Preparing for post-NL expansion packs
J. M. Pescado:
I don't own a Mac, so I don't have any details. However, if you do whatever it is that you do to make your Mac run Windoze things, then you can run SimPE. As the package files are compatible, you would then be able to edit, albeit awkwardly, your files.

Join the QA testers and you can get the pre-release trials and they come without an extractor, you just place them in your Program files.

Ok, so I have installed OFB. Updated all hacks I considered essential. Two BIG problems:
1) I have a dorm of sims that I've been playtesting and it is now time for their end of sophomore year final. When they come back from their final, the game crashes to desktop. It happens in a vanilla game (I have tested this so many times I'm tearing my hair out!). My temporary fix will be to send them to finals individually because the first one comes back fine, the game crashes to desktop on the third student to return from the final. Sound familiar?
[Edited to add: tried sending one each hour, crashed to desktop (vanilla except for college clock). Now I'll try waiting until one is done before sending the next one. This is just completely broken in OFB. Great going Aspyr]
2) PHONE HACK! OFBp2 phone hack does not work. OFBp-1 does not work. Both crash to desktop when the sims call for transportation to a community lot. I will probably have to stop playing entirely if I don't have this hack. This hack is the most awesome of the awesome. I almost hesitated to write anything because I'm not at home (and don't know when I'll be back), can't hook my computer to the internet and can't test other versions (like NL or Pets)*. There is no patch for mac OFB. It is making me think all those shiny-looking OFB business hacks with p2 and p-1 versions are all going to not work. Are there any mac users who can advise me?
*I've often had problems getting hacks to work on my system, but I'm already seriously considering ditching OFB completely at this point.

Sorry about double posting.
Vanilla game (except college clock, but remember, it crashed too when college clock was gone). One student at a time. Crash to desktop every time. I will return my copy to the store, send a sternly worded message to aspyr (like that'll help, I've dealt with them before), and I am going back to NL only. No more expansion packs. I liked my game how it was.
How stupid is that, that it breaks Uni to add OFB?

Not a mac-user, I'm afraid, but the problem has still a ring of the familiar. Have you tried this with any other Uni lots? Have you tried Two Jeffs "Students Move Away From the Portal"? Have you tried using Crammyboy's Portal Monitor?

I woouldn't give up just yet - we nearly all had problems with OFB!
