Ambitions is now out and all the glorious mods are under suspicion of sabotage against the citizens of Sim Nation. Which one's work and who are the culprits?

Please report the status of any mods. If they are working or if they cause the game to crash or unknown glitches. Also, if a creator updates their mod, please post it. I'll try to keep this updated... lets hope it doesn't get overwhelming.

UNKNOWN Mods: May or may not work with Ambitions. Please test and let us know.

Note: I figure most clothing, skins, and hairs will generally work without updates. I don't have Ambitions until the third so it'd be nice if someone could just confirm these things work.
- Also note the new mod folder the patch and Ambition's provides.

Create a file "Resource.cfg" with the following content in the newly created "Mods" folder (this is different!): Priority 500 PackedFile Packages/*.package PackedFile Packages/*/*.package PackedFile Packages/*/*/*.package PackedFile Packages/*/*/*/*.package PackedFile Packages/*/*/*/*/*.package PackedFile Packages/*/*/*/*/*/*.package Create a folder "Packages" Put all the mods in .package format in there as usual. You may use subfolders.

- MTS Announcement on New Custom Content
- DBC files should still be readable.
- Custom content now has a custom folder icon next to it ingame!

All of my hairs work and I have Ambitions =)

Awesome Mod - you'd be insane to even try to run it
NRAA - Newp

But I bet Pescado and Twallan have their stuff updated by week's end so we won't have to suffer for long.

No Mosaic - Can't see ghost
Slow Motive Decay - Game hangs on choosing a house

The rest I didn't even both to test. My favorites are borked. *waits patiently*

Thats a lot of mods there! Thanks for the post twoftmama. Very helpful!

You sure? SLAM seems to work for me.

edit: not running an 'extreme length' though, that might be the issue. But the Deca 270 days epic works fine.

The Aging Manager file (the one that SLAM edits) has a part at the end of it for the Simbot aging. In the file, the Simbot is called Frankenstein. That is the only thing that was added to that file, so SLAM and the Extreme Age Lengths mod will work, but using the older version of that file could have an affect on aging for Simbots.

Mods that deal with fishing, food, gardening, and whether something is autonomous or not, should all work fine. Ambitions did not add any new recipes, fish or plants/trees for gardening purposes.

Hidden Traits Unlocked mod causes sims not able to check paper for discount classes or exercise. also that mod that unlocks all the gem cuts no longer works either.

Traits were added to the game, as well as skills and jobs, so any mods dealing with those will not work or will be missing things that you need in order to play Ambitions.

the no-intro still works and all my skins and clothing still work. delphy breast sliders still works.

does anyone know if hair , clothing, skins and makeup work with ambitions?

yes they do. and all mods i have installed work:

longer shadows, Less_Blue_Nights DARKER, All_S3_Base_Green_Thumbnails, BrighterBluerAquaWater, BookstoreOpen8amTo8PM, QueueFits15Interactions and NormalDinerHours6-12.

Game works fine but when I loaded it with mods, my sims were popping around all over the place.

Like they'd be in one place, their image goes into another and then comes back.




Sadly...I have so many mods installed I don't know what could be causing it

And magically.....everything's fine now. o_O


It's mostly clothes mods. CAS body slider is probably my biggest mod.

CyberopscomputermodV2, maxnewspapermod,cyberopsrealitywritingmodV2,Glasses sliders, Jonha Sliders,Tinkershacktimealaways,UI CASBasics Mod 5x10Right Adjust. all work

I can confirm that non-default skins work. However, moving your mods to the new location will cause your existing sims using non-default skins to 'go charcoal'. You can go back into CAS to re-apply the custom skin.

--Going back into CAS full mode at this stage is not possible, due to the unavailability of Awesome and SuperComputer--

That said, the jury is still out on the UI mod, so until I check that, just use your wheel-mouse to scroll through custom skins.

Jonha's sliders work. Make sure you remove the SliderHack file that extends the number of sliders, though- that part is patch-specific and it doesn't work with Ambitions.

Merged package files work as well.

Everything else I've tried works for me after moving it to the new Mod folder- everything of course except script and core mods, which I haven't even bothered to try.

The only trouble I've had is downloading the career bundle from EA after registering my game- it doesn't seem to work.

I can also confirm that CC cosmetics work with the new opacity slider- mostly. The colors need tweaking to get them to look the way they did before.

Super Computer has been updated to work with Ambitions.

Twallan says he's updated it, but I find certain functions stop working when I have it installed.

Twallan's Story Progression Phase V is up and available for testing.

http://ts3.tscexchange.com/index.php?topic=3825.0

About custom skins, what do you mean by Character's must be "reset"?
Thank you in advance for your answer.=>

Has anyone tried Aikea-Guinea's camera mod? Is that considered a script mod? I haven't updated my game as of yet, so of course it's going to work for me right now. But those with the new patch/Ambitions any problems?

ETA: I believe the .package is "nodrift_lowlevel".

I can confirm Anach's Mod WashHands works.

Thx for this thread! Do CAS replacements work?

From another thread....

"Working Mods: CyberopscomputermodV2, maxnewspapermod,cyberopsrealitywritingmodV2,Glasses sliders, Jonha Sliders,Tinkershacktimealaways,UI CASBasics Mod 5x10Right Adjust."

So far, no problems ^.^
