📋 About This Mod

Ship too slow? This simple QoL mod betters the game's travel times, lowering costs and wasted days! A must for those seeking a game experience with less grind. It's a small edit of the SimGameConstants.json file that works in either mode, career or story. It should run fine with the larger mod packs... Let me know in the comments!

How to Install / Requirements

1. It uses ModTek. Once that's installed, just extract my mod to the game's 'mods' folder.

It runs fine on my heavily modded vanilla game (version 1. 9.x) and can be added safely during a playthru!

Special Thanks

- To HBS, for the great game!

- To the modding community, for making the game even better!

- And to OrbPlaytime, whose helpful commments in a Steam discussion directed me on what values to change.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if the mod requires a mod manager or manual installation—since it's a simple QoL mod, it's likely a drop-in file, but verify the mod page for instructions.
  • If you're playing on a version newer than May 2022, test the mod early to ensure it doesn't break with recent updates.
  • Consider pairing this with other QoL mods to enhance your overall experience, but be mindful of potential conflicts.
