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. How to use Archives 1 Install it to your iPhone or iPad from the App Store 2 Open the app and find the How to Open Archives menu 3 Follow the instructions in the app for each case You can open archives that you’ve encountered in browser, received by mail, or the ones moved from your desktop computer. Click the green 'Save' button on the individual files to save to your local drive. 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. Compare price, features, and reviews of the software side-by-side to make the best choice for your business. To select the rar file, you have two options: Click 'Select rar file to open' to open the file chooser Drag and drop the rar file directly onto ezyZip It will start the file extraction and list the contents of the rar file once complete.

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.
