Importing Skins from Another osu Lazer on macOS

Are you tired of starting over with a new version of osu! or reinstalling all your favorite skins? Thankfully, transferring songs and skins between different installations is easier than ever. In this guide, we'll walk through the process step-by-step.

### Prerequisites

- Both old and new versions of osu! Lazer are installed on macOS (High Sierra or later recommended).

- You have administrative privileges to access certain directories.

### Transfer Songs or Skins from Another osu Wineskin

#### Step 1: Locate Essential Files in the Old Installation

1. Open Finder.

2. Navigate to `~/Library/Application Support/` and then find your old osu! Lazer installation's directory (it should be named after its version, e.g., `osustable`, `osu-lazer-20210901-1549-macos.zip`).

3. Within this folder:

- Locate the `Songs` directory.

- Find the `Skins` directory.

- Identify and move the `Scores.db` file.

#### Step 2: Transfer Data from Old osu! Lazaar

1. Navigate to `~/Library/Application Support/` again, then find your old osu!.zip installation's `Data/r` folder (if it exists).

### Installing Skins on a New osu! Lazer

#### Using the App Store Version:

If you've installed osu! Lazer from the Mac App Store:

1. Open Finder.

2. Navigate to `/Applications/`.

3. Right-click (or Control+click) on `osu!.app` and select Show Package Contents.

### Importing Skins into a New Installation

#### Step 1: Locate Your Old osu! Lazer.app

- In the newly opened window, navigate through these directories:

- `Contents`

- `Resources`

#### Step 2: Copy Necessary Files to the New Installation's Resources Directory

1. Identify and copy all files/folders inside your old installation's `Resources` directory.

### Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter problems during this process, such as missing or corrupted data:

- Ensure that both source and destination directories are writable by using Finder's 'Get Info' feature to change permissions.

- Try manually moving the necessary files instead of copying them (this can resolve issues with file ownership).

To conclude, importing songs and skins between different versions or installations of osu! Lazer on macOS is relatively straightforward when you know where to look. Remember to always exercise caution when downloading files from the internet to avoid potential security risks.
