This page gives you a tutorial on installing Modpacks on Mac or Linux.
I just thought I’d come back and post this. I had someone ask me to clear up something on download and using mods with TS4. Now, this isn’t strictly for Mac, but if anyone else is having any issues or is confused about moving files over or how to download CC/Mods, this should help. If you download a Sim or House/Lot from a place other than the Gallery, it will go in the Tray folder, not the Mods folder. Backing up Saved Games, Mods, and CC You can backup your Mods and CC just as you can Save files, and it's smart to do this in case of disaster.
Currently the curse client (Where cool new packs are) does not support Mac or Linux, so this page will give you a way to play Curse Client Modpacks on Mac or Linux.
Before starting this tutorial have a modpack you want to install in mind.
Step 1: Download MultiMC.
MultiMC is a program which allows you have have a number of minecraft instances, this is how we are going to play Curse Client modpacks.
Download MultiMC https://multimc.org/. Once you have it downloaded make a folder on your desktop called ‘MultiMC’.
Step 2: Extraction/ Installation
Once you have downloaded MultiMC, open the zip file downloaded (having WinRAR will help).
Inside the zip file there should be a folder called MultiMC, open that folder and copy everything there into your folder you created on your desktop (called ‘MultiMC’).
Step 3: Selecting Java
Inside the folder you now have full of MultiMC files, run the program called ‘MultiMC.exe’. It should bring up a menu to select your java version, make sure you select the most recent version of java you have installed. Some Modpacks require the latest version of java to run.
Step 4: Adding your account
Click on the Steve face in the top right, then click manage accounts. After opening the account manager, click the add button and enter your Minecraft account details. Cracked accounts won’t work and will never work on MultiMC, go buy Minecraft.
Once you’re done click OK and then click close on the bottom of the menu. Now if you click the Steve face your minecraft name should appear on that list, click on it.
Step 5: Creating An Instance
Now before you can play the Modpacks you need to create an instance. Click on the piece of paper with a star on top (Top left).
It should open a menu, give this instance a name (Normally what the modpacks is called) so for example i’m going to call it my Modpack (Refuge). Also check what Minecraft version the pack is, currently most Modpacks are 1.7.10. My Modpacks (Refuge) is 1.7.10 so i’m going to select 1.7.10 by clicking the box next where it says ‘Version’ and selecting 1.7.10, then click OK.
You can change the icon by clicking the infinity logo. After everything is correct click OK.
Step 6: Installing Forge

Then instance should start to get the files from Mojang, after that’s done right click the instance and click ‘Edit Instance’. It should bring up a window, click the button on the side called ‘Install Forge’. All the latest forge versions for your selected Minecraft version should show up, have a look on the Modpack you want to installs Curse page it should tell you the Forge version Mac/ Linux need to use to be able to play the pack. After you find that out select the version stated on the Modpacks page, then click OK for me it’s for 10.13.3.1391. It should get the Forge files, then click close.
Step 7: Installing The Pack
Once you have done step 6, download the Modpack files they should be on the Modpack you want to downloads Curse page. After downloading the files open the zip up and locate to where you see a folder called mods there will probably have more folders as well.

Select them all a copy the files, we will be pasting them in a moment. Go back onto MultiMC, right click the instance and select ‘Instance Folder’. It should open up a file explorer, open the folder inside called ‘minecraft’ delete everything inside. After deleting everything inside the ‘minecraft’ folder paste the files we copied from the Modpack files we downloaded before.
Step 8: Playing Minecraft
Go back onto MultiMC and double click on the instance (that should start to load up minecraft) and Voila, you have successfully installed a Modpack.

Modding is a great way to customize your experience in the game, and mods allow players to inject their own creativity into their open Minecraft worlds. One of the great things about Minecraft modding is that anyone and everyone can add their own spin on things. You have the ability to create your own mods, share them with the community, and gain notoriety for creating some cool in-game ideas! Additionally, you can also download, install, and remix other player-made mods, creating a constant evolution of the ways to play the game.
So, How Do You Download & Install Mods in Minecraft?
Unless your writing unique code from scratch and building your own mod, the best way to start to experience this world of customization is to download other players already-created mods. After downloading, you can then easily install them into your game and begin using them immediately! Follow the instructions below.
Downloading Mods
Thousands of people from around the world are sharing their mods every day. To download a Minecraft mod, go to a trusted site like MinecraftMods or your LearnToMod account, browse the list of user-created mods, and click on one that you find interesting. You can read its description to find out more, then click the Code or Download button, and add a copy of it in your own LearnToMod account.
Installing Mods

Once you have downloaded the mod that you want, it’s time to install it into your game so that you can begin using it. Each mod may have a unique installation guide associated with it, but for most popular mods, you can use a tool called Minecraft Forge for help with installation. To install a Minecraft mod, follow these steps:
- Make a backup file of your Minecraft world. It’s important to save your existing world in case the something goes wrong with the new mod. This will allow you to have access to your original folder and preserve your original game, settings, and creation.
- Download Minecraft Forge. This third-party tool will help with easily adding mods to your different Minecraft worlds. Next time you launch the game, you should have a new profile entitled Forge. Logging into this will provide access to a new menu option called Mods, where you can apply them to your new gameplay.
- Download compatible mods. Make sure you have your newly downloaded add-ons ready to be accessed. We will need to move these to a new folder for complete installation.
- Install mods by copying the files into the /mods/ folder.
- Select your mods and run them. Once you run your mods, you will see them applied directly to your game!
Customizing Other Players Mods
An extra challenge for you is to try to figure out how to add something neat to a mod that someone else has made. Follow these steps:
Test the mod to see what it does, and compare that to what it is supposed to do.
Read the code, and draw it out. (It’s sort of the reverse step of designing code.)
Design one addition to the code and figure out where it should go (for example, in its own function or inside another function).
As you add code, test, test, test!

After you have remixed the mod, share it with everyone else on the LearnToMod site to see how other coders can take it even further.
