📋 About This Mod
----------------------------------------------------------
POPULATION DENSITY
----------------------------------------------------------
(Game Update 16 ready)
(Affect: Old World, New World, Arctic, Enbesa residences,Tourist Hotels and Skyscrapers)
A simple mod to adjust the population density and consumption of goods from the different tiers of residents.
Improved and updated from the previous work of Callesen58.
This mod is Save-Game compatible too but keep in mind that it can F@& up your good consumption upon installation.\
Also compatible with Spice it Up.
To add more flexibility towards the consumption of goods and the population density, the mod is now split into two sub-modules:
-
[]The Population Density module which increases the number of residents per house by the modifier (x2. 0, x4. 0, ...).
[
]The Consumption module which increases or decreases the consumption of goods.
The new mod format is also much clearer with much less unnecessary entries. It is now easier for you to edit the values.
Please note:
Make sure you have ONLY one (1) of each module enabled at a time.
To enable the one you want, remove the '-' at the beginning of the filename, and disable the others by adding '-' in the filename, e.g.:
- Population Density x5. 0 #Disabled mod
Population Density x2. 0 #Enabled mod
- Population Density x2. 0 #Disabled mod
Consumption x0. 5 #Enabled mod
