Thanks I'll be doing a more in depth guide soon on modding. Maps are copy and pasted into your game directory inside streamingassets "Maps" folder. If you're new to modding hold off a bit until I update the guide with pics to help. I'm realizing it's a bit of work to put in words if you haven't messed with the files in your directory yet.

I've got most of the maps modding figured out. The only thing I'm struggling with is the railroads and the deeper technical stuff I.e. trying to control the random stuff. Just because there isn't that much info on them. Once I get that nailed down I really want to start creating creative and fun maps.

I would love to see a better modding tutorial!! And from my point of view, your the expert on it.

The big thing with railroad's and map customization is working with the coordinates. For now all I can say is practice messing with the rail coordinate's by making a 2 axis graph on paper. The rail coordinates can be searched in *maps* folder once in folder press ctrl + F and then search the word rails. All COG map rail coordinates should come up but I can't say for custom ones.

I dont know if its a bug but if i build only brothels in all casino rooms, you dont get anybody comin through and no money neither and im trying to demolish a brothel set up to at least put one gambling op, but when i press demolish and then press ok, nothing happens so im stuck with 2 casinos that are not functioning and cannot do nothing about it.

Also i have a bugged debt collection which is on a spot where one casino was built and keep prompting me to go but there is no debt collection icon. Only the gambling room icon but this might just be a Game bug and not a mod bug

Make sure there is at least $500 in casino for small brothels and a bit more for the larger ones. The debt collection prompt does sound like a bug but I don't think it's on my end.

Thanks again for the mod and ill give it a try right now, thanks for the quick reply.

Hi. I'm running Linux, anyone else? Mod Compatibility w/ Proton? Or will I find out for others? Vanilla does crash from the system doing a update check most likely (forgot to reschedule that). Thanks in advance

I don't use Linux so I wouldn't know where to start but maybe a dev or someone on the COG discord can help. Btw does Proton open the game directory files on your operating system so you can add script ? If so maybe the walkthrough for modding is a bit similar but if the directory files are different and compressed you may have a problem with the mod.

I'll give it a go. Edit this afterwards
Edit: Did I do something wrong? The game starts in 1934? Thought the mod extends the game, not completely skips Prohibition.

Yea the mod skip's prohibition so it should start in 1934. I might look into extending the game from prohibition until the 50's (It would kinda make more sense). I kinda have a new update in the works btw so I'll include that above with it.

I was thinking about it and for pure realism of the time period you could add Barbut tables add ons to the casino. It was one of the games that the mob made money with

I can only replace gambling modules atm not add yet. Maybe I can replace it with one of the other games for the moment if it's plausible.

its all good. I have a question, I am playing with your mod on a Modded map from the workshop but i cant seem to encounter bugs the only thing i am not sure of is whenever a hood gets arrested they only get trial if they get caught with alcohol, i had many of my protection collection hoods arrested but always were sent to the safehouse instead of going to jail, It only happened once that one of my hoods was sent to trial was when one was caught with brickwine.

P.S. the only bug i have seen was from running a scheme to get more alcohol, i only had choice of weed or opium as a reward and when i selected one the dialog showed a question mark and nothing was delivered to any safehouse. If these are bugs, they are the only ones i have encountered playing on a modded map. and i am at almost 500 turns

Did you change the protection payment from 60 to 40? because i am using the atlantic city map with African American Ethnicity on seed: 1686503192 and all Fronts payment seems to be paying me 40 instead of 60. I have All after prohibition mods installed.

Just wondering if you modified profitable fronts or if it is a bug or something.

The front's cost money to keep up so it's never really 60 unless you have one corner with only one business on it. The fronts costs very by what type of city block it is (Residential or Commercial and maybe one other I'm forgetting atm) I'm about to do a small update tonight to correct some bugs I seen. I'll look into the schemes later in the week to make sure it's working correc.. maybe sooner

[420gamer]

Since your update last night, I uninstalled and reinstalled the game to reinstall the mods on a clean save and profitable fronts is not working i use whichever city that is non modded on mediocre difficulty and nothing, I dont have 5000 to begin with neither and all fronts pay 20 instead of 60.

Looking into profitable fronts now but I took the 5k out and replaced it with 500. The skills now cost 2500 as well. From doing a few tests the play through was better when reducing the cash and reducing the skill cost. It's a few other changes for gameplay purposes but probably nun as big as that 5k.

Try placing the profitable fronts mod again. I don't see anything wrong with that script atm. In your people.sim file tributePerBiz should say 60 and buildCost should be 500. If you can that's how you check the file is working correctly
