Work in Progress, please do not add new replies for the time being!

As per the info from this post, problems have been noticed with Custom Content using incorrect values. This only affects Mac Users and it's unlikely that users would notice a problem when running the 32-bit Mac version from either the App Store or Steam (basically identical).

Recently, due to the removal of 32-bit support from Mac OS beginning with Catalina, all Mac users are being updated to the new 64-bit Mac version of SC4. If you have installed affected content in your Plugins folder, you may experience problems either loading the game or cities or otherwise be subject to a CTD when selecting such content to use.

Therefore, I thought it would help to have a single place where people can find patched files and report issues to get them patched. Given all the modding tools are Windows apps, but only Mac users see the problems, it's necessary to work together to do what we can to rectify the issue.

I'll be setting up another forum for Reporting issues, with a complete explanation of both the problem and how to identify affected content. This thread is reserved for posting fixes and so I intend to manage that process, so that it remains free of clutter and as easy to browse as possible.

Lastly, I've added the tag Mac Compatible to my own uploads, where I've been able to test them as functioning on the Mac version. All such content will be filtered when clicking on this link.

Where updates can be made directly on the STEX (most ideal), I'd like to ask people to use this tag, it will make finding working Mac files much easier. Otherwise where necessary, we'll just add replacements for the affected files in this thread.

    NAM 36 (or earlier)

    The following Stations from NAM36 or earlier are affected:

    (NAM 36) found under z___NAM/Mass Transit Lots/High Speed Rail Stations

    \Modern Arched GHSR Station

    GHSR Station.SC4Lot

    \Modern Arched HSR Station

    HSR Station.SC4Lot

    SOLUTION:

    Upgrade to the latest version of NAM:

    This includes updated versions of these files. Note that the new installer from NAM37 onwards, is cross-platform and runs via Java. So unlike the Windows .exe installers that preceded them, which were not supported natively on Macs, installation is much more user friendly too.

    Gobias' Sudden Valley Terrain Mod

    When installing the SV mod, you have two files/configurations to choose between:

    SV Properties Low Alt.dat

    SV Properties High Alt.dat

    Both of these files (after installing), contain the problematic exemplar, 0x6534284a,0xa9189cf0,0x00000001, which contains the Property "Sun direction" that contains the problem value.

    Gobias' Berner Oberland Terrain Mod

    When installing the BO mod, you have two files/configurations to choose between:

    BO Shadows Standard.dat

    BO Shadows Long.dat

    Both of these files (after installing), contain the problematic exemplar, 0x6534284a,0xa9189cf0,0x00000001, which contains the Property "Sun direction" that contains the problem value.

    Click the filenames above to download fixed files as needed, replace the original files with the identically named file from here and everything should work properly.

    MGB's Mods

    I've found that issues appear in two of my own released mods, both of these have been updated/tested to work with the new Mac version:

    Additionally, I also checked all my other mods, but no others appear to be affected. Update: further testing with the Mac version has not revealled any issues with my non-texture mods, so I'm pretty certain they are all safe to use.

    Kosferd's Cross Monorail Station

    Fixed Rep 1 values for TSEC/Capacity so it works on a Mac.

    I've also removed some superfluous (and potentially problematic) .sav files, along with a redundant .SC4Desc file, which is duplicated in the .SC4Lot file. You should remove the old version completely before installing the new one.

    This file has now been directly updated on the STEX.
