📋 About This Mod

Removes the population requirements need to move in to a house, works for story mode or breakdown.Optional files to increase the resources cap on all homes and reduce costs to move in to homes.

A VERY NON INTRUSIVE MOD:

the whole mod is just some files in your game folder and it does not

touch any original game files. so your game will not break at all.

You want to revert changes it's easy, check uninstallation.

Also every file is carefully cross referenced with the original file and changes

only the things i mention and nothing else.

To check for compatibility with other mods: The files that this mod adds are called homesitelimits.xml and homesitelimits.win.bmd.

For Breakdown or Story mode!

Install Use vortex!

Or manually install by extracting the 7zip file to your base state of decay folder.

To Uninstall Use vortex again!

Or manually uninstall:

For Story Mode version: just look for game/libs/class3\rts and delete the homesitelimits.xml and homesitelimits.win.bmd file and it is uninstalled

For Breakdown version: just look for game/libs/class3. 1\rts and delete the homesitelimits.xml and homesitelimits.win.bmd file and it is uninstalled

Mod comes in two versions:

No population requirements and More resources cap: these versions for breakdown or story mode remove the population requirements,

incriese the resources cap on your homesites and reduces the resources cost for moving in to homes.

No population requirements ONLY: These versions for breakdown or story mode ONLY REMOVE THE POPULATION REQUIREMENTS.

It does absolutely nothing else, leaves the files as vanilla(untouched) as possible.

Further details:

The mod should be compatible with any version of state of decay. including yose but the older one as well.

But it's possible something incredible has changed about homesites between the old version and YOSE versions of the game

that might make the older versions of the game break. I doubt it tho.

Similar mods had done this already, the point of me making this mod is that it only touches 1 file the homesitelimits.win.bmd

and that it does not do extra things it is just for removing the population requirements to move in if you want it

or remove pop requirements and increase the resources cap on homes.

Also this mod has a version for the Story Mode which the mod YOSE fewer restrictions by Kolobian does not have.

This mod goes well with my other mod:

Even More Improved Facilities Made compatible with Breakdown YOSE by me.

In this update to  Xaliber13's mod i don't include the homesitelimits.xml that changes the resources.

So in trade you can use this mod with the one you are viewing now to get both features going.

Mod also goes well with Unlock Gurubani Kaur-Breakdown with optional 0 cost to hire people by me

This mod besides unlocking Gurubani Kaur has an optional version to reduce hire costs to 0 another feature featured in the mod YOSE fewer restrictions by Kolobian

So if you don't know how to mod things yourself or just don't want all the extra stuff you can use this mod to reduce hiring costs to 0 as well.

Similar mod that does this but also does other things:

YOSE fewer restrictions by Kolobian (this mod is just for breakdown by the way and does more than just reduce the population requirement)

Even More Improved Facilities YOSE - Upgrade and Remove Built-In Facilities by Xaliber13 (this one also increases the storage capacity besides other things

And noted it is not for Breakdown.)
