May 10, 2014 Since Aspyr made the surprise announcement that they had just re-released their port of SimCity 4 Deluxe for Mac OS X on the App Store and Steam, with Universal Binary support, the NAM Team has been inundated with questions from Mac users about running NAM 32 on the port. This post is designed to clear up the current status of the usability of the NAM on the re-released port, as of May 10, 2014. I plan to update this as new developments arise.

Note as of July 28, 2014: Is it possible to run the NAM on the new Mac port released on the App Store and Steam? Yes, but there are some severe issues at present with doing so, which are described below. Is the NAM Team offering official support to Mac port users? No, not at present. While we are providing some guidance to Mac port users out of courtesy, running the NAM on the port is presently at your own risk. Does the NAM Team have plans to fix the issues and bring back a Mac version? Yes, we are currently working on addressing the issues.

Until the re-release, we had absolutely no idea what was causing the crash-to-desktop (CTD) errors that occurred when certain NAM plugins (some quite critical) were included in the Plugins folder. Our development team has worked almost exclusively in a Windows environment, and until the re-release, even our lone active Mac user on the team used a dual-boot to run the Windows version. With the lack of Mac-compatible modding tools, and thus, the resultant lack of knowledge about the internal workings of the NAM among Mac users running the port, there was no way to feasibly investigate the situation until we were finally able to look at it ourselves, thanks to the re-release. It was because of this inability to address the situation in any meaningful way that we dropped NAM for Mac with the Version 31.0 release. What issues currently exist with using the NAM on the port? Most of the same issues that existed when using the NAM on the original version of the port, after Mac OS X Lion was released, still exist with the re-release, along with a few brand new complications: • A file encoding issue, affecting most of the additional bridges, a number of transit stations, and the High-Elevated Elevated Rail and Monorail plugins, causes the game to CTD.

• The re-release has a limit on the number of individual files/folders that can be installed to the Plugins directory, above which the game will CTD. For some reason, this limit is significantly lower if the computer is not connected to the internet while running the port.

There have been reports that the game begins to become very glitchy when the Plugins folder has as few as 80 files or subfolders, without the connection, and will almost certainly crash at 200. The limit manifests itself as memory corruption, and can occur even with 200 empty subfolders in the Plugins directory. • The port re-release is unpatched, making it essentially equivalent to the original Windows retail disc version of SC4 Deluxe, Version 1.1.610. The first patch for the game, the EP1 Update (Version 1.1.638), is a requirement for the NAM, and contains a number of pre-NAM first-party transportation fixes.

The NAM Team became stricter with this requirement beginning with NAM 31.x releases, after several users attempted to file NAM bug reports, citing issues fixed by the EP1 Update. (Note: some users, upon seeing the presence of the file “EP1.dat” in the installation folder, have assumed that this meant the game was patched. This file, however, was introduced in the retail disc Windows copy of SC4 Deluxe/Rush Hour, and exists in Version 1.1.610, pre-patch. The EP1 Update does not add EP1.dat, or even patch it in any way.) • Aspyr themselves have stated that they cannot guarantee the proper functionality of any plugin–including Maxis-published official updates–with the re-released port. Mod functionality was apparently an afterthought for the re-release, though they are considering revisiting the topic. A note about NetworkAddonMod_Bridges_Plugin_Controller.dat: This file has been cited by many Mac users as the root cause of the CTDs, but the subsequent investigation of the issue after the port re-release determined that this file causes an issue only if the Additional Bridges are also installed.
