Please post links to MODs that have been tested and will work on the Mac version of Civilization IV in this thread. Feel free to include a brief description of the MOD and any relevant Mac-specific installation information.
This thread shouldn't be for discussion of MODs or about testing of the MODs; just a single post per MOD allowing people to quickly browse through the confirmed compatible MODs and get the files.
Most MODs can probably be installed manually, but AlanH has been working on a drag and drop MOD installer which you can obtain from here. It will only currently install mods that will work as CustomAssets. The mod has to be supplied as a zip file with 'CustomAssets' as its top level folder.
- Download it and open the disk image.
- Drag the Mod Installer application to /Applications/ and launch it.
- Select Civilization IV in the popup menu at the top. It should look for Civ4 on your hard drive and show it as an entry in the window.
- If this doesn't happen, drag your /Applications/Civilization IV/ folder into the window.
- When your Civ4 folder is listed in the Mod Installer window, drag the MOD as a .zip file onto its icon. Confirm that you want to proceed, and it should install the MOD in the appropriate folder.

First cab off the rank, Blue Marble, written by Kai Fiebach aka ColdFever (and thanks to AlanH for his efforts to make it available to us Mac users). Blue Marble provides a replacement set of terrain tiles. You can find more information about Blue Marble at this site or in this thread.
Here is the thread covering the test version of the mod for Macs, and using the Mod Installer. The links in that thread will be updated when ColdFever provides a Mac page on the Blue Marble site.
