Thank you!!
I don't think I can use things from rederosity though cuz I'm using a Mac D:
Content is OS nuetral...it doesn't matter which operating system you are using.
I mean cuz trying to install 3rd party products on a Mac is near enough impossible. Something to do with merging files. Macs have issues with that. :( I have no idea how to overcome it. Wish that product was sold on the daz marketplace.
I'm a mac user and I have no problems installing content from Renderosity. Download this version of BetterZip: http://macitbetter.com/dl/BetterZip-1.8.3.dmg ; It will allow you to extract zip files into the runtime of your choice. You might need to play around with the preferences to find out exactly which is right (some do the annoying thing of adding junk to the destination folder name so as to not do what you want...stupid programmers thinking we are too dumb to be trusted).
Greetings,
I second BetterZip. I wrote a long thing about my process (on a Mac) and the problems it solves that you might run into, but then I looked back and realized it would just sound too scary, and it's just usually not that bad. BetterZip will unarchive zip files into an existing directory structure, which is what you need.

Thanks, I'll give it a go. Does anyone have a step by step of what I have to do after using betterzip to extract the files. I'm a bit of novice at things like that. Don't want to screw it up :)
You should try my free "RendoInstall For Mac OS X" then - you find it here: http://4eyes.code66.se/?p=7775
It may be different for Mac users, but I doubt it.
I like to extract the files to a temporary folder, then copy them over to my runtime. May help you, since you can check out the extracted files to look at the structure and be sure it's going to the right place.
Oh and dang this place costing me money, in my wishlist now.
I do it all by hand. It's usually 3 or 4 folders at most. I get to know my runtime as well.
you can add geometries, library and textures folders to your favorites drop down in the sidebar and extract to the desktop, then drag to the folders or get to them removing some of the clicks between all the nested stuff if you don't wish to use a 3rd party solution.
Actually, if you just drag a folder (say the extract runtime) onto another folder, OS X will replace the one you are dragging onto. That is why it's not as straight forward for MAC users than for Windows folk. The reason it behaves this way is related to the fact that OS X "Apps" are actually just directories with the extension .app and a specific set of files/directories contained within. That makes it really easy to install/upgrade most software, you just drag and drop the new version inside the Applications directory and you are done. Of course, this isn't always the desired behavior...
I do this, too, but once I have rearranged stuff, I zip everything up, and then use BetterZip to extract the stuff into my runtime.
BTW, I pointed to a specific version of BetterZip because I wasn't able to make the next version (2) work like we need. It's possible that they fixed that, and using version 3 might be faster or more capable.
BTW, if you purchase several products and want to install them at once, you can use the following command line in your mac to extract them to a common directory, then do what you need to rearrange, then finally zip single runtime into a single archive and extract. It saved me a lot of time and hassle when I was doing a lot of purchasing a Renderosity:
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b"); for file in `find . -name "*.zip" -print`; do yes A | unzip "$file" -d temp-runtime; done
What it does is finds all .zip files contained within the current directory and extracts them into a single directory, temp-runtime. It will find files that are in subdirectories too, so you can go ahead and organize your zips accordlingly and it will still work. Just make sure they are located inside your current working directory.
