In the meantime, I am practically certifiable in the latest version of Lego Digital Designer. However, I've never been quite satisfied with its semi-lack of the newest useful bricks (I have no care for the gimmick pieces), as well as old lost-to-time bricks. I have gone on a download bonanza for the past hour and a half since I found out that LDraw is a thing. I also noticed that many of these things cut off at OSX Snow Leopard at the latest, so… yeah. I'm wondering if anybody here knows the MOST UPDATED and LEAST BUGGY software that operates similarly to LDD but through LDraw.
I was relieved to find that there were recent posts on this forum.
Which of these compressed files (on the attached image) are most necessary, and/or which ones would be completely useless to me?

It's a bad time for LDraw and MacOS. Bricksmith, the best LDraw editor for MacOS and one that I personally used for years, has some issues with Mojave+. Compounding this is that fact that the developer has withdrawn from active development and the people who took over haven't issued a new, working release. That being said, I have heard that people are having success getting LDCad to run under WINE.
To sum up, if you are on High Sierra or less, check out Bricksmith, it's great. Once you upgrade then there may be issues.
