Thinking of making advanced modding guides, what do people want to know?
I enjoy making mods for this game, both for personal use and shared on the workshop. Some might say I have spent way too much time doing so. But I love the art style and the simplistic coding and even the limitations. I am curious what others may be interested in knowing as far as advanced modding goes. I have learned a lot but there is still plenty I don't know. But I would like to share my knowledge. If you have something specific in mind that you want to mod or know if you can mod, just ask. Also modding ideas are always appreciated.

The modding platform for this game is very limited, but not as much as you might think. I have made custom animations, npcs, I have altered my game files to make custom archetypes etc (sadly some of these mods are not sharable on the workshop, sorry). It has been fun because the settings are easy to manipulate with the given variables. I am thinking of trying to write some of this out in guides, but not sure as there is a lot of information. It would take forever to tell you everything there is to know about every detail. So to narrow it down, what is everyone interested in modding? Are you thinking of modding something specific and not sure how? Are you wanting to know what your options are when you are adding heatmaps or path types or bordertypes for your room? Are you wondering how to add animated backgrounds or elements to your mods? Let me know and I may make a guide or answer your questions.

Some examples of some of ridiculous mods I have made just for myself: Orphanage with 5 kids and 1 stay at home parent (not sharable, sorry). Custom animations such as swimming etc. (plan on using this at some point), Teleporters instead of elevators. A gorilla mod - literally just an office with nothing but gorilla npcs.....and yes they roam around the tower and go on lunch breaks. lol. They are hard workers, those gorillas.

Let me know what you guys think or if there is an interest in this at all. Thanks.

Disclaimer: Some advanced modding can break your game and should be used with caution :) Always make backups.

I have some really random ones that I never released on the workshop either. I also have plenty of art assets that I made, but couldn't get the coding part to work (I have an entire gourmet Greek Restaurant that I couldn't release because the code wouldn't work). I have no interest in the scripting side, but if you ever wanna collab and take the art I've made and turn it into mods, let me know :)

I am glad I am not the only one! I love your artwork. I would love to work together anytime.

Hey, I was wondering if you already have a mod that adds rotated (for the right edge of the building) awning for a hotel.

Ooooh great idea. Thanks, I'll look into it.

update: So this was a very easy mod. For anyone curious, I just flipped the original layout images using the hflip variable and moved the animation layer over a bit. I added doors to make the perspective a little better. Then I changed the left side requirement to a right side one.

original left-side req:
{ #type anchored-side size { x 1 y 2 } start { x 2 y 0 } }

changed to a right-side req:
{ #type anchored-side size { x 1 y2 } start { x 0 y 0 } }


Here is the mod: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1684010985

A little late to this discussion, but just bought the game and very new to modding! If you're still planning on making a guide, I would love to know how to, or a template to build larger retail/restaurants if possible please!

Is it possible to create scenarios?

I'd be interested in a listing of things like sprites that are called out by number in the coding.

I'd also be interested to know where the original game graphics are hiding so that I could change background colors of things like apartments without it counting against my 50 mod limit. =/

I'd love to better understand how to add animations in the background or foreground.

I would be curious, if it's possible to use animation at assets, and if so, which file formats are supported.

I know I'm way late to the party here, but I could really use help making animated decos at minimum. It would be lovely to learn to make a special NPC and to make my deco coffee machine actually function as a vending machine. A long-term goal is also to make a new restaurant type of "food stand" that could be functional on a lobby layer so I could do a hot dog stand, lemonade, flowers, etc. <3
