Transferring from PC to Mac

[Finest_Leader 0]

Hey guys, 

 

I picked up a macbook and looking to transfer sim city onto here from a PC. Would I be able to just drag and drop the original plugins folder? I don't want to have to re-download all my mods and plugins but I am worried that they may only configured for windows. Would it mess up the game? Can somebody let me know whats my best course of action? Thanks!

So long as you are playing the Disc or Steam Version, you can simply drop your entire SimCity folder from "My Documents" to ~/Documents.

Provided you have the recent Aspyr version of the game (ok) or a means to play the Windows version (better), all of the supporting files (plugins, regions, albums, etc.) can be copied directly.

 

Be aware that the Aspyr port has some issues regarding plugin folder size, etc.

Also, NAM for Mac has been released, which contains fixes specific to the Aspyr port.

Tarkus, you are a hero! Can you clarify (here or in a separate thread) the CTD fixes? Does this mean I can use the various elements which used to cause a CTD, such as the high monorail?

Actually, the real hero is memo.  He's the one that found the issues and fixed them, and put together the Wineskin wrapper for the installer.  I'm just the messenger.

 

All the various elements that caused CTDs previously will work fine now with this new version.  The issue had been caused by the encoding of the exemplar files which referenced the High Monorail content and some of the bridges.
