Early Retirement Option - All Endings Accessible!

Description
Do you ever miss the early days of your Isaac save file, when winning a run was a bit simpler? Or maybe you've been having a particularly difficult run today, and would just prefer to end on a positive note after struggling to beat The Womb, instead of soldiering on and dying to Satan? This mod will bring some greater flexibility to your journeys into the basement!

Whenever you beat an ex-final boss (Mom, It Lives!, Hush, Isaac, or Satan) and are able to continue to the next floor, a ladder will appear at the top right corner of the room (or if you're playing Afterbirth+, a trophy will appear). Touch this ladder, and you will be transported up to Isaac's room, where the following awaits you:

  • A donation machine for making use of your leftover money. If you've destroyed or jammed the donation machine already, it will be repaired here. If you climb the ladder after Mom or It Lives!, the machine will have its usual chance to jam, but if you climb it after beating Hush, Satan or Isaac, the machine will be unjammable!
  • An ending chest. Jump into it to end your run with the floor-appropriate cutscene!
  • A different reward depending on the stage you last completed!

Notes
  • WARNING: The trip to Isaac's room is one-way only, so don't touch the ladder/trophy unless you're sure you want to end the run!
  • A side effect of the changes is that if you view the "Credits" ending from the main menu, it will play a cutscene first. If you want to watch the credits on their own, please disable the mod first.
  • The early retirement ladder/trophy will still appear during victory laps, seeded runs, and reruns, but the Donation Machine and the rewards will not be available.
  • In Isaac's room, you will not be able to use your active items, your cards and pills will be taken away, and you will be invulnerable.

Okay, now it's fixed!

Let me resubscribe, cuz I can't see the fix yet.

@ Fanrail : Thanks so much for telling me about this! Looks like those subtitle references were added since this mod came out, and I didn't know. It should be good now.

This disables subtitles in prologue and epilogue

Cool mod until you accidentally waltz into mom's ladder with 3 quality 4 items :DSTskull:

@ skull : Ah, that's a bit of a shame. I know you're thinking it's quantity, but if there are any mods in particular which seem to be having the compatibility issues, let me know and I'll see if there's a way I can work around them.

Fair warning, if you play with a lot of other mods this one likes to crash the game if you touch the ladder

@LoganPlay
?? in what way is this a cheat mod? Is it cheating to go 'I dont wanna continue on with this run' or 'I dont have time to play through more floors to the end'?
Is it cheating to have the ability to end a run prematurely without just exiting and starting a new one?
