Hi,

the easiest way to find the folder containig the "mods" folder for the Mac App Store version of LS13 is is by doing the following:
- on the Mac OS X desktop (Finder) select "Go to Folder..." from the "Go" menu (or press the keys "shift" (the one with the up arrow), "cmd" (next to the space bar) and "G" together)
- in the box that appears (titled "Go to the folder:" in the English Version of Mac OS X) enter the following exactly as shown:

Code: Select all

~/Library/Containers/com.focus-home.farmingsim2013/Data/Library/Application\ Support/FarmingSimulator2013
- this will open a new Window showing the contents of the "FarmingSimulator2013" folder that also contains the "mods" folder in which you have to copy the mods so that they are recognized by the game

To make sure you find the folder again later, I would suggest to put an alias to the "FarmingSimulator2013" in the sidebar of the Finer windows.

Hi,

what happens if you try to go to

Code: Select all

~/Library/
Do you see a folder "Containers" there?

You did start the game at least one time, did you? Because then your mods folder is created (together with the whole FarmingSimulator2013 folder).

The "FarmingSimulator2013" folder is not located directly in the (hidden) "Library" folder in you user home folder, but in another sub-folder.

As I have asked before: Do you see a "Containers" folder in the "Library" folder that is opened when you do the "Go to Folder ..." thing?

If yes, please open that folder and then you should see a "com.focus-home.farmingsim2013" folder. If you open that "com.focus-home.farmingsim2013" folder you should see a "Data" folder and inside that another "Library" folder, and inside that the "Application Support" folder containing the "FarmingSimulator2013" folder.
