Reccomended mods for mac?

[DaggerBrent 0]

Hi, I just got the app store version of Simcity 4, and I was wondering what mac friendly mods you guys would recommend that I get. I don't have the budget for FileJuicer, so if you could, please refer me to mods that are zips and don't contain exe's.

 

Thanks so much!

Most mods are mac compatible, but a lot of them use .exe installers, so I would really recommend trying out file juicer, if you don't you are really missing out on a lot of good stuff.

File juicer has a free trial that you can download and use as well. There may also be other methods of extracting exe files, I've seen that wine has been able to run some installers, maybe you could

Other than that, try the mac compatible tag on the STEX. All of these files have night lights that work on macs, and I think all of them are zip files.

Thank you for that info, but I tried the free trial of file juicer, and it was only extracting little parts of the mods i was trying to extract, but I will try out wine. Thank you for the info!

Update: I was able to open NAM with an app called the unarchiver. HOWEVER, the app seemed to only open that certain exe. All other exe files I tried to open had errors. Wine bottler wasn't working for me. I also tried something called keka, but to no avail. The free version of filejuicer doesn't even open my exes. Some more suggestions for apps would be awesome, but your awesome just for showing me those mac compatible mods dude.

Thanks

I am able to open NAM using Wine alone, not winebottle. Not sure if this helps, because I don't know what the differences are myself!

Okay. I tried opening nam with wine and it was giving me some goofy file that I wasn't wanting. I probably didn't do it right. Could you tell me how to do it correctly?

Many thanks

Honestly, by far the easiest way to install the NAM is to find a windows computer and use it, then send the files back to your Mac (I used skype.) If you don't have any access to windows at all, you're in for headaches.
