The folder structure is slightly different on OSX. You'll need to open up the package and replace the "AShortHike.app\Contents" folder with the patch version instead.

Thanks for letting me know, I don't use OSX often, so I wasn't aware of this problem.
The patch only includes files that need to be changed, the rest of them should be preserved, as you found out.
On windows, when you copy a folder into another folder, it doesn't delete anything in the folder, it just replaces any duplicate files - i didn't know that wasn't the case on OSX. Is there any other way around this on OSX? If not, I might have to change the patch to make it easier to install - sorry for the trouble!
Hey Adam I got this to work perfectly on my Mac. The trick to easily replacing all of the files in one go, is to drag the multiplayer mod Contents folder to the existing Contents folder for A Short Hike whilst holding the option key (⌥ /also known as the alt key in Windows-land), then let go of the mouse button and you’re prompted with a replace or merge window.
Merge the files and the mod is good to go.
