Okay, so I have downloaded several of the Mods from the website and would like to install them. I have failed several times now and was wondering if anyone has a basic step-by-step guide for adding mods to mac? I’ve found the folders and tried putting them in the “mods” folder with no luck…
God I hope someone can answer this soon, I’m having the exact same problem. I drop the files in the corresponding folders and when I click “start” it crashes.
The crash fix is coming really soon. as a workaround edit the missions/*.txt so that the names_file contains / instead of \ in the path.
I changed this:
To this:
Still crashing, what did I do wrong?
Can you go into finder and press Apple-Shift-G and type ~/Library/Application Support/democracy3 in the dialog that opens and click “go”.
send me the debug.txt in the debug folder.

so where did you install the Russia folder?
I don’t understand which folder you’re referring to
how did you install the mod? you should have installed it in the bundle resource directory (Democracy3.app/Contents/Resources) such that Democracy3.app/Contents/Resources/data/mods/Russia.txt exists and Democracy3.app/Contents/Resources/Russia/data/names/russiannames.txt exists.
I’m working on a MUCH more pleasant way to install mods on Mac OS X and linux so this will get MUCH simpler.
Yes I have both of those files in their correct places as you listed.
I dont have the path ~/Library/Application Support/democracy3 … I m using Steam to install and play the game … I cant add mods also 
All versions on the mac store configuration in that folder. on linux it is ~/.local/share/democracy3 Mods currently have to be installed in the game directory itself.
In my application support folder there is no democracy3 folder :(. Also I use the resource folder inside the application bundle as you describe to copy the mod files but when I start the game there is no mod loaded in the mod section.
