Any essential mods?

[Karsk]

Title says it all. I was wondering if there are any really good mods. Like a Vanilla Plus sort of mod?

[Nightwolfnl]

The Mega Patch is one I would consider essential: https://www.gamepressure.com/download.asp?ID=56748

Other mods that I like which can be useful depending on what you want:

• Either this one[www.nexusmods.com] unremovable rocks removed in the mountain) or this one[ratchet302.gitlab.io] (rocks removed plus starting entrance)
  
• Non-lethal Super Agents[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• No Control Room beeps[ratchet302.gitlab.io] - Seriously, get this one.

I linked to a few mod-pages on Nexus but the deleted user for those mods (Ratchet) stopped updating mods on Nexus and uploaded updated versions of those mods (and quite a few other mods) on his own website.

The problem is that for some of them there's no real description of what they do (and the majority of his mods never had any mod-pages on Nexus at all even), which is a shame. Still, he has made quite a few useful mods, go check them out for more of them and other tweaks on his website.

Sure will! Btw have you tried EG2? Bc the Mostly Positive reviews kinda spooked me

[Nightwolfnl]

I have. I'm playing it right now. it's pretty okay. It's quite different from the first one in some aspects, some good, some that bad or at least that could be improved, but it's not too bad overall.

But that's my opinion about it.

Oh nice, had to start playing the old Evil Genius again after I read the new one turned into mobile waiting game.

That makes me sad

If you were bad at making chains with traps, like me, it was also a waiting game in EG1. But like I said, some things got better/improved, some things were left out/were worse.

I'm definitely not among the "mobile gaming"-community but I can enjoy most things that are good.

Just so people know they did have a mobile version of the game and it flopped hard.

[Nightwolfnl]

It did, yes.

Did have a look at EG2 user reviews and some game-play; and it seems each thing they did right two things went wrong. They oversimplified the game and I hope mods can fix the experience but some doubt with the whole season pass thing giving them reason to really make it mod unfriendly.

How do you get the main patch to work with the game??

[bigfoot_sev]

Time Controls is good one for EG. Makes things faster a lot.

[ZanyScum]

The most important patch is any patch that gives you your preferred desktop resolution in the game. It looks like a current game with that. No idea how they did THAT.

[Basilisk]

Evil Genius 1 (EG1) was far, far, far from perfect.
Some even called it half baked at best.

So why did it become one of the Greatest games Of All Time (G.O.A.T), or at least a big trend setter for games to come?
Well, the community fixed EG1 with modding!!

I've re-created the most important ones, see below and have fun!!
