Maybe EA can bring a patch out that I can actually update my game with. Instead of getting error invalid file found every time I try and update with this new patch.  Maybe you should stop messing with those NoCD cracks that replace the game files or at least remember to back the originals up before you overwrite them. |

ARRing games isn't for the feeble of mind. But maybe if Freckles writes to EA and explains to them how their current patching system makes it SO HARD to pirate their games, they'll ship her files she can use. |

Did I mention anything about having a pirate copy of the game in my post? But please feel free to assume that I do.  (FYI. I bought the games and had the expansion packs bought for me for Christmas and my Birthday.) I was trying to help another forum member,who was asking if anyone knew were they could find a no CD hack. |

If you noobtards would care to SEARCH MOAR you would know that there are ways to get rid of the CD check without those crappy gamecopyworld file replacement cracks. Instead you and your 'friends' will run off and grab those, then not bother to back up the damned original files you overwrite and whine and bitch again the next time a patch comes out and you get invalid file found. Oh and Freckles, do you always refer to your 'friends' in first person? Maybe EA can bring a patch out that I can actually update my game with. Instead of getting error invalid file found every time I try and update with this new patch. |

Just use awesome mod, the only thing I use the laucher for is updating, only because I'm lazy. Steam launches the game for me, also lets me talk to my friends without alt-tabbing. All hail Motoki the Conqueror, owner of the internets.

Dunno if it's because of the latest patch or if it was always this way, but the fire engine goes slower than the Sloppy Jalopy when responding to fires.

It always runs slow before you upgrade it.

Warning Goddess. Persons have said that CAW still fails to function properly.
Yes, I'm glad I thought to read the forum before doing anything… Well the Champagne is already open; might as well get drunk! The patch = "It's a trap!" Same here. I just knew I should check here first before allowing EA to totally bork my game. I'll wait for that update until I see here that its safe to install it. |

If you have CAW you will have to uninstall it. EA has released a new CAW, or fixed CAW depending on how you look at it. Install the new version and it will work fine. When you first turn it on you will notice huge rendering differences, and when you first go to edit in game everything will appear black for a while. Don't let these things worry you though, it works fine. As for how the patch and AM are doing together… They seem to be playing nicely together, a few hiccups but nothing major or upsetting. I'd say it is now safe to patch. |

Thank you for the info Goddess. Since the all clear has been sounded I'll go ahead on with the patch. I've also just d/l'ed a crap-ton of new CC but I'll wait to make sure this is running smoothly before I start the tedious job of installing it all.

I can't upgrade the Firetruck Horsepower, and I am not getting any firehouse coworkers. It's a lonely, slow work day.  |

On my firetruck, I get the option to upgrade to Horsepower 4 only on Sims who don't have enough Mechanical skill to select it- ones that do have the skill don't get the option show at all. So my truck's eternal horsepower 3'd. Bugger.

You should have brought a book to work. It says "Handiness skill is require to blahblahblah". My sim has 3, and I remember a sim with only one doing it before. Maybe they just upped the requirement. Still no coworkers, though. |

I imagine higher levels require higher skills to upgrade, so you must increase your mechanical skills more.

I noticed that every time I run the game, the Career Bundle does not appear in the installed content... I installed it again and works, but when i close and run again the game launcher it appears again as a new download and does not show up in the installed content... I already have decrapyfied.... why does that happens?

I have been noticing the launcher seems to have Alzheimer's lately with regard to whether it has installed certain files. If you try to install them, it says they are already installed (well duh) but it seems to forget it installed them every time you restart the launcher. As long as the content is showing up in the game it's not really a problem and I just ignore it. re: Upgrading the fire truck It says "Handiness skill is require to blahblahblah". My sim has 3, and I remember a sim with only one doing it before. Maybe they just upped the requirement.
You also have Alzheimer's. It requires 5 handiness to upgrade the fire truck and always has. See here: http://www.simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Sims_3_Professions#Fire_truckMy personal experience confirms this as well You can (and should) however maintain the fire truck regularly. This is different than upgrading it though. Still no coworkers, though.
It's Awesomemod. It won't generate coworkers unless you choose to socialize with coworkers, which of course you can't do without coworkers and since it's not a rabbithole you don't have work modes to select that option. It's been mentioned numerous times. Maybe Pescado will fix it at some point. So far he seems not especially concerned about doing so.  |

If it bugs you that badly, start a new game without AM installed and have someone become a firefighter. The game will spawn firefighter friends for you and then you can save, quit, put AM back in and start playing again with the co-workers already in place. Works like a charm.

I did. Well actually I loaded the existing awesomemod save without awesomemod, let it generate coworkers, then saved and reloaded it with awesomemod again. I know you aren't supposed to do that but nothing exploded and I've been running it for a few weeks now since then. |

That was totally informative and certainly not a complete waste of space. No wonder you're such a stellar member of the community. |
