Followup on my discovery of the Whisky app for installing Windows stuff (notably, games, notably especially for me, Skyrim) on macOS:

My attempt to install Whisky was shaky, it wasn't entirely happy with the current version of the Steam Client. I _was_ able to get Skyrim installed and running, but I had to jump through a hoop to make Whisky download a previous version of the Steam client. Which seemed suboptimal. Also, I had weirdness with Skyrim's sound once I got it running.

So now I'm also going to investigate Crossover. This does the same thing as Whisky, and it's also open source. But it's not free. So I'm going to play with the trial version and see if it's more solid. More to come!

OMG y'all I just learned about an open source app called Whisky, which pretty much does for MacOS what Proton does for Linux: _lets you run Windows games_.

I just successfully used it to install Steam and Skyrim, and ran through the first bit of Helgen. Sound and screen size were a little wonky, but I think that may be finessable, I'm going to play with this some more. And if I can fix THOSE things, then I'll see if the _real_ challenge will work:

_Modding_ Skyrim on the Mac using this tool. :D
