Howdy all! Brand new member here and pretty new mac user. I've slowly been getting acclimated to my new Macbook Pro, and I've really been enjoying it!

I recently purchased EU3: Complete from the App Store, and it has run terrifically. However, I was hoping to alter some of my saved games with a text editor (I'm assuming macs have something like notepad), but I can't seem to find where any of the game data is, let alone my saved games! :p

I've tried searching through spotlight with no luck, and I even tried searching through finder looking at "This Mac" for anything and nothing ever shows up... not even the 'EU3 Manual.pdf' which I'm able to view when I play the game, I just can't seem to find where it's located on my mac.

Anyone know where they store the game data files? Thanks!
 
IIRC it's in [user]/Library/Application Support/[EU3-something].

When I was looking for the answer earlier I came accross someone suggesting just that. However there is nothing whatsoever in my app support folder...

This was the route I went 'Mac HD' -> Library -> Application Support -> 'nothing but folders for other programs, no EU3 stuff or a paradox folder'
 
I think you want [username]/Library/Application Support instead of iMac HD/Library/Application Support.

Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but could you teach me on how to get to that file path...specifically the 'username' part?...

This is about the best I can do, but it doesn't have anything in it...
'Mac HD'/Users/*my user name*/ (this contains folders like desktop, downloads, music, etc. but no 'library' folder)
