[QUOTE=boo's daddy]Just for the benefit of other mac users, I did find one mod for mac: Darkest Day can be got from the Adventurer's Spa and Grill here

Fellow Mac user here: None of these links seem to go anywhere (outdated pages) and I would be very interested in trying a mod for the Mac if it exists. Any suggestions? Also, is there any sites you could recommend for advice on installing mods on a Mac? Thanks in advance for any advice, it's much appreciated. I really, really enjoy playing the BG series and any new twists would be a nice extra.

Shame. Apologetic squeaks for posting a dud site.

If you check out the weidu site, there was some suggestion that you can install certain mods using virtual PC. Looks a bit dodgy to me though, and I don't have VPC so pretty academic.

If someone wants to put up correct Mac links in our sticky thread, I'll gladly remove earlier references.

I'm a Mac user too, and the sad truth that I have found is that there is very little Mac content available- and none that I really trust enough to use (besides inserting NPCs maybe). This is unfortunate, but in line with expectations- I mean, we didn't get TOB converted for literally years...

"pound it" - for the Mac users

Yeah, that's the one thing I dislike about owning a Mac. Being a gamer is difficult. It's almost embarrasing to have friends bragging about how great a game is, then (if at all) 2 years later it's ported to the Mac. I've been through both games and the expansions a few times and I would love to be able to add some little extras to the game, but haven't had much success locating anything. I had VPC at one time, but it was so buggy and slow I quit using it.

2 Boo's Daddy: Hey man, I just appreciate you trying to spread the word that there is some stuff out there. Thanks. (if you ever get a lead on a new place to get it, PLEASE post)

Thanks to Fable also, for encouraging me to start a new thread on this in as an attempt to drum up some advice.

Some mini-mods for mac

Check out:

http://www.gibberlings3.net/downloads/index.php

They have some mini-mods and tweaks. Apparently there's a way to also get all of the Weidu stuff to work on Mac as well, but I still have not figured out how.

I recommend installing patches and other tweaks FIRST before adding the G3 stuff. The Kivan mod wasn't installing until I did that. Now only if they had a similar mod for Coran....

THANKS!
An interesting thing I discovered. I can't remember the thread but there was a link to download the bonus merchants that came on the pre-order BG collector's edition (I think), so just for the heck of it, I downloaded it and tried it...and it worked on my Mac! So if you can find that thread those bonus merchant files worked for me, I haven't had any problems yet. Maybe some of the mods out there would work as well w/o trying to find a Mac friendly version.
