Back In The Day [1920's OVERHAUL]

Description
This mod will turn your Prison Architect into a early 20'th century hellhole where there are no cameras, tazers or sprinkler system. Everything has been overhauled. I've done an extensive test on it and it runs smooth. It is hard, not for everyone - but you will truely feel like the value of your prison and prioners when everything progresses tactically and you have to actually use your head to manage things day in day out.

MAIN DETAILS:
  • Almost complete overhaul of the visuals.
  • Prison upkeep costs: general maintenance of certain objects, water and electricity upkeep cost on water/electric objects.
  • Overhauled criminal charges system with a lot of new crimes and punishments.
  • Added awesome amount of new names to the game so all the prisoners will be unique.
  • New gang names and logos. Gangs don't have rags covering their faces anymore. They will all target prisoners who have commited statutory rape.
  • No cameras, tazers or sprinkler system. All the inproper furniture, tiles and walls have been removed as well.
  • You can safely enable the event system as it will give you events that make sense and would not ruin your prison in one go but on the otherhand makes the challange more real.
  • Research costs a lot more and need a lot more time to be finished.
  • EVERYTHING costs a lot more.
  • If you do well you may reach a stage where you can allow your prion to have door servos and phone interceptors.
  • Small stoves can be used without electricity/water to heat up places, they may catch fire time to time.
  • AND MORE!!!!!!!!


HOW TO PROPERLY SET UP THE MOD:
Due to how PA is built, some parts of the mod is required to be manually installed. I didn't make the rules. Follow these steps to set up the mod, also make sure you ONLY have DLC's from my screenshot down below, otherwise there might be some tiles and objects that should not be in the game.

1. Navigate to : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Prison Architect"
2. Unzip main.dat to the same location
3. You get unpacked Data and Jenkins folders. Delete main.dat
4. Copy-Paste the files listed BELOW from "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Introversion\Prison Architect\mods\OldSchool\data" to that new unzipped Data folder you just created to game main directory.
5. Files to paste :
  • events
  • gangdemands
  • gangs
  • gangsystem
  • grants
  • guardrank_settings
  • research
  • research_dlc
  • reform_programs
  • reform_programs_dlc
  • materials
  • materials_dlc

"They will all target prisoners who have commited statutory rape."
I love this more than you may think, such a nice detail.

I know this mod is not focused on women prison, but I think it shouldn't delete necessary items like play mat etc.

It's incredibly cool! I am glad that such a person has appeared in this small community of modders! The mod is wonderful!

Would be cooler if you made the orderly's uniform look like the old-fashion.
You know, the all white uniform.
