They bundle all the files we want to share into one file, making them less vulnerable to being corrupted and compress them to save space. The way we do that is to create file archives. But to help you do it all by yourself, we’ve gathered our best ideas and solutions below.įeatures described in this article refer to the MacPaw site version of CleanMyMac X.įor as long as people have been sharing files on computers, we’ve needed ways to compress them and fit more on floppy disks, USB sticks or whatever storage medium we’re using. You simply drag the files to the App and the special characters are removed.So here’s a tip for you: Download CleanMyMac to quickly solve some of the issues mentioned in this article. Rather than manually change every filename I created an Automator App which will get rid of the characters for you.
For a further explanation see my page here. It’s always a good idea to get rid of the special characters (*%-_ etc.) from CC filenames as it will help to speed up your game a little.For a step by step guide on how to install CC/Mods have a look at ItsaprilXD’s brilliant guide here.Package files from the extracted folder into your Mods folder. Now just double click on the 7z or RAR file (like you would a normal Zip file) and The Unarchiver will extract the contents into a new folder in your Downloads folder.The downloaded file will now look like one of these in your Downloads folder: Download The Unarchiver from the App Store.I don’t normally like any software that overrides Apple’s Apps but I’ve been using this ever since my CC obsession started and had no problem with it. It’s really simple to use as it sets itself up as the default unarchiver on your Mac so once installed you don’t have to do anything.
The best tool I have found to extract 7z and rar files is The Unarchiver and you can download it straight from the Mac App Store here. I was late to the CC party and experienced this as the built in Archive Utility in macOS can’t handle 7z files. Lots of Simmers, Mac and Windows users, still have issues installing CC and Mods into their game because of the compression methods some creators use.
