AwesomeMod Bug Report Thread

[Cyron]

I get a core mismatch error (latest awesomemod version) when I start the game (Pets EP installed). Is this normal behavior because awesomemod is not built for Pets yet (at least the download page says so)?

[Versus]

So I went to go buy a horse at the Equestrian Center.



A couple of the other horses there also has had a couple other Awesomemod traits randomly selected by the game: Chosen & Blind

[J. M. Pescado]

Should be fixed now, those traits should no longer be valid for animals.

FML. Crashes to desktop with AM only, no Pets running 1.26.  Can edit relationships in CAH, but after moving family into a home crashes after 5 seconds of play.

[kjjnesb]

Ditto to the above I'm in the world overview for a few seconds then it crashes.

[IAmTheRad]

I'm in game for a few seconds then it crashes as well.

[Nivaya]

Same here. Game crashes even with just awesomemod after seconds of gameplay. 1.26, but with Pets.

This. Initially it seemed for me that it was crashing at 12 noon each time, but on later attempts, it would happen somewhat earlier. Point is, with AM only, I get as far as loading, choosing my household, and between 3 and 5 hours in-game hours of play before unceremonious CTD, in any given household.

[Maranatah]

Same here. Random crashes after about a minute of playing. All EP's (incl. Pets), HELS and latest patches.

[Death-Jester]

Yes, this seems to be the problem I have too.
No ScriptError files, so no way of knowing for sure, but it just seems to crash after a minute of play. My sim freezes, then a second or two after I get the crash.

[blackninja]

After browsing google it seems that this crashing error is cause by EA rather than AM. I havn't been able to find any outside fixes for it yet though.  Good luck to you Pescado in fixing this problem, hopefully it gets resolved soon because I am itching to play with my new kitty and doggy.

[Moryrie]

I haven't had a crash without AM, but I get them frequently with AM.

[Maranatah]

I second that. No crashes after I removed AM.

[darkbard]

Same, no crashes once AM is removed.

As far as the EA crashing issue, some of it is being caused by people trying to play Pets with shitty and unsupported video cards. Other people with high end video cards have fixed the crashing by enabling the Advanced Rendering option in the game's graphic settings. Updated drivers seem to help some folks. And turning down the graphics on video cards that are borderline has helped others. Also the mac client has been crashing since the Pets patch. Shoddy programming is shoddy, EA.

[blackninja]

I, sadly, am still getting crashes after removing AM.  I will try making sure my drivers are updated, and check my graphics.  Does Pets require a higher end card than the rest of the Sims 3 expansions? That might be a problem for me.

[Skadi]

Updated to AM version 2011-Oct-20 19:15:40
Only hacks/mods installed are AM and Error Trap.
Using FPS and 3 booter to launch.
Previously the game was running with twallan's stuff with no crashes.

Loaded, got into house, hit play.
All the sims had their queues drop and the horse was reset to the mail box. Paused again to re-queue interactions. Hit play, after about 3 seconds got the "Sims 3 has stoppped working" message. CTD.

No error trap notifications this time.

It does require a better card, but if your pets do not look like oddly warped freaky things, reminiscent of adult CC enabled for toddlers, you probably don't need the upgrade.

[Death-Jester]

As soon as I removed AM my crashes stopped, and I'm running 2 GTX 470's in SLI.

[RebelRed]

Wouldn't have posted unless I was sure. Removed AM and crashing stopped.

[Meteora]

AwesomeMod seems to be semi-working for me. The game runs perfectly fine if I just leave the sims to their own, but the moment I use a object in the house (namely the toliet or filling the pet bowl, just 'cause) the game just crashes. Was running in window mode. I took out AM and it suddenly stopped crashing. I do have some other mods from NRaas but Delphy's Dashboard doesn't report any conflicts with AM, unless there's something I don't know about. I have yet to try AM without the NRaas mods to see if it was a mod conflict.

Crash report includes "DasmX86Dll.dll not found" but I already read that its basically got nothing to do with the crash. I am using a GTX 465 and a Intel Q8200 (gimps the hell out of my video card but there's nothing I can do about it at the moment with my finance), so I presume it has nothing to do with computer specs.

I, sadly, am still getting crashes after removing AM.  I will try making sure my drivers are updated, and check my graphics.  Does Pets require a higher end card than the rest of the Sims 3 expansions? That might be a problem for me.

Oh see, I have encountered that problem where my kitty kat turns into Jack Skeleington (Seriously looks like him cause I used the skeleton coat on my kitty). It occurs for only a second or two, but it seems that would indicate that my card is not powerful enough.  Looks like I'll have to get a new one soon.  Can I lower graphics to possibly keep the game running?

Edit: Even after turning down almost all my graphics from high to medium or low, and disableing advanced rendering, the game still crashes after a few seconds of play without AM or any other third party mods.  I don't know what to do, but this is so not good.

[Beldara]

same problem here. Random CTD after a few seconds of playing.  It doesn't appear to be AM since there's no error messages, but it does work fine with no mods running at all 

Everything patched. Latest version of AM. I have an Nvidia GTX 470, with latest drivers, so more than enough to handle the Sims. 

[GrandKaiser]

No crashes, no CTDs.

Game hung up infinitely upon viewing pet lifetime reward screen

(Only using AM)

[J. M. Pescado]

I am unable to reproduce the random crashing at the moment, nor identify its apparent cause. Be sure that you are using the latest version, as versions change frequently at this time. DO NOT ATTACH XCPT LOGS, they are EVEN MORE USERESS THAN WHINE.

AS for the game allegedly crashing when removed, no doubt a coincidence caused by the fact that you can't actually play the game in that state, so stop quickly.

[ladynred]

I also re downloaded just to be sure and it is still crashing. I also removed all my CC and checked again still crashed.

Got the following error:
