Cities: Skylines 2 on Mac / Apple Silicon

PROJECT DEAD - DONT USE ANYMORE!

Sadly, after newer patches (the first one after they introduced mods), I wasn't able anymore to get the game working.. sometimes at least the paradox boot logo came, sometimes not even that. Long story short: Its not working anymore.

Old content:

Previous work

I previously created an initial guide on Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines2/comments/197i518/running_cities_skylines_2_on_macbook_pro_m3_max/ ) This repository is a continuation of that work and should simplify the process for others.
