I just purchased TS2 for Mac. No one was sure whether it would run. But I have close to the system requirements. I drag the folder onto the harddrive and it copy's it fine. But it doesn't even load when I double click it. I can't even get the game to run. |

Since installing Nightlife, some houses won't load. They'll almost load, then the game will crash. I've disabled all my hacked objects, since they may not work with Nightlife. Could this be the cause? If not, how can I fix it? |
