Mods - Mods and more mods

[Adam Jensen]

Yes I know its something that has been mentioned before but i think its worth mentioning again. :-)

I dont know if devs read this but there is MASSIVE potential for the longevity of this game where literally 1000's of mods could come into play as there are so many items people could add.

I have a few ideas of how some mods would be applied

1. New land purchase (when building your own house - so you can build extensions etc)
2. Being able to mod the outside, with paths, planters, grass, garden builds etc
3. New Items (there would be literally 10's of thousands as there are so many categories)
4. More jobs - ones which dont just require a simple few rooms but proper repairs as well as rebuilds
5. Approval ratings - Judging by how youve modded and sold houses in the past means you get more people wanting your house when you sell it = better profits
6. Being able to mod or build additional floors so you could have a multi-story house
7. Attic builds in addition to above (or basement.....or both!)
8. Being able to mod the roof
9. Modding the actual windows with different designs which would or could affect the aesthetics of the house.

If the devs just made it possible so that modders CAN do these things, then Im sure the longevity of the game would be assured. Not only that but it would make gamers interested in future content of any possible DLCs. Win win IMO.

Just some of my ideas, however feel free to comment or add your own. :-)

Hey,

Most games usually release modding capabilities after DLC, as the game is still new (and DLC is being worked on), modding support wouldn't be added just yet, I'm not saying it won't - just that modding is typically added to a game later in its progression. There are other things we are working on that may satisfy some of those conditions above, but we can't go into details yet :)

Thank you for replying!

Thats excellent news. The game itself is very satisfying to play but didnt last long enough IMO. However I would definitely look forward to more stuff!

Oh yes! I think if user content was added, and you could work on houses created by other people it would make this already brill game, well, amazing! I think that would raise it above the sims as my all time favourite game! Ive only got 5 houses left to buy now and already slowing down trying to eek it out lol x

Thats the problem, longevity. I finished the game in literally a few days. It was very theraputic to play but after running out of jobs i did the buying and selling and ran out of houses as Ive done them all. Not rnough content means Ive shelved the game for now.

Really hope instead of adding dlc they add base game items.

i think the ability to allow others to make items would be a better move

The outside would need to be included in the upgrades, as ive mentioned in my ideas above :-)

Total agree, but also missing the scenarios and jobs where they could be used. The houses are limited in numbers, people should be able to build their own blueprints IMO and put them on for others to share, bit like Nexus.

I am totally happy if the ability to create mods for the game gets added after the next dlc. I will just wait then till I have far more content to play because it is kinda frustrating and unsatisfying if you can not furnish and change a house in a way that would fit your own taste. By this the game gets really boring and repetitive after too short time.
