NAM Crashing when creating city

[AAL1152 0]

I just installed NAM for SimCity 4 Mac, I followed every instruction to the letter, and when i create a city and give it a name and click "Create" the game freezes permanently. Any clues of what is going on?

Speaking as a NAM developer, it's very hard to know where to start with a problem like this. None of the main developers have a lot of experience with Macs and I have not previously heard of others experiencing such a catastrophic problem after installing the NAM.

One of the big problems with the Mac version of NAM is constant changes with versions of MacOS. Each new update seems to bring about a wrath of new problems, hence the need for workarounds just to install it. So when you say you followed "every instruction to the letter", I'd have to ask which instructions you used. Because depending on the version of MacOS / NAM / SC4 you are using, the instructions would be quite different.

If you temporarily remove the NAM folders from Plugins, does everything work fine? What happens if you open a previously saved city with NAM installed?

Yes, I removed the NAM folders from plugins and it works fine again, but what you say has a lot of sense, and I am going to research a little bit for a version that matches my MacOS.
