If someone is playing SC4 over wineskin ... Some issues (CTD, CJK input and LotEditor)

Hi, 

recently I wrapped a Simcity 4 (an old Deluxe Edition CD) on my Mac with wineskin. It was inspired by the Reddit discussion and I managed to work out with lightning plugin buildings and BAT. I have been also running LE, iLives and gmax with wineskin. To switch its language I copied a backup of my old locale file (cause I am no longer using windows machine) and modified the registry file with regedit.

Though, even if the game can load the maps with non-english filename, the save file will get destroyed once it's being saved and a blank map will replace it. Getting a bit confusing ...

I have been working with a bundle of plugins (Plugins folder of 1.6GB including NAM's newest release ver 34), and I haven't encountered big issues...

Another small issue could be that sometimes the game will CTD frequently (though I tried to eliminate it, such as limit the CPU core to 1), in some maps. Normally these maps may have some extreme terrains, tunnels, etc. But I noticed another case in a smooth terrain, thinking it might be because I used some plugins (maybe SOMY's HD residences?). However the maps with NAM 

I'm thinking if it might be the CPU usage overheat that caused CTD ... but is there a way to make the game support multiple core and larger RAM occupation?

For the LotEditor, in Windows usually Ctrl + Up/Down is used to move an object over Z direction. But the Mac OS X has already reserved these keys to the Mission Control. I don't know how to deal with it...

Sorry for my poor english ... Thank you in advance...
