Tutorial on how to setup a macOS Sierra Virtual Machine
For my projects I make use of macOS Sierra Virtual Machine, as I like to devide security research, development and personal use. I can imagine more people would like to organize their environments like that, therefore I will help you setting up a VM.
For the best VM usage, disable unnecessary Windows animations, C:\Windows\System32\SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe
You will need to have a license key for VMWare Workstation.
Here are some licenses that can be used.

I do not support piracy, but if you cannot afford a product and solely use it for educational purposes I don't see the problem.

Extract the vmdk rar file using WinRar or any other rar extraction software.
Make sure you have VMWare workstation installed.
Extract the patch tools
Rightclick win-install.cmd and choose "Run as Administrator"
Open VMWare workstation and create a new VM.
Choose "I will install the operating system later"
Choose macOS from the list of Operating systems in the next step.
Edit the VM settings to your likings, preferably half of your computer memory should be allocated to the VM and all processor cores.
Remove the harddisk and re-add a new harddisk
In the next step, Browse to the extracted vmdk.
Go to C:\Users\yourusernamehere\Documents\Virtual Machines
Go into the macOS Sierra folder
