It's not working likely because you didn't change the path of the mod install to match the location of your documents folder. When you run the mod installer, you'll need to manually change the path to \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\Documents\Wolverine Studios\DDSCF 2021\. When you run the troubleshooter, there is a button at the bottom of the screen that allows you to copy the correct install folder into the clipboard and then you can paste that as the path when you run the installer.

I am confused..in your first post your using the 2021 version of the mod, while in your second post your using the 2020 version of the mod. What version of the game do you own and what version of the mod? In your second post, if you own the 2020 version of the game and using the 2020 version of the mod, should work fine if not using the steam version. You must start a new league after installing the mod successfully.

A) I got a software called VMware fusion player to run windows on my MacBook
B ) I purchased draftday sports cfb 2021 from Wolverine-studious
C) I found the mod in this forum and I downloaded it
D) I followed your Instructions on your original response. After that I posted what I got back.
E) I am very appreciative and thankful for your help. I am usually good at figuring things out.

[slybelle1]

But you used two different versions of the mod. Make sure to use the version you used when you first posted. Don’t use the 2020 version, like you posted on your second post.

Only thing I can think of is you might have mixed/matched the 2020 and 2021 version of the mod since you posted two different versions and the fact the bowl information isn't there (wasn't included in 2020). I would recommend the following:

1) Delete the folder \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\Documents\Wolverine Studios\DDSCF 2021 (only if you don't have any saves or other information you want to keep)
2) Run the "2021" version of the mod installer ONLY......do not run the 2020 version.
3) When running the "2021" version, make sure the path is pointed to \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\Documents\Wolverine Studios\DDSCF 2021
4) Start the game
5) Create a new league, using the instructions within the included user manual (When you create a new league, make sure to use the League Format of “Modern College I” and for Roster Source use “CPU Generated Players”)

If still doesn't work, I am out of answers....I don't have a Macbook so can't do much troubleshooting, hope others that do have a Macbook and have been successful can chime in.

I figured this out and got passed on everything. I was super happy but when i started a new league the little logos next to each team appear as question marks. I have the team names, jerseys, etc but the little logo icons are still not there=/

[slybelle1]

Mod looks correct now....although with the pro version, look at these posts...seems like possible permission issue. Although parallels,maybe same for fusion

9. If you are using Mac with Parallels to run the game, and have issues with file access, or logos not appearing: Make sure your documents folder is set to the windows user's doc folder. i.e. change \\Mac\Home\Documents to c:\users\*username*\Documents
