Why do you not just hook the gate up to the door control system along with any other doors you have opened remotely?

Bookshelves and couches that work.. 'nuff said

The list can go on and on, I'm running something like 43 mods in two huge customized mods....

[Potential Legend]

These are some great suggestions so far guys thanks! Subscribed to like half of the mods that have been posted so far. Thought I'd help add to the list with some of the mods that I use.


My armored guards would stand around after I cancel their patrol and making my prisoners supressed in areas I didn't want them to be.

I don't know if this is considered cheating but realistically metal detectors should be able to detect cell phones and lighters.

I just hated the normal office chairs.

Just makes things easier.

I just wish there was a way to save our own custom room designs.

Because sometimes you just need an actual window.

I know some of these are repeats, but here is my list:

Better Clock Mod.. If you have a newer, fast PC, this is just great to have.

Three of these I consider essential (better pipes is just nice).

Now, there is one listed by some earlier that I have removed:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=484009454
This mod.. after improving my prison to the point where needs were being met, I started watching my prisoners choose to go to their bookshelf shelves instead of going to the Chapel for reform programs, or going to the Library to get books. I removed this mod, and participation in my reform programs skyrocketed because their needs were being met faster. I'd probably use this mod again if I made a 100% lock down Max prison, but not for my usual prisons.

Nice thread - suscribed :D

Oh wow thanks for sharing that! I noticed a lack of prisoners using the chapel and library and not many people doing reform programs either, thanks!

[lissa_981]

I tend to get less chapel participation, but more foundation/ gen ed.So I'm good with the trade off It is a bit slower then the library but you don't need FT so.. In my gang reform prisons it's a must as FT is to be avoided at all costs. Also adding couches to inside yards provide better comfort then benches, and can be very handy.

I hope they are working with the latest version of PA.

These mods really seem good

I merged a lot of these features in my mods:
