Functioning market stalls (light version)
Functions exactly the same as the main version, the difference being that only 1-3 market stall traders in every city have items and money, the rest will have one random item and less than 100 cats. Only Market stalls with items will have trade signs on them, and some of their items will light up when pressing “alt”. I would recommend this version to those who want to own market stalls in cities because this removes competition.
I have made custom collisions for every market stall and now it is possible to decorate them without using the editor. You can not place items on every shelf, but there are many places on every stall that allow item placement. (Complex collisions impact performance, so I tried to make collisions that were as simple as possible while allowing item placement in many places.)
Build the “counter chest” before the decorations, it needs more space than its size suggests due to “use nodes” and can be a little finicky to place.
This mod replaces most of the Market Stalls in game with functioning ones. They have their own traders, vendor lists and items on display.
You can buy and build your own market stalls, and decorate them. You need to research public sales to make them function.
People will walk up to market stalls and trade with them, like any other normal store.
Traders at the market stalls will adapt to different world states, like city is destroyed, malnourished, or taken over by a different faction.
Places that didn’t have market stall before, have them now. I tried to place them in logical locations and not to overdo it.
There will be 1 market stall trader in major cities, that buys illegal and stolen stuff. (You will still be caught if those things are stolen in the same city from the same faction)
While replacing market stalls I have also fixed some clipping issues in cities, tried not to overdo it so that this won’t conflict with other mods to much.
After researching public sales you will have 2 sub menus in your building menu: Market stalls, and market stall decorations. The first one has every market stall you can build and a chest you need to place on them for them to actually function. The second one has items you can place on your stalls to decorate them.
Buy or build a stall, after that build “Small chest counter” on your stall (this part is a little bit finicky but the chest is placeable on every stall, you just have to rotate it a bit. You can’t build decorations near the chest, it is small but the game doesn’t allow building of other items right next to it due to “use nodes”, they are needed). Decorate your stalls however you want.
Try to put the chest somewhere near the front of the stall, because NPCs trying to buy from you will go to the chest.
1.Start your game without this mod, and go somewhere empty, (the most important thing here is to be somewhere, where no areas with market stalls are loaded, which are most towns villages and bases.)
2. Save your game and exit.
3.Start the game with the mod and load your save.
If you haven’t followed this procedure and now have an area with double market stalls, you will probably have to import or follow this procedure with a save file that never had my mod in it.
Note that if you have done some terrain or building editing in areas with market stalls through shift+f12, and saved that. Than you will probably have to import, this depends on what leveldata your game saved into your save file.
If you are using other mods that contain leveldata (they edit buildings in towns or add new ones) you should generally load my mod after them. That is because this mod not only moves buildings around but deletes old market stalls and they will generally reappear (often right in the middle of the new stalls) if you load another mod (that edits leveldata in the same locations) after my one.
Load Reactive World after this mod to avoid compatibility issues.
If you are using Cities Rebalanced mod, use this compatibility patch made by Sheriff

Loading one mod after another is very easy, every time you load your game you are shown all the mods you have and their load order. In that same menu you can use arrows to change the load order.
-NPCs will walk up to the market stalls and trade with them even after closing hours.
-Sometimes you might have to bump in to traders to be able to talk to them.
