What you need:
MonoDevelop
Terminal-Already loaded on Macs
CUSTARD or
Dashboard
First go to Applications-Utility and open Terminal.
Now, type "mono" without the ". Now hit the spacebar, and drag the .exe file from the folders that CUSTARD or Dashboard came in onto the Terminal box and hit enter. And wait a few moments and it should open!
Feel free to ask questions!
Comments
Dashboard.exe keeps asking me for my root, but insists that I navigate there, and I can't navigate inside the app.
However, when I cancel that window I can run Dashboard long enough to check one or two folders. After that it usually freezes for me.
It doesn't really need to know where the root is, since that's not where I keep my package files any longer, I think. However, I do wonder whether my failure to provide a root directory has anything to do with the freezing.
Any ideas?
However, taking out of the subfolder and putting it back on my desktop actually did the trick.
I'm glad you posted. I get discouraged easily when it comes to getting things to work with mono.
Knowing it worked for you was just the little nudge I needed to try again. 8)

I play on a Mac so this I find this post really exciting!
I have tried with the Dashboard but I don't understand what to do with Monodevelop... :roll:
so here is the error message i have:
Here is the text: -bash: mono: command not found
=> IT'S OKAY I FOUND!
That's all there is to it. Make sure you followed the directions on the site you downloaded mono from and make sure they're both installed - you don't need to specifically open up either of them though.
All I keep getting in the terminal when I enter "mono" [space] and drag the Delphy .exe file over is "bash: mono: command not found"
I downloaded mono and according to the site, the next step is to place "mono" in your library/frameworks.
I did that. Second, I extracted sims3PackCleaner.exe.
Third, I opened utilities/terminal and typed mono.
After that I dragged the sims3PackCleaner.exe to the terminal and pressed enter.
This is what I got:
-bash: mono: command not found

Is there anyone that can help me? I have OSX version 10.8.3
Edit:: I figured out everything, but when I try to open Delphys Dashboard, it says access denied. Is this problem caused by my security settings??? Please help; I'm desperate!!
I have the same problem. Don't give up yet, I have been working on finding a solution to this problem. Has nothing to do with security setting, it means this file is not actually executable on MAC. I'm surprised there are people getting this to work with these instructions at all...
hopefully I will have an answer within a couple of days, tomorrow ideally. If you have found a fix in the meantime, please let me know!
hit enter
mono (drag file) enter
it should open. problems getting it to read files after it opens... let me know if that happens for anyone
*make sure to pay attention to where I have put spaces above. also, obviously when i tell you to frag something, don't type that into terminal, drag the file*
Where is the .exe file that i am supposed to drag? Since it is my mac, it doesn't recognize the file so I can't open it or anything. This is probably obvious, but I can't figure it out.
