Okay, I warn you now, this will be a very frustrating experience and will be hard to understand since I'm not quite sure how to put it. 
And please read the whole thing before you try to start installing, since I mixed everything in together and not as just one in order thing.
I'm really tired and have a headache from typing all this, I'm really sorry but I am just too lazy to go through editing it all for the millionth time.
Note:
I do NOT recommend having Babyz on Mac as your main babyz-ing computer. Think of it more as a fix for when you're a million miles away from your real computer and DIEING to play with your Babyz.
And to be honest, I don't really recommend playing Babyz on Mac period, it is rather annoying to do, annoying to the point of crying.
Warnings:
The game tends to corrupt babyz files, right after installation and whenever you play. Sometimes it corrupts them fully, where they won't work. Other times it corrupts them to where linez are connected weird, pulling ballz out of their normal spot and collapsing certain body parts, the head and hair being one of them.
You CANNOT have more than 2 babyz out at a time, it will crash the game completely if you do, making you have to totally re-do the installation and all that again.
There are problems when sending babyz to and from Grandma's House to the game, it's best to just not use Grandma's House at all and keep your babyz in a different file that you're not playing with at the moment.
Close your game before removing and adding babyz to the game. Also, only take out and add one baby at a time.
Example: Brooke Lynn & Jordan are in the game, Leah, Kammy & Mina are not. Remove Jordan and add Leah, then remove Brooke Lynn and add Mina.
Installation:
Install the Babyz Demo onto your Mac. (I think you'll have to burn the Demo onto a CD, like with the Demo Fooler, it doesn't seem to work if you download it from the site and use it).
Just let it install, don't do any of the setup things, when that comes up, close it.
Then transfer Carolyn's Demo Fooler over from a CD. (I burned mine onto a CD and used it, since it doesn't seem to work if you download it straight from the site onto the Mac.
)
Run the Demo Fooler before Babyz, even the setup, and do as it instructs.
Now you can run the normal Babyz set up, as it instructs, but don't install Via Voice, seeing as it won't work anyways and it seems to make Mac freeze.
Then transfer all your clothes, babyz, toys and whatever else you want in the game over to your Mac through CD, e-mail or however you can.
But, PLEASE make a safe copy of the baby you are going to put in the game, I'm not sure if it will corrupt the baby or not, since the game seems to do that half the time anyways.
Once the install is complete put just one of your Babyz into the adopted babyz folder. No toyz or other items yet.
Then try starting up the game, it SHOULD work but be rather, hmmmm... I guess the word I'm looking for is laggy? The animation is slow and jumps alot, making it impossible to take pictures, and kind of difficult to get the mouse over the baby to pick it up.
If the game doesn't work, it could be for a few reasons, them being:
The model of Mac isn't compatible with the game, period. I personally don't know if there is such a problem, my brother and boyfriend both swear up and down it just won't run on some models, I personally don't think it matters, but considering they are the computer wiz's and not me, I don't know for sure. (But I don't think they know for sure either).
The install skipped a few files when installing. (Mine did this 2 times when trying to install it which was annoying as crap, I just sent them over from my already installed Babyz on my Windows computer).
You might have to take the flower seeds and potted plant out of your game, they seem to cause a problem, I'm not sure if they can run with them or not. I run mine without them.
One last thing:
Do not blame me if your Mac stops working, I can't help if Babyz causes a problem.
Those of you who have tryed installing Babyz on Mac before knows there are problems to begin with, and there always will be since the game was intended for Windows.
If you have any questions please post them here and I'll try to help with them if I can, I'm not sure I can since really, I only managed to get it installed after a week on non-stop work on it and my brother and boyfriend doing more than half the work.
Also, no one has ever tryed installing it by my instructions before, so I don't know for sure if it will work this way or not, but it should. SHOULD being the word here.
Okay... I am tired and am done with this for now, I'm sure I've missed like 100 things that need to be in here, if anyone notices anything missing or something, just go ahead and say.
Now, I am off~ <3
