Description:
BizSuite

Notes, calculator, calendar, and spreadsheets for Big Ambitions — one mod, four tools.

Running multiple businesses gets messy fast. BizSuite keeps your plans, numbers, schedule, and spreadsheets in-game so you don’t need a second monitor or a notebook on your desk.

BizNotes
  • General notes — empire-wide reminders, plans, and scratch space
  • Per-business notes — separate notes for every store you own
  • Rich text — bold, italic, underline, sizes, and colors on selected text
  • To-do lists — per-note checklists that save with your game
  • Quick access — BizSuite launcher in BizMan, phone app, and configurable hotkey
  • Click-through mode — optional setting so clicks pass through to the game behind the window

BizCalc
  • In-game calculator for margins, bulk orders, and quick math
  • Keyboard-friendly — type numbers and operators directly
  • Copy result to clipboard
  • Opens from the phone, BizSuite launcher, or shortcuts in other apps

BizCalendar

A week-at-a-time view built around how the game actually runs.

  • 7-day grid — sales, stock health, and upcoming events on each day
  • Stock health — Healthy / Low / Out counts (office stock excluded)
  • Filters — all businesses, one business type, or a single location
  • Scheduled events — wholesale/import deliveries, furnishing deliveries, interior installs, tax dates, recruiting deadlines, and more
  • Hover detail — per-day breakdown with per-business sales and stock lines; pin the panel to keep it open
  • Historical archive — past days keep sales and stock snapshots so you can review trends after reload
  • Works with your custom year length — respects your game’s days-per-year setting

BizSheets

An Excel-style spreadsheet without leaving the game.

  • Formulas — =A1+B2, SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX, COUNT, IF, CONCAT, VLOOKUP, and more
  • Multiple tabs — add, rename, duplicate, and manage sheets per workbook
  • General + per-business — separate spreadsheets for your empire and each store
  • Formatting — fonts, colors, alignment, borders, merge/unmerge cells
  • Fill handle — drag to copy values, formats, and merged regions; double-click to auto-fill down
  • Copy/paste/cut — includes merge regions, not just cell text
  • Undo/redo — plus standard Ctrl shortcuts
  • Insert/delete rows & columns, resize columns and rows, frozen headers
  • CSV import/export for sharing data outside the game
  • Formula tools — live preview while typing, click cells to insert references

Use them together

Open Notes, Calc, Calendar, and BizSheets side by side. Drag any window by its title bar. Jump between apps from each title bar, or pick your app from the BizSuite launcher on the BizMan business page.

How to open
  • Phone — BizNotes, BizCalc, BizCalendar, and BizSheets apps on your smartphone
  • BizMan — BizSuite button while viewing a business (opens the app picker)
  • Hotkey — toggle general notes (default: ; — change in mod settings)

Settings

In the game mod options menu:

  • Notes toggle hotkey
  • Default click-through for notes (on or off)

Save data & migration

All app data is stored per save under your mod data folder. If you used the old BizNotes or standalone BizSpreadsheet mod, BizSuite migrates your data automatically on first load.

Notes
  • Requires the official Big Ambitions modding API / mod loader
  • Single-player; data is local to your save
  • Does not modify game balance or add cheats

Questions, bugs, and ideas welcome in the discussion thread.
