1. Skyrim For Mac

So i played Skyrim on my own computer and my friend invited me to play at his house. So i took my saves from my PC and pasted on his PC. We did this a couple times (Me going to his house and playing) but one day i did what i normally did, but when i started Skyrim (On his computer) it didnt show my saves. Skyrim works great on my Mac, but through a wine/wrapper version? I suppose, one you could find on the net, fully updated and all DLCs included. As long as you paid the Skyrim license by buying the PC game with all its DLCs, I don't see why playing Skyrim on a Mac could be illegal.

It is possible to use Nexusmods using this method but it is more complicated. I will post a how to guide as requested. Control channel modeling for mac.

Figure out what is best for your situation.

In theory Bootcamp will offer superior performance as long as your mac is intel based. It also makes nexusmods much easier to manage and use. The downside is the cost of Windows and the partition itself. Wine is free and can use Steamworkshop mods with ease but performance is not as good.

I've played 200+ hours using the wine method. Considering switching to the bootcamp method. UPDATE: I just switched to the Bootcamp method. The difference is incredible. I HATE Windows 8.1 as it is the absolute worst operating system ever created. But damn, Skyrim runs flawlessly. • My Specs (I use the Wine Method UPDATE: i now use the bootcamp method and its awesome.) • Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 • Memory: 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 • Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB • Software OS X 10.9.1 (Mavericks) • Minimum requirements • Graphics Card: 512mb • Processor: Dual Core 2.0GHz or equivalent processor • Memory: 2GB System RAM (I recommend 4-6GB of RAM min) • Hard Disk Space: 6GB free HDD Space • Sound: DirectX compatible sound card • OSX 10.9.1 (Mavericks) It really makes a difference.

• Ideal setup • Processor: Quad-core Intel or AMD CPU • Memory: 8-12 GB System RAM (If its using a Wineport,Bootcamp runs smoother with less) • Video Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible NVIDIA or AMD ATI video card with 1GB of RAM (Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or higher; ATI Radeon 4890 or higher) • OSX 10.9.1 (mavericks) It is highly advised that you upgrade to (Newest OS), it's free to do on the apple website. Really smooths out the game.

I can play with the above specs on Ultra settings with zero mods. When i use mods i use High settings with a few custom tweaks.

I am still trying to figure out how to get SKSE to work, but i feel like i'm close. Update: I am getting help with SKSE and should have a nice tutorial on it soon:D (wine Method) • SKSE Does work with Wine (just a hassle) • SKSE will not work with cider • SKSE works easier with bootcamp TDLR; USE BOOTCAMP • • • • •.

Basically its a matter of principle for some mac users who are dedicated to the OSX software. Its also a matter of going through the partitioning process which some find daunting. And you have to obtain a copy of the windows software. You do get better performance doing bootcamp from what i've heard and read.

I'm actually considering switching to that method since using nexus mods with bootcamp is a lot easier than the wine method. Whereas with wine, you don't change anything and you only purchase the game. Its a headache at first to understand like all new things, but allows you to play the game and still run OSX and do other things.
