.3 TEST VERSION:
MIRROR 1:  awesome.zip
MIRROR 2:  awesome.zip

It instead needs to read something like :

Check your Sims/WA version before downloading!

Current: (beta) for WA 1.8 / TS3 2.3
MIRROR 1:  awesome.zip
MIRROR 2:  awesome.zip

Legacy version: (stable) for WA 1.7.9/1.7.11 / TS3 2.2.8
MIRROR 1:  awesome_legacy.zip
MIRROR 2:  awesome_legacy.zip

I suppose the wording should be changed, IF YOU ARE AN IDIOT.  Go back to the BBS.

And since people are, by and large fucking idiots, yes.

[snowbawl]

We do not cater to idiots here, so you can "by and large" suck a fat one.  The wording is perfectly clear and concise.

I think that defacto having a site reachable on the intarweb pretty much is catering to idiots.  In other news, I'll reserve the privilege of disagreeing with you that the wording is either perfect or clear.

Hello to you too.

Sure, any idiot can wander in off the webz, take you for example.  That does not mean one must design his or her site to pander to the lowest common denominator.

It's a lesser of two evils thing.  We can make the instructions clearer, or keep watching the same answers get put in the same topics over and over as each new person is confused by it.  Personally, I prefer to just cure the problem rather than bitch about it. 

Loving the mod, btw.  the stock story driver is so bad.  I'm impressed with the effort put into this. Thanks to all.

[snowbawl]

There is nothing by which to be confused.  Choose the mod version that correlates to your game version.  Do you need help when wanking as well?  Take the issue up with the FOJ.  Let him decide if he wishes to hold your hand.

Great, it still isn't working.

I tried downloading the Framework, putting it in the TS3 directory, overwriting the files when it promted, and it's completely busted everything.

Now my game won't read any custom content at all whatsoever.

Fuck my luck.

[Silent Dreamer]

Overwriting? What?

[Twilight Oracle]

nevermind, I fixed it by redownloading and installing the Resource.cfg

awesome still does not work though 

[sgallaty]

Follow the instructions carefully.  That's what I had to do.  The first time I installed it, I didn't read anything and didn't pay attention and got my game into a crashing state.  It does work, that's established.

Also, if you don't have any mods, I don't think the framework should be overwriting anything?   The framework should be (?) all new files.

Based on my fuckups, I'd say to double check:

1) Put the framework in both TS3 and the WA folders (if you have WA)
2) get the right version of AM
3) try am first in the ts3 mods dir, then if that shits the bed, try the wa mods dir.

I'm new here, so if any of this is incorrect it's that other guy's fault.

[snowbawl]

Worked for me:

Keep everything in ye old place, copypasta the .dll to WA/game/bin.

[gotthilf]

I am using AM as the only Mod on a Win7 system. Current game is WA 2.5.12.
For some reason the game crashes constantly exactly during the AM autosave. Any suggestions rather than turing this functionality off?

[J. M. Pescado]

I have no idea why the game crashes during saving, but crashes during saves can only be EAxian in origin. And means something is horribly wrong with your game or install.

[gotthilf]

Thx. Problem found, was a package file (clothing) from sexysims2 that causes this error.

btw: it is still strange than you can play without issue and that the crash occurs (reproducable on my system) when AM autosave starts. Normal save iwas always possible.
