My mod is downloaded as a ZIP file, instead of RAR, but it should be easy to open on OSX. That zip archive contains .package files, which are the files the game uses directly. An EXE is a Windows program file, and definitely doesn't work inside OSX. - I have not seen any mods that contain exe, so that is a little unusual.
A brief search for info about using mods on Mac gave me this...
Applications -> SimCity -> right mouse "click" -> show package contents -> CONTENTS -> RESOURCES
SimCityData or SimcityUserData folders should be in there.
I know where to put the files. The ZIP file unzips into a "Unix Executable File". This is unusable to a Mac. Certainly you've heard this before. Am I doing something wrong or is it the files? Or is there some workaround? Surely this can't be the first time someone has mentioned this.

The files open into .exe files. But this seems almost random. Some mods open into .rar files (which I know how to open and install) and some unzip into .exe files (which I don't know how to open and install). It seems crazy. I was hoping that you guys have been doing this long enough that this would be a simple answer... Any direction you can offer would be great. Thanks
