Description
OMG YOU STREAM ON TWITCH NOW???

Yes, the wait is finally over. I know you've all been anticipating this moment for most of your lives but it's finally here. I've started streaming on twitch. I know, I know, calm your bits. Deep breaths. I'm sure you can hardly contain your excitement so why don't you give me a follow so you don't miss it the next time I go live.

Mod Description:

note: There is an error with updating this mod currently which I cannot explain or fix, in the meantime please download from the link below. You will probably have to also subscribe for the text file that identifies the mod for your game to load it properly. Once you have the folder from dropbox in your democracy 3 folder and are subscribed, change the folders name to 'Overhaul Pack'

Link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7g2f9tvyxdlbu6h/AABmq1y5_tReoXMhXTGIh8dfa?dl=0
Old Version Link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ctzv4iu5au0fma7/AACo56MyIUqU3C5ENnPg29M9a?dl=0


EDIT: new content has been added and the list below is no longer up to date. There is more.

The long-awaited Overhaul Pack is finally here! Enjoy new policies, situations, simulations, events, and dilemmas. All of my previous mods are included in this pack, so if you use any of my other mods you will have to disable them. YOU NEED THE FIRST 3 DLC'S TO USE THIS MOD (Social Engineering, Extremism, Clones and Drones). Still crashing? Then you have a conflicting mod enabled. Still crashing? Try disabling all mods (including DLC), then enable the DLC and the other mods. (The order you enable mods can affect compatibility between mods)

I recommend using the 'randomized start' option.

Current version: 8

Policies:
Fair Trade - Trade Audits - Global Economy Bailout Fund - Oil Regulations - Coal Regulations - Natural Gas - Regulations - Coal Subsidies - Natural Gas Subsidies - Public Campaign Financing - Stock Transfer Tax - Black Ops - Election Laws - Lobbying Restrictions - Central Intelligence Services

Situations:
Trade Fraud - Free Trade - Defense Lobby - Oil Lobby - Coal Lobby - Natural Gas Lobby - Agricutlure Lobby - Health Industry Lobby - Auto Industry Lobby - Commerce Lobby - Wall Street Lobbyists - Meat and Dairy Lobby - Religious Lobby - Airline Lobby - Environmental Lobby - Civil Rights Lobby - Human Rights Lobby - Real Estate Crash - Political Corruption - Political Gridlock - Abusive Police - Progressive Paradise - Fascism - Libertarian Paradise - Anarchy - Military Coup - Party Revolt - Self-Employed Economy - Golden Age - Credit Crunch - Mortgage Crisis - Mass Foreclosures - No New Mortgages - Immigration Wave - Capitalist Culture, Socialist Culture etc (for 7 different voter groups) - Consumer Culture - Apathetic Culture - Handout Culture

Simulations:
Disposable Income - Consumption - APS (Average Propensity to Save) - Stock Investment - Stock Market - House Prices - Mortgages - Bank Profits - Investment Bank Profits - Apathy

There are also a few hidden simulations:
Lobbyist Power - Values Scale - State Control - Security - Oversight Scale - Private Debt - Volitability - Housing - Bank Health - Investment Bank Health - Mortgage Health - Social Mobility

Events:
Stock Market Crash - Bank Failure - Investment Bank Failure - Capitalist Wave, Socialist Wave, etc (for 7 different voter groups) - Free Lunch - Consumerism - Immigration Wave

Dilemmas:
Bribery
Contribution Limits

Countries:
UK (The one on the right, I just made this quickly to better simulate UK politics for UK players)

Other Changes:
Brain Drain has been revamped from the ground up
A trickle up/down wage mechanic
The "Year" effects for most situations have been removed to allow long term play
The relationships between Crime, Violent Crime, and Organized Crime have been redesigned
The relationships between Low Earnings, Poverty, and Equality have been redesigned
A bunch of tiny little things you probably won't even notice (for balance reasons)

Please note: If you're trying to make certain situations like Fascism appear you just need to push your country in extreme directions. The hidden simulations will keep track of the direction you're pushing it and once you get past a certain threshold you'll see the situation pop up. I don't really recommend you do this unless you're planning a long game. Bringing your country into a new form of government is fairly extreme, so you'll want to ease into it over time.

Ah I've found the issue. I'v accidentally disabled the Social Engineering DLC while disabling my other mods. Thanks for the work on this mod. It's easily the best mod for this game.

@ghosty I've never heard of this before... The only thing I can think of is that you somehow modified the games main 'mission' files for the other countries. My mod doesn't modify those files, it just adds a new one, the uk - overhaul pack that you were able to get working.

@Ashai I'm not sure what you mean haha yes it's ok to use. There should be a much older version on the democracy 3 website if you can't get the dropbox version working.

The new feature I'm most excited about is a hidden early game stabilizer for GDP. Essentially, your GDP will curve toward 50% when the game is loading and once you start playing it slowly wears off for the first few turns. This way if you use the 'randomize start' setting you wont be totally screwed over by an almost unwinnable starting scenario.

@Labargoth sounds like you're missing the extremism or social engineering DLC, I forget which one that policy is from.

But I'm considering updating this mod again soon, I have been quietly working on it here and there and I feel like it's ready to go. Hopefully the steam workshop upload feature works for me this time and you guys wont have to get it through dropbox anymore (but I'll leave it there if anyone still wants the older version).

Mod seems to be broken. I applied the manual update as per description, but whenever I try to start a game with only this mod (and the DLC) active, I get an error message saying "Failed to find NationalArmedForcesWeek for C s e c,:..\..\..\src\SIM_Neuron.cpp 356" and then the game closes.

is this ok to use?

Mod crashes on every other country other than the "Overhaul Pack UK" country. Only using the first three DLC and "Overhaul Pack."

However, playing the included "Overhaul Pack United Kingdom" has the mod playing fine. Is this supposed to happen?
