Stuff Packs in Houses?

I'd also point out that mac users don't have much of an alternative to the EAxis installer. Clean Installer isn't available in OS X, and jfade's MacUnpac doesn't handle file sizes that are too large. Given that there are next to no SPs and the last 3 EPs are MIA for macs, it pretty much means that all mac users will be unable to use lots made with later EPs/SPs.
And this... this is what we get for buying from Aspyr. The best solution for any Mac user is to partition; install WindowsXP via Bootcamp; and just treat the Windows partition as a dedicated gaming partition. (I work and make money on the Mac -- I use Windows for games.)

<sigh> I know. I even have one of those partitions, and yet I can't bear to take my oldest and most developed 'hoods over to the other side. I think it's because I lack toolz. I'd have to leave behind all my picture-taking, editing, writing, hyperlinked family-tree-sim-bio mac toolz... </sigh>
At least we'll always have pbox houses. :)
Mootilda:
Can't you play TS2 in the window partition and then transfer files over to use your tools on the mac?
seelindarun:
The way I currently play is to take pics, and notes to build my story as I go along. I can see what pics I'll need because the story is laid out simultaneously in another application. Major photo-editing tasks are done later anyway, but I would detest having to enter my notes twice, and being without the storyboard would be a handicap. I've yet to figure out how to transfer that task flow (in whole or part) to windows. Consequently, the windows side has had just the shell of a neighbourhood for a month now, with a few lots and little inspiration. :-\

Ahh, thank you, Mootilda! Seeing as I probably couldn't go without some AL things anyway, I guess all Pre-M&G stuff packs are safe, considering that all houses I make would require AL.

I think you can also suggest that downloaders use the Clean Pack Installer to install the houses. Or there's that Any Game starter deal at MTS2.
Ah, good ol' CPI. AnyGameStarter is made of bloat and hard-drive usurp. Do not want.

There is a thread in the Peasantry, I believe, with many good Windows tools that could help you. SimSheet is a good one for dedicated trackers; I just use a desktop Wiki. You could have the files from the Wiki on a flash drive, too, allowing you to use it on both the Mac and the Windows partitions. Of course, I don't know this for sure, but it seems logical.
