Functional Seaports, Steam version on Mac

So as the title suggests.

I'm playing SC4 on my Mac through steam. Most of the mods I've installed work lovely, NAM, SPAM, Radius mods, etc. But from what I can tell, the Functional Sea Ports are only windows compatable. Am I right in thinking this, or is there a Mac compatable version?

Functional seaports don't work and actually have the potential to cause more harm than good. This is a fairly recent discovery, but you will benefit more by exporting freight by Rail/Road than by a Seaport, which conversely as a result of a game bug, will negatively affect demand. In other words, you are better off using Eye Candy seaports.

That said, there isn't really such a thing as a Mac or a Windows Mod (DLL's being the exception), so there is no reason you can't use them with the Mac version. However most mods are created using Windows, as a result there can be installers or other files that don't work natively on a Mac. However there are solutions to all these problems, the simplest being run the installer on a Windows machine and use a USB Stick etc to copy the resulting install to your Mac.

Head over to my Lot and Mod Shack to keep abreast of my latest developments.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

New to the NAM? Check out my tutorials on YouTube. Latest upload: How to: RHW - MHO Roundabout Interchanges. (Nov 25).

p.s. - I'm MGB over on SC4D and a member of the NAM team.

You could try @Tamorr's CDK3 SP Freight Station. It looks like a seaport but is actually a freight station.
