You simply drag the files to the App and the special characters are removed. 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: Click Add button of the menu bar to add your RAR files and your added RAR files will be listed on the left side of window. It will start the file extraction and list the contents of the rar file once complete. Open RAR files and preview before decompressing. Drag and drop the rar file directly onto ezyZip. Download The Unarchiver from the App Store. Click 'Select rar file to open' to open the file chooser.

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. Choose the destination for your file folder. Right-click on the file and choose Open with and Parallels.

Click the Extraction button to specify how you want the program to manage the folder. I was late to the CC party and experienced this as the built in Archive Utility in macOS can’t handle 7z files. Select the RAR or 7z file you want the program to open. 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.
