FileJuicer won't work on the LotEditor .exe (see the FAQs above), nor will LotEditor work on a Mac. And aren't .sit file just StuffIt packages, which can be opened with StuffIt, or most other Zip files extractors.

Kelton is correct, and if you can afford it, please pay the shareware fee for FileJuicer, the creator (not me) spent quite a bit of time on it and deserves a few bucks. Thanks

For some reason, over the last month or two, the BSC Mac Archive has been getting slammed with usage. I'm currently at 90% of my allotted usage, and when I hit 100%, .Mac shuts it down automatically for a period of time. Not sure why this is happening of late, it's never happened before. For the time being, the page will be password protected, and I'm not sure how I'll proceed in the future. I don't want to take it down, but I also don't want to pay extra to maintain it. If you need the password, PM me, though I will say I will be giving priority to Mac users. In theory, I don't have a problem with PC users downloading from there, but since there are so many more PC users out there, it kind of defeats the purpose of the Archive if Mac users are end up losing access to it because of too much usage. And just to be clear, I'm not "blaming" PC users, or anyone else, I have no idea why the traffic has spiked, could just be a few people "catching up" on downloading a ton of stuff, I'm just trying to keep .Mac from shutting it down and forcing me to pay more. EDIT: Actually, the Archive will be down for a while, I'm going to be making some changes, don't know when exactly it will be back up, hopefully not too long.

No, I wrote that wrong. DONT put them in the Plugins, they go in Regions. My Documents = Documents Programs = Applications was all I was trying to say, whether it's Regions, Plugins, etc.

Yes, the EA version and the Aspyr port read game files the same, performance is a whole different matter. I'm guessing you transferred them to the wrong Plugins folder, PC to Mac translation are: MyDocs/.../Plugins (pc) = Documents/.../Plugins (mac) This is the one to transfer for Regions Programs/.../Plugins (pc) = Applications/.../Plugins (mac) Did you get Windows installed? or are you playing on the Mac side? Don't give up on the Bootcamp/Windows installation, once you get it up and running, the game is much better on the Windows side.

No, I went to a friends and burned it on her PC, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do it on your Mac. jeffypop, if you can hear it, that may the problem, it shouldn't be that loud. Those were my only two glitches, other than the overall problem of Windows sucking ;-)

Originally posted by: jeffypop Hmm... yeah, everything seemed okay at first. I got it partitioned and everything... but then when it rebooted it gave me a blank screen and didn't start the XP installation. I left it for 30 min (cuz a lot of people on other boards said they encountered the same issue DURING the actual setup process, but it eventually corrected itself)... alas, for me, nothing happened. So I rebooted and now every time I try to boot into XP, it gives me the blank screen. I'll try a fresh install once more, but has anyone else experienced this problem? Like I said, most people get it during the driver installation or somewhere else in the XP setup... but for me it happens right at reboot. Maybe I should just buy the mac version of the game... but I have a billion plugins already. Can I just copy the already-extracted ones to the mac, or are there compatibility issues? And does it work on intel macs, because supposedly it won't without a plugin that's offered on the aspyr site... and that said, I can't find it anywhere. Clearly, I'm too confused to know which direction to go in. I don't know what decision to make. I've read bad reviews of the mac-version. But I have been playing Sim City since the old skool days and I get antsy when I have to spend so much time without it. quote> I'm not sure about your specific problem. I had 2 problems with Windows, first the Windows disc was too fat and wouldn't finish the installation, corrected that by copying the Windows disc to a blank and it installed fine. Second, I use to have problems with peripherals, in that Windows wouldn't recognize my external HD (used for back up only, not start up or anything else). Maybe try disconnecting any external devices on the Mac side before booting on XP? I know it seems minor, but it was enough to stop the booting process on mine, could be something similar? If not, the Apple forums are your best bet, though it sounds like you've been in there. Good luck.

Takes a few clicks to wipe out the Windows partition, without touching the Mac side. It's pretty easy, just read everything before you start, it'll be fine.

Freakin' ridiculous

Originally posted by: corryzahn the only thing I can't figure out, is what key do I use to rotate a building? It's END on the PC, but there IS NO END KEY on my macbook. It's the only thing that doesn't work... otherwise, it actually runs better on my new macbook than it did on the old laptop. quote> Use the "fn" key (lower left hand corner of your keyboard) in combo with the arrow keys (don't remember which one exactly off the top of my head) for those functions.

They aren't in the right type of installer, so FJ won't work on them, and they're not BSC, so you'll have to contact the creator. Sorry.

Been running it for 2-3 months, works fine, BAT, LE, etc. as well, all work good.

SFBT Highway Bridge Construction Set is up (wasn't juicing properly). Just place the whole "SFBT" folder in your Document/.../Plugins folder.
