If you want to use the new method, the cfg file will need to be altered and the mods folder moved. YOU CAN NOT GO MIXING THE TWO DIFFERENT FRAMEWORKS. A hybrid system won't work right, choose one or the other. Both methods are clearly explained on this site.
I use both frameworks too. I use the /Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 directory specifically for Awesomemod because it's my core mod; the other framework for objects/combined .package store stuff so I don't have to uninstall them every time I patch or get a new expansion. So... yeah. It works.
I just make an Awesome subfolder in Mods/Packages. Why bother with two frameworks when it's the same effect in the end?
J. M. Pescado:
Well, in my case, it's more like "why do I want to change all of my existing compile scripts when this method has worked since the beginning and the other is a dodgy EA contrivance that may or may not work"?

Good for you, now stay here and help all the noobs who try to create a hybrid, rather than two separate frameworks, and can't get them to work. I never said you can't use two separate and complete frameworks, you just can't go mixing and making a hybrid system, which the OP appears to be trying to do. If the OP tells us which of the two methods they want to use, they can be helped a whole lot easier, and the resource.cfg is different for each method as is the location of it.
The problem is all these noobs keep mixing the two systems and getting framework fail. If you don't trust EAxis, the old method is good, if you trust EAxis or don't care, the new method is simpler and less prone to problems when new EP/SPs get added to the system. I lost track of the number of people who complained that their mods stopped working when a new EP/SP got added, and blamed AM, because they didn't expand the framework to the new EP/SP.

I use a Mac as well and it is NOT that difficult to install the framework anymore. I'm not sure what is so hard to understand. They have made it extremely easy to do so since, I think, Ambitions. Here is the proper (and easiest) way to install mods and framework for Mac:

Now use this info and don't create extra threads around here again. They don't like that kind of thing. And maybe grow a few more braincells. It's not that difficult. EA even gave instructions on how to do it for Christ's sake. >:(
