Soooo about Mods...

The following is my PERSONAL OPINION, and is written from my perspective and from my personal experience. I do not ask for anyone's agreement, nor am I trying to change anyone's mind. I don't want to argue about it, and I won't answer any replies about it. Just take it for what it is -- personal opinion. Please.

The method to remove the awesome mod from a save was discussed ages and ages ago. I don't trust that it still works, because the one time I tried, that method seemed to fail. So assume the mod cannot be removed.

You won't get help from Pescado's site. You'll get yelled at for asking, and probably flamed to a crisp. Don't post there. Not even while wearing a flame suit.



And as far as not being able to remove the mod -- why would I ever want to remove it? I use it for a reason.

I just wish Pescado, himself, and his site by extension, was nicer and more user friendly. Sigh.

Amjoie, I have the utmost respect and fondness for you. It certainly was not my intention to start a debate or argument! :(

I am sorry you had a bad experience with Twallan's mods; I think you may be the first person I have ever read who has, where it was not user error. (I am not implying your issue was, you are too methodical with issues to make foolish mistakes!)

I have to admit I had not read the thread when I posted, and afterwards, I just glanced through it (too little free time with school out for summer!). I saw the mention of AwesomeMod and just wanted to add the additional information as I know that many people do not realize that your saves won't work without it in.

I used AM before I ever tried Twallan's mods (my husband's choice; he was tired of having to fix my game when EA kept messing it up!). This is going back a few years now so maybe the mod is completely different now, but it kept causing issues with my game back then so I removed it and found out the hard way, that every save I'd played with it in was unplayable.

I then did my own research and found Twallan's mods and they saved my game and allowed me to continue playign TS3. The NRAAs mods, along with advice from you and Writin_Reg, have allowed me to play the huge, bustling, alive towns I like and control as much or as little of the town as I want. I can't say it runs completely smoothly, I put too many demands on Story Progression for me to be able to play without any lag! But even with all these mods in, my game plays better then it ever did without any mods in.

I think Mods can be personal things. We all have our favorites and what is right for one person may not be right for another. Thankfully, TS3 has had very talented modders enabling anyone to play the game just about any way they want to. :)
