What mods are you using?

[Dude_84_Dude]

I haven't tried any mods yet, but I thought I'd start this just to get the ball rolling.

I got most mods on now, had some confusion since the workshop page only has maps so I didn't realize that the Mod menu actually had real mod content. I pretty much got everything that diversifies the game and gives more options on buildings, and improves teamsters a bit.

Hm so there is an ingame mod menu? I saw the mod update and I thought well not many folks do mod this game.

It is way to hidden. Sure once you found it, it will be obvious.

Hidden? It's right on the main menu, unless you never launch the game it isn't even slightly hidden.

Hidden?

There's no mods on steam except maps like I said.

As I said before, let me quote what I said so you can read it and understand it.

"had some confusion since the workshop page only has maps so I didn't realize that the Mod menu actually had real mod content."

Consider the following now.
1. Most steam games have mods on the workshop
2. Tropico doesn't have mods on the workshop
3. Steam worshop is a place for mods.
4. Tropico has only maps on the worshop.
5. To a new player who uses the steam worshop for mods on other games, the Mod button on the tropico main menu might seem like just more map content.

Makes sense when you actually think about it doesn't it?

I, too, would've preferred that the mods be viewable on the workshop menu rather than having to launch the game just to open the clunky mod menu. I keep an Xbox One controller plugged into my PC for other games, and the ingame mod menu thing doesn't know whether to register my mouse or my controller, so it flicks back and forth between the two, making navigating the thing a chore. And I'd rather not have to unplug my controller because that would mean having to rebind all the keys later.

Anyway, I haven't seen any eye-catching mods yet. Hopefully, there will be some that give me pollution cleaning options in Colonial and World Wars, and a work mode for the car factory that makes affordable cars poor people can use. Definitely need more plantation options, too. And housing. Bring back condos. And make houseboat communities for space efficiency. There's my wishlist.

Have you tried browsing and subscribing to mods on the mod.io website?

I haven't used mod.io before, but I signed up to check out the Tropico 6 mods. I only used it pretty briefly, but I found the mod.io UI nicer than the Steam Workshop UI.

Once you log in to mod.io in game, your subscribed mods will be synced and you can enable/disable them. No need to keep opening the in game mod UI. I've only just tried it out, but the only thing I found a bit annoying was having to restart the game after enabling/disabling mods - but it restarted in like <5 secs, so nbd.
