Mod issues belong here in the Mod issues forum, regardless of platform. There is a stickied thread specifically for Mac users https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-and-Mod-CC-Issues/INFO-Using-Mods-CC-on-a-Mac/td-p/13274366

Exactly, hence the Mac mod thread I linked here in the Mods forum.
The Mac Tech forum is for possible technical issues on Macs running a vanilla game. It is to troubleshoot and help with possible hardware limitations and problems, macOS issues, other software conflictions installed in macOS and discover possible Mac only related game issues such as a graphics issue on certain GPUs for example. It is also a place to post known workarounds for Mac only issues.
Any Mod related posts in the Mac forum are moved here to the Mod issues forum.
