You could have found your answer in the main download thread. To save you some time, there's two ways to do it now.

Marking and Unmarking sims and households for Sacred status and Tracking can now be accomplished in CRTL-Rightclick. No more having to go all the way to Edit Town. Note that your previous configuration file settings for the Tag String are now deprecated and nonfunctional, and you will have to remark your sims again. You can do this faster from the console, by typing "bless <household>". Typing just "bless" with no arguments toggles it on the current fambly.
CRTL-Rtclick did not work for me (or CTRL-leftclick, or alt-rt/left click, and any number of other combinations I tried), but I forgot about entering "bless <household> in the console. Thanks, I'll try that.

I wanted the speed fixes, so I went through the whole pain of unistalling everything and re-installing from scratch.
All went perfectly until I re-installed AwesomeMod.
Now the game goes through the intro and then gets to the loading screen and boom, crashes.
Take out AwesomeMod from the packages file, the game works perfectly again.
Obvious idiot wondering what I am doing wrong. And yes, I RTFM. Obviously I used AwesomeMod before, so I know how to install it properly.
I'm having the same problem. When the loading screen comes up the cursor just twirls around and around, over and over, never getting to the Main Menu where you can choose a saved game. As soon as I remove Awesome.package from my mods folder, everything works fine.
I tried uninstalling and reverting back to 1.0.632.00002, but the problem affects that version now too.
Edit: Nevermind, I ended up getting it to work.
Now that I've managed to fix my problems, it seems that another one has bubbled to the surface. Awesomemod causes my game not to load at all -- I mean, it starts up and everything, but when I get to the loading screen it doesn't load. At all. I don't see any green showing progress in the loading bar, just my cursor spinning around around, much how like the quoted poster was describing his problem. The game doesn't crash, either; it just sits there until I have to manually shut it down via task manager. I've searched around the Awesomemod! forums but have found nothing pertaining to my issue. Does anybody have an idea what could be going wrong?
The poster I quoted seemed to have fixed his problem, but didn't post the solution, so I was thinking about PMing him but I don't know often he logs onto MATY, and seeing as he only has six posts, I don't expect a reply any time soon.
That happened to me the first time I installed awesomemod. I also created my own install directories and created my own resource.cfg... I ended up reinstalling my game and using monkey installer to install the mods. I am not certain... But I think I put the mods directory in the wrong place originally and that caused my problem. (but for some reason the other mods I had isntalled worked... I imagine the reason awesomemod didn't was because it actually changes the script files and is a higher level mod making it a bit more touchy.... either that or it is complete voodoo)
What I'd suggest you do is run the monkey installer program which should be found in this thread among other places... Then try. You might have to delete your current mods folder if it is in fact misplaced. It is just too easy to do it wrong to make it worthwhile adding the folders/resource configs manually... especially when there are aps out there that do it for you.

Thanks a lot for your reply, but I JUST figured out what I did wrong. It was terribly idiotic of me to forget something like this, but unfortunately I did. You see, after reinstalling TS3 I forgot to download and apply Delphy's hack framework again along with Awesomemod, which is obviously essential for its use. I thought it was strange that I didn't already have a Mods\Packages folder when I reinstalled TS3, and figured I must have created them manually when I really got them from the framework.zip provided on MATY and linked to in the main Awesomemod thread. Man, I feel like such a dickhead for not remembering/reading the main thread over again -- I thought I had everything that Awesomemod needed to function. Apparently not.
Thanks for being the only one to reply to my inquiries, but I guess being ignored is better than being chastised for being a dummy (although being chastised for being a dummy would have made this problem much less tedious, frustrating, and time consuming).

Well much to my surprise... I had the multiple rotting food plates when visiting Central Park today... and have kept up w/all the updates to the Awesome Mod... and patch from here too... Never had them before playing today... and I've played over 100+ hours so far... very strange! So, will now go and install today's updated AM and hope for the best... :o :-\
Daimon:
<groan> I can't patch to 1.2.7 either. I cannot find that sku file anywhere, so the patch keeps choking out on invalid file and dying. Any tips? Since I do have awesomemod in, I crash every 10 minutes or so, rendering the game pretty unplayable.
