  • Graphics Card:Standard iMac
  • Operating System:Other OS/Not specified

Posted 18 April 2012 - 12:45 AM

Ever since my PC broke down and i bought an iMac (for art program purposes, something it does brilliantly), I have been struggling to play my favorite game of all time again; Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. I downloaded Wineskin after hearing it was one of the better ways to port games to a mac, got the Vampire "wrapper" from this site, and have ZERO idea on how to use either of them. I am pretty clueless when it comes to the finer points of computers, and am about one frustrating fail-session away from screeching and hitting my computer with a stick Stanley Kubrick style. Can anyone help? Is there a for-dummies guide to this? What steps, in the simplest possible terms, must I follow to play my precious game on this new system?

Thankyou in advance!

Ok first of all, wrappers are just for people who dont know how to port, its ok, your new so. First, in order to play that game, you must have a torrent or CD for that game, if you have the game from a torrent or CD, tell me so I can tell you what to do next.

( you will need the game files from a pc or wineskin installer to play the game)(game files not installation files )
simple right click wrapper and follow these instructions
Show package contents > contents > c_drive
copy your game folder into there & if you have the steam version apply the steam crack included with the wrapper (instructions for that in wrapper)
after you are done
close all windows & launch wrapper
done :D
hope this helped
