USB partition scheme, GPT or MBR and size of the destination partition.
- MBR, 20GB
- Partitioned 64GB drive with the following command; installer pointed to 'stick', or the 20GB partition
- sudo diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk4 MBR JHFS+ stick 20G JHFS+ free 0
Firstly, did you bother reading the Installation Guide for Mojave ?
For macOS to work properly it needs to be installed on a drive with an EFI Partition. To create the EFI Partition you will have to use GUID instead of Master Boot Record.

Why are you using sudo, since there is no need to run it as a Super User that is causing the
"could not modify plist".
Are you familiar with Linux ?
If so you will notice that if you create a file using sudo and try editing using your normal user. What happens ? you get a permission denied error. Same story here, I will confirm with
@MacMan later (technically until he see's the post) as to find out the permission UniBeast has while running.

This command is also invalid while creating a USB Installer. Since you making it a MBR and you are partitioning the disk, not wiping the entire drive.
The correct common would be this:
I am using an 8Gb USB with windows loaded on it as an example
Code:
command: Curious-Mac-Pro:~ $ diskutil list
The above command will display all your Drives connected to the Mac.
/dev/disk6 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *7.9 GB disk6
1: Windows_FAT_32 ESD-USB 7.9 GB disk6s1
Now that we know the drives number, I usually use the following command to format and wipe a drive.
command: Curious-Mac-Pro:~ $ diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ Untitled /dev/disk6
The above will run and complete by its self
Output:
Code:
Curious-Mac-Pro:~ $ diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ Untitled /dev/disk6
Started erase on disk6
Unmounting disk
Creating the partition map
Waiting for partitions to activate
Formatting disk6s2 as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with name Untitled
Initialized /dev/rdisk6s2 as a 7 GB case-insensitive HFS Plus volume with a 8192k journal
Mounting disk
Finished erase on disk6
Now to test and check if that worked use "diskutil list" and find your drive
Code:
/dev/disk6 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *7.9 GB disk6
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk6s1
2: Apple_HFS Untitled 7.6 GB disk6s2
Once you have completed that, make sure to run nothing else as sudo or anything admin related. Then run and follow the steps in UniBeast.
