most mods are typically made for PC and not MAC, i have a PC so i really couldn't answer this question fully but there is also two types of day/night mods that might help but not sure if they will work on a MAC

Gizmo's Day-Night Mod

SimFox's Day-Night Mod

Typically there is MaxisNite which is the default nighttime and these two mods and usually a download/building will tell you which version it is

If you had a PC, you would be able to download the BAT Night-Lighting Update. But I don't believe a patch exist for Macs. You will also find that some mods are not compatible with Macs. Sorry!

Yeah, what Indiana Joe said is correct.

While aspyr did combine current PC patches into their build of SimCity, they never addressed the Night lighting issue. Its a bit of a shame, but no nightlighting is the only difference we have between the PC version.

Not all is lost though, there is one method of making nightlighting work on mac, but its a long process, so almost no one follows it, or knows that it exists.

There have been a few buildings made for, or converted to, mac compatible.

All of my files are, you can check them out here. Plus there is also a pack of Links may be broken in that file, so to get the extra files needed you will need to search the STEX for them.

So there are a few you can use, however no where near as many as PCs get.

I may start thinking about creating more mac packs, if this is something people would want, then I could start a thread asking for buildings that people might be looking for.

I have the same problem, but I am on a PC, and I have EP1 and BATupdate for nightlights. Any help?

probably the lot itself doesn't have night lights or maybe the lot is a darknite instead of maxis night
