Long time OOTP, first time MAC user. Please help!

ahartmann · 07-27-2012, 05:40 PM

I have been playing OOTP for years, on the PC. (Not to mention the two iterations of iOOTP.) However, I just recently made the switch to a MacBook & I am completely lost! I downloaded OOTP13 from the App Store, but I have no idea how to install/import the usual mods. (Rosters, Quick Start, Stadiums, Photos, Logos, etc.) I want to get a new season going while my Mets are still interesting, but I am clueless.

If anyone out there is a Mac user & is feeling generous, could you send me some simple instructions to install some mods. (Or a quick start with the logos & correct team names at least?!) I appreciate it!

So the game, "add-in mods" button on start screen has a bunch of things you can pull into the Mac version of the game - pics, NCAA, etc.

You can download CubbyFan's roster update, which is pretty solid. Some contracts are still messed up, but vast majority are fixed. Also, some of the breakthrough players like Trout are under-rated.

The roster download is somewhat painful, as you typically need to unzip it.

I've also thought that the community should create a single repository of teams in which people incrementally update the underlying content. This is how Open Source Software is created. I will see if this is possible.

Finally, if you recently updated to Mountain Lion OS, you will need to change the default security setting from "Apple Apps and signed apps" to "Download all apps" - this change will sound scary, but Apple for some reason doesn't recognize the PC/laptop version OOTP.
