How to install "awesome" mod on a mac (lots of images, yay!... slow loading...)
Djcz:
Alright, so I had a pain in the butt trying to install this thing because there aren't exactly the most accurate instructions for mac users. If you unzip where the current posts tell you to without removing the files from the folders and such it gets all messed up, so this is my solution. I hope it makes life easier for someone, because it took me about 2 and a half hours to get this mod installed (though admittedly it was my first time using a sims mod, so that had a lot of effect on the matter).
Before you get started you'll need to download these files,
The awesome mod itself: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ts3/base/awesome.zip
and the framework for the mod: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ts3/base/framework.zip
If you want to make life easy on yourself so you can copy me step by step then save them into a folder called "downloads"
Due to the size of this image I'll be linking it, it can be found at this url: http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/752/installingawesome.jpg
Anyways there you have it, enjoy.
(one last thing, I know the awesome files get copied into two locations and they probably don't need to be... but it worked so I'm not messing with it lol).

I'm fairly certain that you have two copies of AwesomeMod in your Mods folder, one in the AwesomeMod folder and one just in the packages folder. You should only need one. I'm not sure if you have the Resource.cfg that allows for subfolders inside of the packages folder or not; you could test and find out by removing the one that isn't in the AwesomeMod folder. I don't know if the one from MATY allows for subfolders or not, because I haven't been using them personally.
Awesome guide!

Lol I forgot my pass so I had to make a new account. Anyways you're right, there is two copies and thats because when I made the guide I wasn't sure which one was the working one but the fact of the matter was it worked so I just left it like that. I'm pretty sure the folder + its contents aren't needed, but I don't see a reason to mess with it if its working. This will get it running for Mac users and from there if they want to mess with it to get rid of that folder they can, but I don't really see a point unless you need the space for other sub-folders or what not in which case if they are doing that they probably know what their doing by that point anyways.

Wow - thank you so much! I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to install the mod. I just recently started using a mac and I'm still learning how the file system is set up....

Your welcome, and trust me I was feeling the same way. I just started using a mac the day before this game came out, it was driving me insane for awhile -_- (I had used it for other stuff for school, but not as something I actually have to live with... I hate how impossible it is to find some of the files and folders, like there is no way to get to them except to right click and say "show packaged contents"... wtf?)
