AwesomeMod Updater (v2.8.3 - Updated 2013-10-16)

[basbas]

Oh, if it starts the game, it works.
Those errors you see just mean that it can't find the x64 registry keys, which is obviously because you have an x86 system. So, those errors are harmless.

but those were pirates and I thought might be causing errors

SRSLY

[Selene]

Thanks for the help.

[DMDye]

It worked like a charm for me, thank you!

[basbas]

Updated to v2.5.1 (v2.5.1.125)

The updater didn't work when Ambitions was the latest EP installed on an x64 system. This issue has been fixed in this version.

Hello! First off, thank you for this updater, it makes getting the correct update easier!
Second, I have an error code 12 message that keeps popping up everytime I try to save my game.  It has been working fine for the past several days. I think I installed this Saturday or Sunday this past weekend, and I haven't had any issues till tonight. And then I was able to save several times earlier this evening, but now that I'm ready to shut down for the night, I can't without losing the last hour/hour-n-a-half.    Any suggestions?
Thanks!

This is purely an updater for AM, it is NOT a game mod, and as such has absolutely zero impact on the game performance.  Therefore your Error 12 issue has nothing to do with the updater, but something else.  Possibly a simply EAxian issue that is beyond anyone's control.

Try capitalizing the first word of each sentence and the personal pronoun "I" and see if that helps.

Hey guize

in the event that your stashing your docs folder on another drive (like a hard disk from a solid state or vice versa) Just edit the updater, do a replace, replace all %docs% with the directory of the new document folder (ex F:\Documents\) then do a replace with "F:\\ to F:\" to get rid of errors.

If you dont know what Im talking about, dont ask. Im not a search engine.

I'm getting an Error Code 4. Run as admin doesn't change anything.

Using windows 7 64 bit, placed files at right place, awesome mod in packages.
Using Steam version, have all steam DLC

Not using any CC besides a few worlds (no game started with).

Did you consider that maybe the updater doesn't support the steam version?

Yeah, asking for Steam support here is like asking for support for a pirated game on any other sims forum.

[basbas]

AwesomeMod doesn't officially support Steam, so it wouldn't make sense for the updater to do so.

[trenchmouth]

No, it doesn't make sense.  The updater, 3booter, and fpslimiter aren't cc, they're third-party utilities, and their respective creators don't provide support for the Steam version of the game.  You're on your own if you want to try and make them work.

I keep getting Error message 9, which the readme tells me is

The updater couldn't download versions.html from both mirrors. This is probably because the servers are down.

(I only just installed this)

I've tried several times but all within about half an hour - I know, I know, can't come running with an issue yet. But I'm just asking: does it run on some system of timing out? (Forgive my technical incompetence when it comes to matters like this.) Because I live in a wonderful </sarcasm> country where it costs a fucking fortune to have an open-line-connection and 20GB isn't enough for my grandma, I'm on dial-up speed, so I'm wondering whether that'll effect it? If it will, guess I won't be able to use it for another bloody week or so.

It checks two times if the file is available before moving on (and therefore displaying an error). I don't know about time-out systems as this is controlled by an external program (wget).
And you should move to another country. Data limits AND dial-up is something I wouldn't be able to stand. I don't have a high download speed either (2.5Mbps), but that's the downside of living in a rural area. At least I can download as much as I want.

Updated to v2.6 (v2.6.0.137)
Released v2.6 earlier than intended, because Generations already seems to be available in Brazil (AM doesn't work with it anyway, but still) and it adds lots of other improvements that need a bit of public testing.

- Added Generations support;
- Improved efficiency (smaller file size);
- Other minor improvements.

When i was trying to install the mod it gives me:

The current AwesomeMod version is not compatible with your current
The Sims 3 version. AwesomeMod is only compatible with version 1.19.
Your current game version is 1.21.

Are we going to get an update for 1.21 soon?

[basbas]

Are we going to get an update for 1.21 soon?

No it will never come!

[IvanKostov]

Okay, i've downgrade my game to v.1.19.

Now it works, but how i can install Sims3 Generations, when the setup requires v.1.21 update?

[dragoness]

You can't. Ever.

Listen here fucktard. The game hasn't even been officially released yet. The patches have been recalled. And there isn't a test or official awesomemod yet. If you want to play generations you're going to have to do so without awsomemod for now. Now please shut the fuck up and go away.

[Keldaryth]

I just wanted to say thanks for this. I was having issues with Awesomemod (I think I needed the test version) and this made it easy for me to grab it--and with FPS limiter up to date, I'm hoping my comp won't be killed by insane frame rate issues.

[dimples]

Thank you!  This is sooo much easier.  BTW Tester version (Generations) Awesome Mod works for me.
