Out of curiosity, which wine and winetricks version do you use?
Winetricks shouldn't matter at all, wheather game will run or not. It's just bash script for automated installation of dlls and some basic programs, but users can install it manually, of course it's rather tedious work so script is rather handy. He doesn't have corefonts package.

By the way, here is process copied from earlier installation guide:


• Install Wine Staging. Feel free to move the app wherever you want.
• Now you need to get winetricks from here.
• Run Terminal. Run "sh" if your default shell is not bash.
• Winetricks will require a package called cabextract. To get that you need to install
homebrew. If you already have it installed, skip to the next step. Run ruby -e "$(curl -
fsSL ) " < /dev/null 2>
/dev/null
• brew install cabextract
• exit
• Launch Wine Staging. It will open a shell window in Terminal.
• cd to the location of winetricks. I put it next to Wine Staging.app.
• sh winetricks corefonts
• You need to install more things to get animations to run. sh winetricks ffdshow quartz
• Select defaults for the install
• When you get "Completing the ffdshow Setup Wizard", select "Run video decoder
configuration" and "Finish"
• Click "Tray, dialog & paths", then "Tray icons:" "None", "OK"
To run, double click Wine Staging.app. In the Terminal window that pops up, cd to the MotH
location and type:
wine "man of the house.exe"

Haha unfortunately this all sounds way too confusing to me! I'd have no idea how to do this. I guess I'll have to wait until the mac version is released

It's released a month ago, but nobody shared it here. There are links for 1.0.1, but you still miss Diane ending, and bonus ending with it.
So you can:
1) Run the game with wine. I have posted detailed how to.
2) Give a pledge and get the game at Patreon.
3) Wait.

Why do you reply to me? I was the one who wrote the second version of the mac and linux installation guide :LOL:.

Go and get yourself new glasses :geek:

So far the game starts! This is good! However, knowing the correct Wine version you use might help to install corefonts via winetricks (then the text will appear in the game).

I opened it with wine staging 3.19, I appreciate you trying to help by the way!

Because you asked for version of winetricks, when handyman4567 obviously do not use it. ;) Winetricks shouldn't make problems for this game to run, as it's simple bash script which automatize installation of some libraries and applications (my basic remark, but it's kind offtopic now)


No I didn't
I have posted you step by step guide how to install everything you need for the game to run.

Here is it again:

• Install Wine Staging. Feel free to move the app wherever you want.
• Now you need to get winetricks from .
• Run Terminal. Run "sh" if your default shell is not bash.
• Winetricks will require a package called cabextract. To get that you need to install
homebrew. If you already have it installed, skip to the next step. Run ruby -e "$(curl -
fsSL ) " < /dev/null 2>
/dev/null
• brew install cabextract
• exit
• Launch Wine Staging. It will open a shell window in Terminal.
• cd to the location of winetricks. I put it next to Wine Staging.app.
• sh winetricks corefonts
• You need to install more things to get animations to run. sh winetricks ffdshow quartz
• Select defaults for the install
• When you get "Completing the ffdshow Setup Wizard", select "Run video decoder
configuration" and "Finish"
• Click "Tray, dialog & paths", then "Tray icons:" "None", "OK"
To run, double click Wine Staging.app. In the Terminal window that pops up, cd to the MotH
location and type:
wine "man of the house.exe"
If you have problems, feel free to PM me or cold_arctus Both of us use Linux, but can help you at least in theory.

Is it just me or the music is missing? I mean, not even the music of the gym is working, the street music isn't too, the only music I hear is the pizza music.

Returning to version 1.0.1
Hi Fearin. I noticed that the match of the game to the 16: 9 resolution has been improved (where earlier there was probably a problem that the tables from various prompts in the game were too big now they are okey), because as I showed earlier photos, the game had different squares, curtains, and the "Cancel" button with achievements was too big, as well as the table with the words "achievements" where, after going down to the bottom, I could not click on Veronica's profile to see what I have to finish. Currently, I see that it has been improved, and thank you very much that with this version of MOTH 1.0.1 I can finally look at everything and nothing of the given squares in the game as enlarged tables from buttons does not interfere with the game. Best regards.
P.S. Below gives attachments how I had the appearance of the game window in previous versions, and how it looks already in version 1.0.1

So i cant get the text to work with this version?
Did you actually install winetricks? If you did, install cabextratct.
Then type in terminal:

sh winetricks corefonts
You should have all Microsoft corefonts installed in youw Wine prefix.

sorry, it took me some time to find the old winetricks version which Goobdoob use on his Mac with Wine-Staging 3.19 to play MotH.

Here is what you need to do:
1. Download and extract the zip file
2. move the winetricks file into the same folder you have Wine staging
3. click on wine-staging.app and cd (navigate) to the location where winetricks is
4. use: sh winetricks corefonts ffdshow (this command will install the needed fonts and codec you need to see the animations)
5. start the game.

Hi everyone
I was hoping to see if anyone can tell me how i get to the casino in Veronica's date? I reach the end of the restaurant with full love points, and then answer 'the night is still young', and it doesn't proceed. it only has the option to get in a cab and go home?
Is there something I need to complete first with Veronica, as the note in her profile pic indicates that the next step is to go on a date with her?
I appreciate your assistance

You need to travel by Train/Mass Transit and you will see a flyer that will unlock the Casino then you can complete the date

Is the harem bonus ending supposed to cut short just before Vanessa gives you a bj? All of the other endings seem to work just fine, but that one always ends there. Also Cassie and Linda's introduction haven't triggered the achievement, is there a fix for this beyond starting a new game?

You know, I could have found it in a few seconds! :p

And thanks for those awesome instructions for running it under Wine on the Mac that YOU wrote. :ROFLMAO:
