Description:

Lets you build lots of houses that give happiness.

This mod adds 18 buildings to the game–houses that each increase a city’s Happiness by 1. Later houses cost more Maintenance and Production than earlier ones.

The first house is available from Agriculture, and then two houses become available in each era thereafter from researching two different technologies, and finally Future Tech makes the final house available.

A few days ago I was trying to think of how to solve the problems I see with Civ 5’s happiness system, when it occurred to me there’s probably a relatively simple, if not completely satisfactory, solution in just letting the player build houses that give happiness.

One way or another I think Civ 5 needs better ways to deal with happiness. I’ve only done minimal testing with this mod, and I think it’s probably overpowered, but I would very much like to hear what others think of it–maybe it’s just right? Please let me know what you think in the comments 🙂

If this mod sounds useful to you, you may enjoy my larger mod Fantastic Ancients, which brings together elements from this mod as well as most of my others and then expands far upon it all: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2827097612&searchtext=
