    Installing TMO extra content on the Mac

    I found the extra content from TMO at http://www.machinimods.com/modder.aspx?artist=Norrie Now, I need to know how to install it, especially the sets. I tried dumping the files in the data folder, and that doesn't work. Nor does making a folder named sets (or set) in the data folder and putting them in there. I test it by creating a new sandbox game with everything unlocked turned on.

    Has anyone been successful?

    Try and put them in the "pak" folder, this folder should be in the The Movies data folder.

    Unfortunately, nothing happens if I do that.  Is there a special unlocking step I have to do or anyone who has done this successfully on a Mac?  Feral has been no help, they just say they think it can't be done.  However, user-generated content can work, so why wouldn't Lionhead's content?

    Well, I'm on Mac and my extra content is in the "pak" folder and it works fine.

    The extra content files all end with .pak or .cpak aren't they?


    On my iMac the folder are like this: The Movies - data - pak (extra content)

    Yeah, they end with .cpak and are in the Movies SE - data - pak folder.  I've made certain that they have the same permissions as the .pak files, which work fine.

    How do you access them in yours?  I try to go to Game - Sandbox - Unlock everything and they won't show.

    In a standard game or in sandbox, mine shows just fine. I can use everything in movies, for relooking my stars...

    You can't use any or is there some that works?

    Just one question. You have Stunts & Effects and you've download the extra content, right?

    Did you put everything in the pak folder?

    Cause some of the extra content was offered in S&E, maybe if you have put everything it cause some content to not show.

    Well, I tried to use just Office 2 and the Haunted Corridor (both of which I know aren't included in SE) and got bupkis.  Both were in the pak folder and I made sure to remove .ini files and user-generated content.  The same result as always - nothing from the paks available that wasn't from the original install.

    There were no extra steps for you, right?  You just put the files in the pak folder and the sets dhow up with all the other sets, the costumes with the other costumes?

    Re: Installing TMO extra content on the Mac

    Ok, the set I tried were in S&E, but when I tried to find "Office 2, Haunted Corridor" they weren't there.

    I don't know it must have something to do with S&E, before I got S&E, I bought (with points on TMO) the Saloon Bedroom and the stagecoach set and it worked fine, but now it's included in S&E.

    Now the only extra stuff that work is the costumes and props for me, I haven't checked them all, but the rifle enfield 3 band, black and white dog, german sheppard, the native american hair, the civil war caps works just fine.

    Or was that all included in the S&E extra stuff?

    Those things come with S&E.  We are in the same boat, I guess.

    Re: Installing TMO extra content on the Mac

    Are you sure all those come with S&E?

    I bought them as well before TMO went out. If they come with S&E, I'll take them out the folder.

    Edit: Damn, you're right.

    The problem definitively comes from S&E, because I got some stuff before getting S&E and they worked fine, but now that I have S&E, only the stuff included in S&E works.
