Apologies. I've been giving Windows path names. The file path should be ~/Documents/Civilization IV Beyond the Sword/CivilizationIV.ini. But those lines should be in that file.

FGS13:
You should be able to add the missing lines. Load the .ini into your favorite text processor, such as TextWrangler or TextEdit, then paste the following lines into it in the blank line between any of the two line settings that are already there and save it. Be sure to use a text processor (as above) not a word processor (like MS Word or Apple's Pages). Do the same thing for the .bak file, which is a backup for the .ini.
; Don't show minimum specification warnings

You do have write privileges for the file, don't you? If you are not sure, check the info for the file. The privileges are at the bottom of the info window.

Hi Xyth, I'm trying to go through your instructions, but I cannot find the "Python.framework" inside my "Frameworks" folder in my Library. I've looked at both the Macintosh HD and User versions of the Library already, but no luck. I'm currently using 10.12.1 Sierra. Any suggestions?

Right. So may I ask where is /System/Library then?

Thank you so much, AlanH! Found it now!

just updated to Sierra (Version 10.12.3) this night, and found myself in this trouble discussed here.
Skipped Yosemite and El Capitan, had Mavericks still working.
Executed all steps from the first post and it worked great.
Thanx for this job aid, appreciate that.

Yes, you'll need to redo the fix after you've installed Sierra.
