@Numenor Once again, just, thank you!!! With the dumpster fire that is Civ 7, I've returned to 5 for my addiction. Your mods really help make it enjoyable, and out-dated scenarios of the original game prior to the DLC "winnable." If you ever think of making mods for Civ 5 again, know there's many of us who appreciate you. Civ 5 - still very popular, and now, many re-visiting.

@dondrakis I am nearly 6 years late, but just answering for anyone else who also has the issue of the mod not being applied on a save game reload.

You have to go into the mod menu, press next, and load your save via the special mod load menu. You can't just load your save from the main menu.

Working great in 2025. Essential for the "Mongolian Deluxe" scenario by JD because, without it, winning is pretty impossible. (And it's still pretty danged hard even with this mod!) Ty mate!

Dont listen to the comments, this mod works fine. 100% recommend, great mod.

is it possible to remove the limit of only 1 happiness per population from cities?

Not working.

i never understood this feature so nice

Hey guys, i'm quite new at using mods, it worked perfectly for me, but when next day i loaded saved game, i started to get population unhappiness again. I checked and mode was still on, so not sure what i'm doing wrong? any advice? :)

I want a cookie...

Nice mod. Could be very useful for when you want a more expansionist game. Do you know if it affects how the AI expands?

Thanks for the mod!

Needs an update, I still gain unhappiness with this mod, along with all of your other mods. It seems Civ V got a sneaky patch at some point. Thanks!

While I would say the vanila game penalises you to much for trying to play the wide/large empire making it near worthless to even try, this mod if it only eliminated about 60-70% of the unhappiness gained would be more balenced. Still use it so best not complain as its better then nothing for allowing the re-establishment of the U.S.S.R my comrades

hey! where is my cookie

this mod makes the game too easy

hello again @Numenor it seems that the mod is working again, i just had to uninstall it then activate as the last mod in my list and the mod is working, i keep notes of your responses you've sent to me, i thank you again for your help.

You can write the code into Notepad++ if you want though I would recommend using the Civ 5 SDK tool cause it can properly package the with the right settings and info.

Though if you insist on doing this purely with Notepad++ you can find your mods in this directory

C:\Users\I[insert your user account]\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\

And look at how to set up the .modinfo file so it shows in the game.

@[-ۣۜPıέяяє-] you can download the Civ 5 SDK tool on steam, click on your library tab, and click on tools.

To find out what values and their names you will want to go open up the .xml files located in this directory.

Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\Gameplay\XML

After find out what value you want to mod, all you need to do is plug in the right values into my sample code here.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GameData>
<Defines>
<Update>
<Set Value="0"/>
<Where Name="UNHAPPINESS_PER_CITY"/>
</Update>
</Defines>
</GameData>

Hello @Numenor it's been a while i wanted to ask you, the mod doesn't seem to work i still have unhappiness from Population, i wanted to know where do i find the "code" with Notepad++. I thank you for your help :)

I have no idea. I don't have a Mac.

does this work with mac

If you answer no to any of these questions, then that might be the problem. If not I honestly don't know other than making sure the mod is actually download and installed properly by following the directions in the description via using http://steamworkshopdownloader.com/ .

1. Have you tried disabling any other mods (that could potentially override this mod)?
2. Did you start a new game when enabling this mod?

my mod says that it is activated, but there is still unhappiness generated by population. Any ideas as to how I can fix it?

I LOVE THAT PICTURE

@Meu Óculos de Pau are you using any other mods with this mod?

@leobeo your laptop has a monitor doesn't it?

that picture

What if you only have a laptop? (Joke)
Anyway, Seluki (blessings) from Wolcottia!

@[-ۣۜPıέяяє-]

It's just a way for the game to don't let you expand too much and take over the world very easily.

@Numenor
The mod isn't working for me. It's installed and activated, but there's still unhappiness generated by pop.

@Numenor
Yeah it's some conflict but I might screw up my save if I try to figure out what mod is causing it

And on top of the base unhappiness, there's still an occupied unhappiness for population. Like one for regular population, and another for occupied population.

If you don't want to try to re-teach yourself the game and stuff I should be able to just counter the unhappiness by getting all your happiness cheat mods, but it won't be the same

Thanks for the response

@Papa Sanders its probably a mod conflict between your other mods.

This mod doesn't change anything in how buildings work. So this mod isn't the one that causes the conflict.

And I already made a mod that removes the flat -5 unhappiness from occupied cities. Unless that is not the right unhappiness modifer that you're talking about... I haven't played this game in 3 years so if that isn't the right when you're talking about then I ll see what I can do.

I'm playing with a lot of mods, and for some strange reason there must be some mod conflict that basically makes it so I can't build Courthouses. At all. I can start building them but once they're supposed to finish nothing happens and you have to build it again. Same with money, I can spend the money to buy one but nothing happens.

I don't want to spend the time to figure out what is causing the issue, especially since I'm in the middle of a really fun game (with 3 occupied cities)

So I was wondering, if it's easy for you, to make a mod that takes away occupied unhappiness. If you don't want to or don't have the time I understand, but I'd really appreciate it.

@Numenor oh i see i've never things in this angle thanks for enlighting me on that.

@[-ۣۜPıέяяє-]

Well I have no official statement for why they get unhappy in the game...

But logically people get unhappy in real life when there are a lot of people for various reasons.

1. Population density, they just might be overcrowed.

2. The more people there are the more likely differing and conflicting ideas arises, thus political unrest.

3. Simply the lack of commodities, who knows... maybe not enough food, shelter, clothes, or maybe there might not be enough beach front property for all of them. So entitlement issues.

4. Maybe simply sanitation problems?

5. Too many smelly people?

hey @Numenor Thanks for this mod i never quite understood why the people get unhappy because of the number of people.

@Numenor Thanks!

@Stiflex_ I don't play CIV5 much and never had any mod download problems with it yet but I do often have download issues with other games like LFD2 and CK2, so download issue is usually an issue with the steamworkshop on steams end.

Someone else kindly posted these instructions for this work around in one of my other mods comments, see if this works for you.

1. Copy this pages URL
2. go here: http://steamworkshopdownloader.com/
3. Download a hard copy of the file
4. Go to "Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization V/MODS" and paste it in there

The mod doesn't show up in my list for some reason, I've tried re-downloading it a few times, I also downloaded a few other mods and they all seem to work fine apart from this one.

@BlueBossGamer

Then I am sorry don't know what to tell you. I use all of my own mods and only one other mod... they never failed to reload before... so I am not saying it isn't happening, I just don't have any exprience or idea how or why it happens.

I rarely every play Civ5 I am sorry that I couldn't of been more help. Maybe ask around on the steam community or Reddit?

yes i did it through the mod menu i also use the no city unhappiness mod and it works fine

@BlueBossGamer did you make sure you reloaded your game through the mod menu rather than just the normal load button.

Cause I don't know what to tell you... this mod is literally a change to one number in only one file.

If this mod doesn't work for you on a reload, then something else that is affecting your game's ability to load the file being changed.

when i reopen a game with this mod it does not work

Side note, The AI is unaffected by unhapiness. This would therefore make this more of a ballance mod.

btw great mod..
9/10 (there is no ten)

awww :( okay....

It is only a lie with that DEFEATIST ATTITUDE of yours!

te cookie is a lie ( idk why i said that, for the lulz)

TOO FREAKING EASY!!

I am glad you like the mods.

Needed it cause I'm a little bitch when it comes to this game. I now have all your mods.

g8 mod m8, i r8 8/8

thanks, i needed this
