Question for Mac Users

Hi fellow Mac users!

I'm trying to install Questdog's modern name files on my Macbook, but can't figure out how to do so. I was able to do it easily on my PC desktop, but folders on the Mac seem a lot more complicated, at least in my opinion. If anyone could help, that would be great and much appreciated! Thanks!

I'll need some details to help you. What is the issue?

If you're looking for the OOTPv15 "documents" folder, it's in your {user folder}/Library/Application Support/Out of the Park Developments folder. To get to your user's Library folder, select the "Go" menu and press the Option key. The Library folder will appear. Select it.

A huge thank you, SJ Shaw! By simply telling me where the folder was, I was able to properly insert the files. Thanks again!

Happy to help! The file location changed between v13 and v15 and confused me for a bit too.

Yeah, if you get stuck in the future (I forget the Option > Go thing sometimes), the game can also open your saved gamed folder in Finder...

Go to Preferences (either from the main screen on the Game button) > Troubleshooting. There is a button to open the saved games folder (among others).

So I assume the modern name files work OK with v15?

Yeah, they work perfectly, with the exception of in an MLB quickstart. I set up my game as a fictional league, but used all the real MLB and MiLB teams. It's running smooth so far.
