Mods Fail on my Macbook Pro

Post » Wed Sep 07, 2011 12:00 pm

I've enjoyed Midas Magic for sevreal years on my windows laptop, but now I use a Macbook Pro 2011, which is more than powerfull enough to run Oblivion flawless, Midas Magic is failing/crashing.

I play on Snow Leopard, and without any cider etc. Many other mods work exelent, but Midas Magic freezes/crashes to desctop if I try to use the doorbell or use the Aurum Reactor to create spells. I can still talk to Midas, visit his shop etc but as soon as i activate the Aurum Reactor or the doorbell the game crashes completly, for reasons unknown.

I cant run things like BOSS on mac sadly, but I've also tried to remove the other mods in order to make it work. I'm using mods in BF2, COD4, GTA IV/San Andreas etc so I feel like I should be able to figure it out, but for the life of me, I cant. And Midas Magic is the best mod out there :(

Please help me, because I really have no idea on how to fix this.

Edit: How to make .bsa files work on mac?

Oy. You are using a very unconventional setup and you need to be a lot clearer about how you're doing it. What is cider? How exactly are you running a Windows-only game on your Mac?

I, too, play on a MacBook Pro, but I dual-boot Windows and play Oblivion on a true Windows operating system. If your setup is even weirder, you need to give a lot of details. It may be possible that your setup is so weird things simply cannot be made to work. DIVULGE, my friend, divulge.

I run Oblivion on the mac os basicly through a cider port, and everything works perfectly besides Midas Magic. Oblivion, Shivering Isles, all DLCs work just fine along with the mods I use exept Midas Magic. I need to figure out how i can make .bsa files work in mac os!

Why put yourself through all the trouble, use the OS that the game was designed for.
