AwesomeMod Bug Report Thread

[pastacat]

I had found that when I had awesome mod installed alone, and patched up to 1.29 with pets, I can no longer order drinks from the bar at my own lot and others cannot order from me.

I wasn't aware this was even possible, and nothing has been changed there, so it may have been EAxian.

AM makes the two professional bars break down and cry since 1.29. I've never had an outdated version of AM.

With only AM installed: professional bar works fine until someone is actually tending it with the "manage bar" interaction. Then, no one can order a drink. This also happens when hiring a mixologist to show up to your party. Dude just stands there and breaks glasses, then leaves with your money.

With zero CC: Bar interactions resume function again.

I considered tweaking my AM config in the hopes that one of the options might be at fault, but a) I am not that obsessed and b) nothing in the AM config seems even remotely like it would break the bar, so I'm at a loss.

There still seems to be something wrong with the Moodlet Manager - I had one ending up repeatedly in the inventory of the household dog when said dog was on Supreme Commander.

Try now.

Should be fixed now.

Does AwesomeMod work with the most recent Sims 3 release with Master Suite included?  I'm not able to get the game to load without warnings being given to me and I know the framework is installed properly (verified with the NoIntro package and the NoSparkles package)  This is also a relatively clean install with just a bunch of sims3 store stuff installed (freebies) but no prior mods (save for the ones included in the framework). 

I tried with both the Framework version on the MTS site as well as the version you provide here (installed in the Sims 3 install folder).

During Launch
It looks like you have installed and unofficial game modification that does not match your current version of The Sims 3.  We recommend that you either uninstall these game modifications or get updated versions of them - otherwise you may experience crashes or significant bugs.

Do you want to quit?

MSS doesn't add a patch, works just fine for me. Make sure all of your other games are patched.

[shinji]

They actually have to be.  Steam sends the entire game as a batch install so all purchased expansions and stuff packs are sent over all at once and updated at once.

EDIT: I'm going to take the drastic route.  There should not be any significant difference between the Steam and Origin versions but I do that the latter version available to download/install so I'm going to backup/uninstall the Steam one then download and install the Origin one and see if that makes a difference.

[Jeebus]

NB: No Steam support is offered here.

[shinji]

Is there a particular reason why?  Like I said there really shouldn't be a difference.  The only main difference might be where the game is installed.

[jezzer]

Steam isn't supported because the FOJ doesn't want to fool with it.  I must have missed the part where Pescado is obligated to explain his decisions to people.

[shinji]

Ok.  That's fine.  ^_^

I was just wondering if there was a technical reason (a specific core file was different on Steam vs Retail/Origin or something).  If Steam isn't supported though it should be mentioned in the documentation.  It wasn't mentioned anywhere and the framework itself works fine with the Steam version.

[Jeebus]

Steam isn't supported because it's EVIL.

[shinji]

Yea.  I caught that thread just now finally. >.>  Apparently it comes down to some potential patch version differences and a different file structure that is on the Steam version where they merge it all together rather than have it spread out..  The Origin/Retail versions put each expansion/stuff pack in their own little install folder.

I've noticed a bug that popped up recently with the steel bladder perk changes in the Awesome mod, I only noticed it after installing Pets a while ago.

Sims with a steel bladder only partially fulfill their bladder need when you tell them to go. It'll fill the bar up around 1/4 of the way, then they'll stop. You have to tell a Sim with a steel bladder to use the toilet 3 or 4 times for them to max out the bladder need. Sims without a steel bladder however always max out their bladder motive the first time they use a toilet.

Also this is probably related, but I noticed a sim without a steel bladder fills their bladder need 2300+ an hour when using the toilet (according to the numbers you see when hovering over the motive bar), but a sim with a Steel Bladder only fills their bladder need 560+ a hour. Perhaps this is part of the problem, if a sim only uses the toilet long enough to fulfill the bladder need for a sim without a steel bladder, even though sims with steel bladders take longer to fill their bladder motive bar.

I've been running in to this as well.

Running a newly downloaded Awesomemod(downloaded today) and have tested with an unplayed Sim(a different household).

Obviously, having the motiveperkrebalance option turned off doesn't let you test the bladder discharge rate of steel bladder Sims since their bladder motive never decays, but with it on I can confirm ShadowLiberal's experience regarding the Sim's changed discharge rate versus when they don't. As would be expected, Sims without the perk appear unaffected either way.

Why do they keep pinching it off?! I only do it when I don't have any other choice!

I had a strange problem.  I don't know if it was caused by Awesome mod or a combination of Awesome mod and something else.  That something else most likely would be one of Twallan's mods, since I have them all installed.

My family consists of a second generation sim and her Invisible Friend who was turned into a visible friend using a potion.  They have two cats.  They also have twin daughters.  The daughters aged up from toddlers to children.  However, the next day, the kids were not going off to school.  I clicked on the button to send them to school and got a message there were no schools in town.  I was using a pretty straight Apaloosa Springs.  The only changes to the town were my McDonald's restaurant (a rabbithole), and a house I built for another family.

When I removed Awesomemod, the problem went away, and the kids went to school.  Since it solved the problem, I did not experiment further.

I'm having something similar with normal children in a custom hood, and I'm starting to wonder if it's that rabbit hole itself that AM (or whatever is causing it) has a problem with. It doesn't appear to be registering as a real school. I'm running a two-school system, and I replaced my fully functional 12-only rabbit hole with the Crestview building (Apaloosa's school/stadium). I attempted an enrollall 12 and received the message, "Cannot resolve with 0 schools on lot." (And yes, I attempted this on the school's lot. I'm stupid, but I'm not that stupid.) I can't manually enroll my teens into that school either, their only options are "pull prank" and "painting class" so I can't even enroll them individually.

Removing the offending building and replacing it with a stand-alone school rabbit hole fixes the issue. Except for the part where I want to use the combo rabbit hole. I have No Automatic School enabled by default, but turning it off doesn't seem to make a difference. I also use several Twallan mods, like the above. Twallen's school mod only gives me the option to enroll in the non-offending school.

This issue is reproduce-able in other hoods. Thoughts? Anybody else getting this result?

[J. M. Pescado]

Combo rabbit hole issue noted. Will examine.

I got a Flagrant Error on the sims 3 today.  I don't know if this is relevant, but I was also playing it in the French Language.

Installed Mods:

Awesome Mod

-.-.  The game also froze about 20 minutes before, possibly due to computer sucking.

[J. M. Pescado]

Unless you tell me what the error is, there's nothing I can do about it.

[jezzer]

It probably treated the error like a Hardware Requirements tag and didn't read it.

[frumiousbander]

Serious risk of being labelled a moron, but hoping not so.

Basic problem: Awesome Mod seems to make game crash to desktop

Location of Awesome Mod: in My Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Mods > Packages

Yes, I've read other posts on here - most of the ones with this particular issue seem to be prior the patch I've got. Playing game edition 1.29. Only have base game. Yes, I have other CC - have played with other CC but not awesome mod = no crash. Have played with no CC = no crash. Add awesome mod back = crash.

I get the idea that since recent patches, the whole framework stuff in the Games > Bin folder is no longer necessary. Is that where I've gone wrong? Lately have just been playing with Awesome mod, but appreciate the awesomeness of it and would prefer not to.

Ta.

[Jeebus]

Have you checked for conflicting mods?

[J. M. Pescado]

Can you be more specific about where and when these crashes occur?

[frumiousbander]

Is the only way to check for conflicting mods to remove each CC one at a time and try playing or is there some crafty shortcut? Have stumbled across Hack Conflict Detection Utility for Sims 2 but not for Sims 3. Am I missing something?

Specifically, with awesomemod installed, game crashes to desktop  ("sims 3 has stopped working, windows is searching for a solution") after 20-30 minutes game play, sometimes less.

[jezzer]

Try Delphy's Dashboard.

Hello.

I have that same kind of issue. Awesomemod opens a window tells me there's a non-core issue with another mod which is not answering the way it should (translated from French by memory, sorry if it's not correct). But, thing is, I tested the game with ONLY the Awesomemod and NO OTHER package - as I had just reinstalled my games -  and it says just the same...

If I click "Quit" then it quits after the loading, and if I click "Ignore", it works fine until I try to enter the CAS. When I do, the game crashes.

(I have all extensions up to Master Suite Stuff)

It's a new two Sim day old save and I didn't notice anything odd happening at the time, so maybe just a hiccup somewhere.
