Some steps are unnecessary...
Authored by: wallybear on Sep 12, '03 01:07:08PM
Open your user's Library -> Preferences folder. There's a file in there called com.aspyr.simcity4.plist. Use Command-I to get info on the file. Under Name & Extension, I checked the box "Hide Extension,"; under Open With, I changed the application from Omni Outliner to Text Edit; under Ownership and Permissions, I clicked the padlock icon so it goes to the unlocked position.


All those operations are unnecessary.

  • Hiding the extension is useless
  • If you want to open the file with TextEdit, just launch it and drag the file to the TextEdit icon in the dock while pressing apple and option keys
  • You need to open the padlock only if you want to change permissions and ownership, not to unlock the file: that function is under General, and the file is already not locked.
