Can't open downloaded park or scenery

[WispyGreens]

I've just installed OpenRCT2 on my mac and i'm trying to open parks that i built in the past but it won't open them.
I want to get the scenery that i used in these parks, and it used to be that if you opened a park you automatically got the scenery that it uses.
If i download scenery items and put them in the scenery folder it doesn't show up in the game either

I used to make video's of my park builds and would like to start doing that again, but i not without the cool scenery i used to have.

This still is the case. But this only works if the save file includes the scenery objects with it. Make sure you have "export plug-in objects with saved games" checked in the options.

If you have a save file which is not exported, the game will show you a list of the objects that are missing but you'll have to locate and download them manually.

You have to put them in the OpenRCT2/object folder, not the ObjData folder. This is a recent change.

I don't have an (object) folder... Just the ObjData

Are you looking in the Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 folder, or the OpenRCT2 folder? They're different.

I haven't got an OpenRCT2 folder. Where would i find that?
I'm such a noob.

If you installed the game, you certainly have the folder somewhere. Search for it using your computer's search function. I'm not sure where it installs on Mac, as I'm a Windows user.

[X7123M3-256]

On Windows it's Documents/OpenRCT2. On Linux it's ~/.config/OpenRCT2. If there is not a subdirectory named object, just create it.

Do you know what the location is for Mac?

I've searched my computer but there is no OpenRCT2 or Object folder anywhere. 

this is how i installed it:

 

[saxman1089]

Try looking here: users/<username>/library/applicationsupport/OpenRCT2/object, where <username> is whatever your Mac user name is.

I've searched my whole computer and can't find any openRCT2 folders. But i have managed to open a few of my old scenarios with scenery.

Thanks for the help guys!

It's actually very easy now: start OpenRCT2, click the red toolbox and select the fifth option: Open custom content folder. In this folder, the subfolder "object" should already be precreated.
