    Night-lighting works on the Windows  version if the update-patch for BAT buildings is installed. For the Mac, this update is missing. 

    To make an experiment:

    Someone should install the unpatched Windows version and copy the unpatched EXE to another place. Then, (s)he should patch the installed game. After patching the patched and the unpatched EXE should be compared with an usable tool that lists the modified bytes.

    When we have informations about the differences we should examine the Mac binaries if some parts of the unpatched version are bytewise the same. If so, we should modify them to the updated version manually. 

    The probability for success will not be more than 5% but it is worth a try.
