Can't find product codes on Steam
I have a new macbook that generally runs TS3+Ambitions like a charm; when issues come up, they're invariably my fault. I know that this post is kind of long. I'm just trying to be thorough so that p...

I know you were just being cheeky. I've become very good at ignoring advice that I know quite well is the best course of action. I was just saying that my procrastination... okay, maybe my tantrum as I'm being dragged by my ankles kicking and screaming... is something that I understand about myself, and yet I don't to anything about it. But I plan to. Maybe tomorrow. Or the next day.

When I tried to run my game with Ambitions and two SPs (baby steps) I received the unknown error message. The same thing happened when I first installed Ambitions on this computer, and that time I just needed to find the Ambitions icon and create an alias for the base game to read (I think?). @BluebellFlora's instructions worked for me (which is when I joined the forums to say thank you). This time, though, I needed the more comprehensive solution to copy and paste my Ambitions folder into the SP that was trying to launch the game. If anyone is curious:

As always, I am eternally grateful to all of the knowledgable people who keep fixing the errors and bugs that would otherwise make this great game completely inaccessible to someone like me. Unless I bootcamped my mac. Which I'll totally do. I promise. Someday.
P.S. Steam eventually replied to me to say that I should just play on a Windows system and then I could have the codes. So... thanks for that.
