Skyrim .bsa Unpacking (Mac)

[Vai1lyn]

Necropost of Doom, but who cares if it works :P

 

I have just found a working solution for Linux, and since it's Python, and MacOS is UNIX like Linux, it should work on it natively, too.

 

What to do? First, you'll need Python 3 on your system. Then, you can install the following library:

 

$sudo pip install bethesda-structs (or download it fŕom the web)

 

With that, you can extract BSA's up to Skyrim Special Edition. I have created the following script to extract BSA files:

 

#import lib

from bethesda_structs.archive.bsa import BSAArchive

 

#path to your bsa file
name = input("Archive Path :> "

#where to extract the file
path = input("Extract to :> "

archive = BSAArchive.parse_file(name)
archive.extract(path)

 

Hope I could help. Python to the rescue!
