Having trouble running School of Lust on MacOS?

Mac OS Guide

Hi everyone!

We received a few reports, that the most recent release of School of Lust no longer works on macOS. When launching the app it might show the following error message: The application "SchoolofLust" can't be opened.

####################################################

For newer Macs, Apple's Rosetta may need to be installed before the game can run.

Rosetta is Apple's translator that lets newer Apple Silicon Macs run apps that were originally made for Intel Macs.

Step 1: Install Rosetta

Open Terminal on your Mac.

You can find it by pressing Command + Space, typing Terminal, and pressing Enter.

Then paste this command into Terminal and press Enter:

softwareupdate --install-rosetta

Follow any prompts that appear. Once it finishes, try opening the game again.

Step 2: Try the repair commands

If the game still does not open, please open Terminal again and run this single command:

sudo chmod +x "/Applications/SchoolofLust.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs" "/Applications/SchoolofLust.app/Contents/Versions/65.0.3325.146/nwjs Framework.framework/Helpers/crashpad_handler" && sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/SchoolofLust.app" && codesign --force --deep --sign - "/Applications/SchoolofLust.app" && open "/Applications/SchoolofLust.app"

After running the command, which removes potential newer macOS permission blocks, check whether the game opens successfully.

Step 3: Send us the error message

If the game still does not open, run this command in Terminal:

"/Applications/SchoolofLust.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs"

Terminal should show an error message. Please copy that message and send it to us, since it will help us figure out what is going wrong.

One extra note: the Mac version was packaged on Windows, so there is a small chance the Mac app bundle did not package perfectly. That said, if this were a widespread issue, we would probably have heard from more players by now.

If you're still experiencing any issues running the game on Mac OS X, please don't hesitate to reply to this post or contact us.

Cheers! =)

Boner Games · June 23, 2026

Hi Nemo! Rosetta should still work on the latest Mac (until 2027). Did you try following the instructions above? If so, do you get any error messages? Cheers!

Hey BG, I'm still experiencing the same problem I had before, to where I open the game, but nothing pops up. I did the terminal instructions right, and I restarted it again and again like you said, but it didnt work. do you know any other fix?

J
Josh Kirigaya · August 27, 2024

I did all steps in the Video and all steps from here also tryed anything from the comments. Its still not opening... even after trying to open it more then 20 times. Something seems to be just wrong. Maybe something with ''nwjs'' ? (Idk what this is but looks weird)

E
Elijah Robertson · July 9, 2024

Hi BG, I tried to open and close it a few times, but it didnt seem to work. Is there anything else I can try?

E
Elijah Robertson · July 3, 2024

I did all the terminal thingy and it worked, but when I open the game, nothing pops up; not even a black screen on anything. I haven't had this problem with previous versions, and I have a Mac book Air.

Boner Games · July 3, 2024

Hi ER! You may need to try opening the app a few times until it actually works. The latest "Sonoma" has an issue like that, where you have to try a few times for it to open for some reason. Let us know if that works. Cheers =)

Carlos Stewart · June 19, 2024

in order to have my save file transferred what do i look for on Mac?

B
Boner Games · June 19, 2024

Hi CS! The save files are located within the app file. You need to right click the app file and it should show you an option like "Show Contents" afterwards you should find the save folder in there. I can't remember the exact location (and I don't have access to a Mac computer right now), but it should be something like: Contents/Resources/app.nw/save/ . Let me know if you can't find it or if you need further help. Cheers =)

so I did everything in the terminal and moved it to applications. But now when I open it, the game randomly crashes and closes

B
Boner Games · October 17, 2023

Hi J! Sorry to hear that. From what I understand, the game does start, but crashes while you're playing, right? We will need some additional information to figure out what's going on. - Did you have no issues with the previous releases of the game? - How often are these crashes? Did you notice that it crashes during certain events within the game or are they completely random? - Would it be possible for you to tell us which Mac you own or if possible give us your hardware specs? Thank you in advance!

Prince Savage · October 13, 2023

payed $13 and the game doesnt run...

B
Boner Games · October 13, 2023

Hi Prince! Did you make sure to change the version number from 0.8.0a to 0.8.0b when you followed the steps above? We've updated the steps now to reflect the latest version. Please try following them again and let us know if you need further help. Cheers =)

I still have the same problem as a year ago. I get the loading screen, then the warning screen, the two Play and Exit buttons, click on play and then there's the model depiction screen, then the alpha release screen, followed by the Boner Logo screen. The arrow is the boner arrow, and I do need to click on the beginning screens, and click on play to advance from screen to screen. but after the Boner Logo screen, the opening screen with the menu doesn't come up. I've let it load up on it's own, but I do need to click on play to get it to advance. I still don't know what the problem is. The loading occurs at the very beginning, and after it's loaded, there shouldn't be a delay because the program is still loading, right? I did let it run without clicking, except for the play button. it went through it's screens like normal but for the first time ever I got a loading screen again. Except next t the word loading the "little friend" which usually went up and down, was flaccid.not moving at all. Maybe there's something not loading, or maybe it's caught on something after the Boner logo, but before the menu screen. I hope this can be fixed. Yup, tried it again. Get the boner logo, the 'little friend' goes up once, and then stops, and the music plays.

I have a problem with my Macbook telling me that app cent be opened because Mac OS can't tell if it have malware or not

B
Boner Games · November 13, 2022

Hi CD! Did you follow the steps above? It should fix the problem you're having. If it doesn't, please let us know. Cheers =)

Ivaine West · June 7, 2022

so what happend with me is that i did every thing u asked but the game still cant run sure it fixed the thing with the message but still each time i open the app the app just close it self cant even enter and play

B
Boner Games · June 8, 2022

Hi IW! We're sorry to hear that. Can you please download the latest version of the game from the Download Portal again? We did some changes to the files, which should fix the issue you were having. Let us know if that helps. Cheers =)

dom hines · March 9, 2022

so i did all the coding and then put it in the applications folder but when i click on it to load up itll bounce twice in the bottom the not load up

B
Boner Games · March 9, 2022

Hi DH! Did you replace the version number from 0.6.1c to 0.6.2a when you were entering the commands?

J
John Burns · December 24, 2021

I don't know. You see, when I can't see the opening screen, I can't click on "New Game", Without clicking on new game, Which I don't think I'm able to do, as the the music never changes, and I don't know if I"m even able to click on the "New Game" button because I can't see it.

J
John Burns · December 22, 2021

Yup, the game starts up, it goes through the pages until I see the silhouette of the woman, and then... nothing except hearing the music. I don't know if there's going to be a opening screen or not. But I do thank you for your response.

B
Boner Games · December 22, 2021

Hi JBB! That's weird. Does everything work when you skip the introduction part?

J
John Burns · December 19, 2021

Hey Boner, you're last download downloads as School of Lust v0.6.0p1c, but when it downloads, it's labeled as School of Lust Mac 0 and nothing else. Will that give me any problems when I'm trying to get what needs to go into the Applications folder. Looks like it decompressed the zip file. So I didn't have to.

B
Boner Games · December 20, 2021

Hi JBB! Sorry for the late reply. It should not be labeled as "School of Lust Mac 0", but School of Lust v0.6.1c. Can you please try to download again? I've reset the download for your account. Cheers =)

DragoMax · March 22, 2021

I've stumbled across an interesting error, everything loads up and i can click through the 'are you 18+ screen, but then it just goes straight to a black screen. I waited for a couple minutes and still nothing.

WEEB · January 22, 2021

I recently downloaded this but cannot get it to run. I have a MacBook Air and even tried this process of coding for what seems to be for another Mac. I had no success so I am currently trying to re-download. I checked for other updates or further instruction on how to solve this and nothing has worked. I even moved the game into the applications folder and still got the window: "The application "School of Lust" can't be opened." Is there something else I can do?

B
Boner Games · January 22, 2021

Hi Ian! Sorry to hear that you're having trouble running it on Mac. The coding above is not for another Mac. It should work on all MacOS versions. When you ran the commands above, did it show any error messages? That might help us figure out why it doesn't work for you. Cheers =)

hey i cant get school of lust too run, how do i get it to run on windows?

Hi, I followed all of your instructions and having the same issues as Peter Ottes. the file is in my applications folder and tried the right click and still does not work.

B
Boner Games · April 18, 2020

Hi S! Did you change the version from 0.4.2 in the instructions above to the version you have (which I assume is 0.4.3)?

Thank you for the instructions it worked like wonders and keep up the good work.

Peter · January 9, 2020

Any help? Still can't play...

B
Boner Games · January 10, 2020

Hi PO! Sorry, I completely missed your previous reply. Did you already try moving the SchoolofLust app file to your Applications folder and see if the game runs from there? If you did, can you try right clicking the app and trying to open it from the right click menu? The reason for this is so it will bypass the safety precaution. Let us know if that still doesn't work. Cheers =)

P
Peter · January 2, 2020

It says " no such file or directory"

Peter · January 1, 2020

I still can't get this game to work. I was playing on gamcore and still supporting you but then got frustrated as it would be better to to play with it downloaded to my computer. But for some reason this still doesn't work no matter how many ways I've tried. Frustrating that it takes so much to play on a Mac.

B
Boner Games · January 1, 2020

Hi PO! Do you still receive an error message when you try to play the game after you download it to your Mac? If so, can you please tell us what exactly the error message says? It would help us a lot to figure out what's going on. Cheers =)

P
PatrickBateman · November 6, 2019

For those of you having the "unidentified developer" window pop-up on Mac. You can override the safety precaution by right-clicking the ".app" file. The same window will appear however, now you'll have the option to open it as well.

P
PatrickBateman · November 6, 2019

fyi you'll need to do this for nearly all programs you download that aren't coming from the app store

I followed the instruction the app won't launch and when I go into contents to launch there it will start till the tile page then its black

pulltoyjack · September 9, 2019

so i followed all the instruction but when i launch the game in the application folder it says “SchoolofLust” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. hope you guys got a fix for that...?

pulltoyjack · September 16, 2019

Peter · November 10, 2018

Hi! I've tried this a few times and it tells me that there is no such file. Can you please help me resolve this? I have been playing off of another website but that only allows me two days in the game then I am shut off so I never get very far. I know it shows I have downloaded the game but I have had to remove the game and start again. Maybe you can send to my email? Don't know if this makes a difference. Thank-you in advance.

Don't know what the issue is but whenever i input the command "chmod -R +x SchoolofLust.app" it says "no such file or directory" ...

Boner Games · September 23, 2018

Hi TB! Sorry for the late laaaate reply. I totally missed your comment. Before you do that, make sure you entered the directory correctly. The post above says "cd School\ of\ Lust\ Mac\ 0.2.1c/" but it should be "cd School\ of\ Lust\ Mac\ 0.3.0a/" for the latest release. Let me know if that helps. Cheers =)

Netatsake · July 15, 2018

Has something come up concerning the newest update? It's been more than a week since the progress bar was updated, so I'm a little worried that something happened to delay things. I mean I recall the original date for this particular update was originally intended for first week of the month at the very latest, but more likely end of last month - yet we're all still waiting. Is everything alright over there? Do you people need a doctor? The police? An exorcist?

B
Boner Games · July 15, 2018

Hi Netatsake! No need for a doctor/police or exorcist, but if you have a spare programmer or two, that would be nice =) We're still not done yet with the tasks and on top of that we're trying to resolve a game-breaking issue with the new animated scenes. We're doing all we can to release the beta within the month, however I don't believe we ever promised it would release the first week of the month. Can you please tell us when we did that? We'll post a progress report as soon as the issue has been resolved. Cheers =)
