I'm a sound designer for a start up dev team and we have a version of cider to test ( I understand it's not always that simple, but I work with a lot of people in the industry) . I wanted to play oblivion on my mac since I do not own a PC anymore. i was just looking for some advice since I really only know about the sound side of things and don't know if I'm doing this right.

I recently purchased a pc copy of oblivion goty and ported it for mac. I have followed all instructions for manual modding on the cider version , but can only get Shivering Isles to run. i have the .esp files in my oblivion data folder , as well as meshes,textures, etc. in their respective folders. I have also edited the plugins.txt file to show all .esp/.esm files and even follwed the recommended load order. any ideas?????
