You don't need OpenCS to add a mod. Just tick it in the launcher. If it still crashes in 0.32.0 then that might indicate either a bug in OpenMW (which you should report so we can fix it) or a variation in the data files that we haven't seen yet and that we may be able to adapt to (for which we also need a detailed report of the problem).

Click the box left of the plugin's name on the data file page?

I assume you have actually installed the mod, if not then it will not be in the list to tick. See https://wiki.openmw.org/index.php?title ... stallation for how OpenMW is different to Morrowind.

Just copy the mod into the data directory. Exactly as you would do with vanilla MW. And the cfg file is just a plain text file.

The place where you installed MW to? Alternative you can put the files in the user data directory (better!).

According to our wiki on a mac you can find the user data directory at $HOME/Library/Preferences/openmw/data (you may need to create the data subdirectory first). Just copy the esp/esm files and any assorted resources directories (likes Meshes, Textures and such) in there and you should be good.

I'm not seeing the area for data...

Do I need to go show package contents? Resources?
