Your welcome
Sorry, I HAVE to point it out: YOU'RE, not "your". It makes my teeth grind.

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?)
That's because Mac it's not supposed to work that way (I hope this might make you feel better ;)); it's a trick we have to use because of the half-hassed way EA did the porting on Mac OS X.
Granted, it's an easy and quick way, and it works - I'm not really complaining about that - but it's not exactly the best or more professional way to do this kind of stuff.
The trick of "show package content" is meant to allow you to examine and alter an application; it's stuff for programmers, advanced tech users and the like, not for the regular use of the Mac.

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"
Hi... for several wordy boring reasons I won't trouble you with I have used awesomemod and love it but never on a mac, and now I've got TS3 on my bf's macbook. Anyway, my question is, is there any chance that installing awesomemod on this macbook could screw up the macbook outside of the game itself? I'm not very computer savvy and what I do know pertains to pcs, not macs. I don't mind messing up my own computer so much but it would REALLY suck to screw up my bf's.
I don't use supreme commander or any of the functions that Pescado warns are experimental.
I played for a while on the macbook yesterday, and it's so nice because it is such a better system (my pc's graphics card is not really up to par), but I MISS awesomemod.

Don't worry Mac's are built to be a bit different then a Windows computer, if anything fucks up you simply delete the Sims folder out of your applications and documents. At that point there is almost no trace of the program left, however you don't need to worry because as far as I've seen there are no real issues with it at all. If you want to post the system specs of his machine I can tell you more accurately if its up to par to run the game or not, the only thing you should really be worried about is if the graphics card won't be able to handle it but even then if it can't you just restart the computer and delete the game.

Thanks for your quick response!
The specs:
13.3" MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB Hard Drive, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, SuperDrive - Aluminum unibody (MB466LL/A)
I copied that off a site so I don't know if that last parenthetical is useful, but I figured I better include it in case.

No. Awesomemod only affects the Sims 3 game. TS3 may manage to fuck up the computer, or Awesomemod might manage to fuck up TS3, but Awesomemod will not fuck up the computer.
