Hi,
is it possible to add a mechanic to the updater, which installs the mod, if it's not yet been installed? I guess this would render a LOT of these newbie questions on this forum obsolete and provide an extremely easy way to add AM to a sims 3 installation.
Theoretically, I could just make it put AwesomeMod in the Mods\Packages folder, but the problem is that players are able to customise their mods folder by adding new folders and editing Resource.cfg. This would make it nearly impossible to put it in the 'right' folder. However, I could still look into it, as these noobs you're talking about probably won't be customising their mods folder anyway.
Another problem is that players who want to delete AwesomeMod, or put aweconf.package next to it, will probably have no idea where to look.

Half the people who have installed it manually would have no idea where to look.

Updated to v2.8 (v2.8.0.181)
It's been a while since I updated this thing, but I've finally added a new feature, as suggested by Cheetah.
- The updater is now able to install AwesomeMod automatically. You specify the folder where it needs to be installed and the updater will do the rest.
- I decided to drop support for Windows XP. People have had issues with running the updater on this ancient OS, and since I don't have access to an XP computer, it's better to drop support altogether. Keep in mind that the updater will probably continue to work with XP, it's just that no support will be provided. In short: you're on your own.
- I will (try to) offer support for people on Windows 8.
Please report any issues you encounter.
WTFman:
Is there any chance at all that the updater will be usable with Steam's install of The Sims 3
, anytime in the future?
dragoness:
Awesomemod itself is not compatible with the steam installation that I know of, so no, not likely.
