Both links are for the same file. Install the awesome.package file (and the config if you use it) into your mods/packages folder.
Thank you.

Are you running other mods, and have you tried removing them and running AM on it's own, even with a fresh game rather than an old save.
Yeah, I recently thought of that, the only mods I have are things like Delphy's sliders, Johan sliders, but I didn't think that AM would conflict with regular downloads like hair, skin, clothes, accessories, patterns, etc, does it? Cause I have quite a bit of those.
Try removing them anyway. Some hairs have been know to cause problems at different times, and while it seems a direct conflict with AM is unlikely, anything is possible. I use some of the sliders, and no problems, but the best way to troubleshoot is to try everything, no matter how small or inconsequential it may seem.
Drop ALL mods/CC except for AM, clear the caches, then start a fresh new game and see what happens. If the game runs properly, try adding the mods/CC slowly and keep checking until you can identify where the problem is. A fresh new game helps eliminate a dying game as the problem.
I started a clean version of the game, no CC- just AM, and the same thing happened, but I figured out what was wrong. When I downloaded AM I also downloaded the framework zip found here http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15184.0.html, I put the d3dx9_31.dll file into TS3\Game\Bin folder, the resource.cfg file AND the DDFMap.txt notepad into TS3\Mods\Packages folder. When I deleted the DDFMap.txt file and threw it into the garbage, I went back and re-loaded the game and it worked perfectly... with AM installed.
I am now going to update my game to WA, and re-add my CC (step by step of course) and see if it still works.
Comments?
UPDATE
I am now... AWESOME! Finally!
My game is now completely updated, TS3:WA version 2.6.11. AM is in my game and there is no black or red screen. I'm quite positive that the problem was that DDFMap.txt. included in the framework zip on-site, now that I have not used it, everything seems to run smoothly.
Thank you to all that responded,

My awesome mod expired, so I downloaded the update from this thread (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15185.0.html) and replaced the old awesome mod with the new one.
But when I load the game it still says it has expired. I have already downloaded the 1.11/2.6/3.2 patch from the Sims 3 website. Is the newest awesome mod not compatible with that yet? Please help me, I've spent all day looking for this. I can't play the Sims until I fix this, because once you go awesome mod you can't go back. I'm going to have to lose all my saved games if I want to play it again. Please help me, I've searched everywhere. Thanks (:

This has been covered. I think the last time someone came whining about it they were told to clear their web browser cache and re-download.
FantaaOrange:
I've done that and it still says it's expired.

If it still says that, you've pulled a Ness.
