Looking for simple way to run FNV on mac

I've been having serious problems with my PC and it eventually broke down.

Since the "solution" (note the Turian airquotes) involved erasing the primary boot drive, I just wasn't in the mood to do a complete reinstall of my system, especially since it would require me to purchase the latest version of windows (because the old one no longer functions with newer games).

 

But I still wish to play Fallout New Vegas.

I've been doing some investigating on this topic and apparently, it is possible.

 

But so far, I haven't managed to find a way to do it properly.

 

The number 1 proposal has to be use Wineskin or Winewrapper, but I can't wrap my head around the technical process to get them to work.

 

 

Before my PC took a nosedive into silicon based oblivion, I made sure to do a complete backup of the Fallout New Vegas folder and all the associated mods with it.

And for the record, that is a legally purchased copy.

 

 

What I am looking for is a simple way to boot up the programs inside this folder without having to do something overly complicated.

I primarily want to run the game itself and have it use the installed mods (because my savegames won't work without them!).

Hopefully I'd also find ways to use FOMM and GECK as well, but not sure if that is possible.

 

Basically, I just want a program to access the FNV exe program and boot it in mac.

Something quick, simple and easy to use whenever I want.

 

 

Please let me know if there is a way to do this.

Or alternatively, if it isn't possible, I'd appreciate knowing that too, so I can stop trying something that ultimately cannot be done.

 

 

 

Oh, and please don't mention Bootcamp.

I've been down that road and it never works.

Especially since it makes you use windows and I don't want to do that again!

Plus, I'm getting rather annoyed that 97% of the responses to this problem is some PC user who's never touched a mac in their life always invevitably thinks Bootcamp is the magic solution!
