Since the unofficial Wrapper was integrated, there seems there have been some nasty bugs in Portingkit. Most of the problems were related on both sides having a few issues which ended up in some install failures. Most of them are now luckily fixed and Porting Kit is because of that much more stable now. Thanks to some good troubleshooting of Gcenx and Vitor, we have Portingkit way more where we want it to be.
Wineskin For Mac Catalina
Unofficial Wineskin and all of its components are 64Bit bar WSGamma due to the lack of source. Wineskin Engines are Wine, meaning if Wine doesn’t work on on macOS Catalina, only CrossOver19 when launched will function on macOS Catalina and I don’t plan on building that on day one. 13) close the Wineskin.app, now you can use Wavosaur.app by double clicking on it, like any Mac application. Copy Wavosaur.app anywhere you want (/Applications sounds like a good place). This entry was posted in Wavosaur and tagged application, freeware, Mac, Mac OS X on 24 April 2014 by Wavosaur.
Update upcoming 64bit only 10.15 Catalina:
Although the good news above, here also a status update of the coming of the new Mac OS 10.15 Catalina. We haven’t processed a lot yet because of lot’s work/business in out private lives. The first focus is a Linux version, which is in development, but is still in starting fase. So there is still lots of work to do. One thing is for sure, we will not make it when the New OS Catalina gets released. We will do our best to get a something “Virtual” around, but it will be quite later after the release of Catalina.
Wineskin Mac Catalina; Wineskin App; Wineskin Mac 10.15; Wineskin is free! Wineskin currently works on. Link for mac os high sierra. OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard; OS X 10.7 Lion; OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion; OS X 10.9 Mavericks; OS X 10.10 Yosemite; Wineskin Winery is the only tool you need to download here. The latest Sims 4 is 64 bit only and official wineskin is 32 bit. This is probably the issue if you are not using the unofficial 64 bit wineskin. 1 point 1 year ago. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly.
So if you still want to use Porting Kit after release of Catalina, make sure you turn off the the automatic update. Because if you update to Mac OS Catalina, 32bit will be totally dead and portingkit itself will open up fine, but the 32bit games will not launch anymore. “But if you create a 64bit engine, will the games then not work?” No because the games itself are still 32bit and calls one 32bit processes, which simply cannot be done anymore. Simply and plainly, Apple pulls the plug and it seems there is no way back…. So the advise!? Don’t update to OS Catalina if you love (older) games!!!

Note: I know this is an old thread, and am just posting to help anyone else who stumbles upon this thread.
First of all: Wine (just plain wine) is NOT available for Mac, so that leave you with Wineskin, WineBottler, PlayOnMac, or CrossOver.
Wineskin and WineBottler are intended for creating wrappers, which is basically converting it to a Mac application.
Wineskin gives you more customization over your wrapper.
WineBottler also comes with a system that lets you just run any exe on mac just like that.
PlayOnMac lets you download and run supported apps easily, but isn't good for just any exe.
CrossOver is paid software.
Wine On Mac Os Catalina
If all you want to do is run exes with right-click>Open With, than install WineBottler.
