EnhancedBuildingCapacity - Fixed

Description
I updated this mod to work with the latest version of CS, including the Industries expansion. Tested and working.
I've also added a new config option in the XML for Mail Accumulation
. I have no idea what the vanilla values are, so don't take their defaults as solid numbers. Credit for the original mod and code goes to julianay!

What is Enhanced Building Capacity?
It's a fully customizable building AI enhancement mod. You can configure how many dwellers the residential buildings have or how much garbage accumulates at industrial buildings. The goal is a more balanced gameplay experience, but since it's customizable you can have 600 households in a level 1 apartment if you like to.

How to use
When you're using this mod, as for any building AI modifying mod, I recommend starting a new game and then don't change the configuration file while playing this save game. The reason for that is when Cities:Skylines creates a new building it loads the (modified) building AI data (from the mod) and saves it in a container for that particular building. If you now change any of the configurations the savegame will still be fully functional, but the previous build buildings will load the old values saved in their container. Commercial, industrial and office buildings can and will be patched with the new values whereas I didn't manage to patch residential buildings. To solve this you could either bulldoze every old residential building or start a new savegame. However, if you don't care about these buildings having different values than set in the configuration file - go ahead.

Important Note
Right now the mods' default configurations are the games default values. Put simply, if you don't change the configuration file yourself the game experience will remain the same.

How to configure
A config file will be created when you start a new game or load a savegame and the mod is activated. It can be found your steam directory ("..\Steam\SteamApps\common\Cities_Skylines") and is called "EnhancedBuildingCapacityConfig.xml". The mod will reload the file every time you load or start a game, so you don't have to exit the game if you want to change some settings.

In case you wonder "Capacity" defines how many residents a house can hold or how many people can work at a specific workplace.

And don't worry if you break your configuration file. If the mod cannot read the file it will create backup-file with the suffix -"BACKUP.xml", -"BACKUP2.xml", etc. and create a new one with the default values.

At Flexible Games I strive to encourage playing any game to meet your specific playstyle. Be that with mods or with generally open-world games. Getting the most fun/challenge out of any game is my motto. So when I find a mod that does just that but needs a little updating I try to make it happen.

@flexible games , even if you change numbers for normal residential area,you have to buldoze it the old buildings and wait for the new buildings to appear again to make it affect ,commercial and office seems to be working fine.

@flexible games ok iam willing to pay for you to update this mode where possible of course ,
basically when you zone back to back resident area and when it grows it says 0/0 households,you have to disable this mod - zone it again and wait to everything grows and when its done you have to enable this mod again,also adding office Cluster IT would be very nice as well.Thank you:steamthumbsup:

It's been over 4 years since I even looked at this. Plus I don't have the new DLC so I'm not sure how it broke.

The mod is not compatible with any other mod that changes the same settings, naturally. If you have other RICO mods, that would be why it isn't working.

Have a nice day. I did what was written but the mod didn't work. Are there any other details I should pay attention to? Someone wrote below, but I didn't understand what he meant.
