Subfolders for downloads?
socurious:
Yeah, I made sure it ended in .cfg and not .txt, but the file still looked like a notepad doc. I thought I was doing it wrong. Thanks for clarifying for me.
After I altered the .cfg file, all my neighborhoods are now red. REDRUM anyone? It has to be my alteration, since it was fine beforehand, yes?
Thank you Marhis. You seem to help my halpless self on more than one occasion. My nooby brain-fartedness. It are huge!

Apparently, the red-ness happens when you have the AwesomeMod in the wrong folder. So either you have it in the wrong folder, or your game doesn't know where to look for it. I assume that you changed the correct resource.cfg file? As there are several in different folders. My guess is that it is still displaying the icon as a notepad file because now notepad recognizes it. So long as it ends in .cfg it should be fine.

If you're on a mac, all you have to do is right click the file and choose a label. It looks like this:
I'm not sure you can do that with windows but it seems likely.
So far, all I've got is Awesomemod, minor hacks, default replacements, and patterns in my .packages, so... yeah.
Beyond that, I suppose subfolders would be useful for creator, or at LEAST source website.

Unless it was tightpants, I can't explain the redness. I installed the awesome in the c:/blah/blah/Sims3/mods/package folder. I am having difficulty getting the game to recognize downloads installed using anything but the EAxian manager, so duplicity could be an issue.

Eh, I had to modify the resource.cfg that Jordi gave. I had to take the file "package" out of the directions. The 3viewer installed some folders for custom, along with itself, I opted out of installing it's resource file. Instead of them all being in the Mods\package folder, they are just in Mods. Mods\Modtest, Mods\Patterns, Mods\Packages. So you may want to have a good look at your resource file and where it points compared to to your file arrangement. Then go through your downloads a bit and sort them.
