Issue with SC4 Steam on Mac

[brunst 0]

Hi there, 

 

After many years of working off my old rush hour cd-rom I had a re-install and purchased Deluxe on Steam since I couldn't find all the original CDs...

Cut to yesterday trying to place all my many modds, etc into the new plugins folder, every time I open the game it gives me a blank region (instead of Timbuktu) and all the text is missing from the settings menu, regions menu, all text. I tried isolating different modds (yes, it took me many hours!!) and still no luck. 

Hoping someone else using a Mac running Yosemite has seen this problem and maybe has some suggestions. I cringe at the thought of trying to reload all my old files and unzip every single thing... 

Anyone have any suggestions or know of a particular modd that could be causing this... anything??

Please and thank you!

I had this problem and eventually gave up with it and bought Cities:Skylines. I think the issue is to do with the number of files in the plugin folder, but I only experienced it after the latest OS X update, 10.3 I think. This might have changed file limits in application sandboxes, in which case, I's try to remove any unnecessary files. Place all the read-me and unused files in a  folder somewhere else (Documents or Desktop) and see if it works. 

I know it's a real pain, but it might be worth it.
