Having trouble running School of Lust on MacOS? (Patreon)

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Rosetta is Apple's translator that lets newer Apple Silicon Macs run apps that were originally made for Intel Macs.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