PC to Mac noob

Has anyone had any experience with migrating files from PC to Mac? Of course I'm specifically talking about NWN2 and BGTCC. I have Bootcamp and Windows 10.

You'll need to run the NwN2 Installer. And an installer that includes the Expansion Packs, or individual expansion pack installers.

After the initial installation, it is simply a cut-and-paste job of bringing over your old, custom files from the My Documents folder, of Neverwinter Nights 2. Use a USB stick for this.

Do you have the original discs, or the game from Steam/GOG?

GOG

A USB stick well I've got one of those. It seems simple enough. Thanks by the way.

Are you referring the NWN2 installer off of the Neverwinter Vault.

Pretty much, boot up Bootcamp and Windows 10, then log onto GOG or where ever you can get your Installation files, then install the Game. Or maybe you downloaded the game from GOG on your old Windows computer, and you can bring that over to the Bootcamp'd version via USB

Then, if you have your old Windows computer/setup, copy over the My Documents files to the Bootcamp'd version of Windows 10—if that is even necessary.

Just to make sure we cover this: PC installers DO NOT work on Mac OS. Hence, why you're using Bootcamp. It is possible to get the Mac version of NWN2 + Windows versions of the expansions to work on the Mac OS, but it is buggy as all hell (I've tried, trust me).

What I do is use Wineskin, a Windows game emulator, which runs natively on the Mac. That way I don't have to use Bootcamp/Windows (though I do have a version of NWN2 on my Bootcamp as well, for when I used to DM on BGTSCC).

Does that help?

Thanks works great.
