Modding Bugs
When a province beyond the 8258th is added, Mac is unable to load. We have data from two different computers (Mac) for that. This makes mods that use the vanilla map with extensions unplayable. There is an alternative map (that GeS uses) f.ex. that makes Macs NOT crash. it is this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2333851309 . The generation of roads is also impossible on most modded maps via the spline network command.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Add provinces in new areas over 8258 total

I have done testing with this. It seems to be a memory address issue with SIGBUS errors in the exceptions log. Pushing over province 8258 will cause a crash unless the province is created from an existing province (like splitting one province into 2). But creating entirely new places on the map like in Libya will cause the game to not launch on Mac. I have tested this on 3 Macs and it crashes on all of them, same exceptions.log errors. Windows works fine up until province 16000 or so.

I know Imperator is deprioritized right now, but any help from SnowCrystal or anyone would be super appreciated, as we want to continue making map extensions available to Mac users for the Invictus mod. Starting next update we will need to have 2 versions of the mod for Windows and Mac until this issue is resolved.

I'd like to ask again, if we ever could get a solution so that more map additions can be enjoyed by amc users again.
We have since the posting gained a bit more information: Catalina does NOT crash before 8258, Big Sur we have conflicting reports whereas Monterey cannot even load the map changes that Catalina can.
The map that is linked in the original post and that is used in Gladio et Sale and the Chinese Mod "Until the End of the World" do NOT crash initially, however when more territories are added then that map does crash as well (we were working on Terra Indomita).
If there are any questions, ask away xD
