Demographic Tweaks
For reasons of historical accuracy, immersion, or otherwise– Many have griped in the past that they didn’t like that 50% or more of the armed goons running around are women. No longer!
In addition to making all brothel employees female, each faction has been individually tweaked to try and make a little more sense in context of the times. But if you don’t like the defaults I provide, you can tweak the values yourself! Want to remove women entirely? Or play as an all women gang? You can also specify demographics by class– so you can make some doctors women but leave all the enforcers as men. This also affects race to certain degree– so you can make the Vice Kings or Card Sharks all black, or Hip Sing Tong all Asian if that fits best for you.
Instructions on how to tweak ratios: (Windows)
1. Launch the game with the mod
2. go to %appdata%..LocalLowRomeroGamesEmpireOfSinModsCacheDemographicTweaksRaw~LuaScriptsFactions
3. Open the faction you want to edit in a text editor
4. Use Control-F or similar to locate the text "CONFIGURE"
5. This should direct you to a marked off area in the code with further instructions.
6. Launch the game again and start a new save. Enjoy!
Note: If you swap to a different mod playlist that doesn’t have this mod, launch the game, and switch back– your tweaks will be overwritten with my defaults again. If you are swapping mods around a lot and are worried about losing your tweaks, I suggest backing up a copy of the numbers somewhere. This is escpecially important when you consider that changing the numbers mid-campaign may cause a crash when loading the save. (The save should be intact still but you’ll need the right numbers to load it properly again) So don’t tweak these mid-run!
Incompatabilities/Issues:
1. In it’s current state it will be incompatable with any other mod changing the factions via file aliasing. Whichever mod is last in load order will get priority, the other(s) will be ignored. If you author a mod that is incompatible, feel free to contact me and we may be able to work together to fix that.
2. Loading a save game created BEFORE installing this mod will likely fail– however, playing a save that you started with this mod, AFTER uninstalling this mod should work. I’m afraid that a similar problem may occur if/when I update this mod. You may need a new save when you update.
I will denote this in the change notes for the update.
Ideal future plans:
1. Integrate this with a config file that allows players to easily tweak it to their desired ratios
— DONE!
2. Resolve above incompatabilities
3. Adjust gender ratios of brothel employees — Done, made all brothel employees female.
4. Add support for murder inc and fixers (Might have to be a separate mod as some people don’t have DLC)
5. Add support for police
6. Add support for minor factions
