D4 Rebalanced

Description
Tired of being unpopular after fixing crime? Exhausted because the people in your country don't care that their standard of living increased? Dreading to get 90% of the votes? WELL I AM! So I made this mod to hopefully rebalance some issues I have with the game, especially since I haven't seen any mod of its type here.

----------Changes-------------------


(I must admit that most of these changes were eyeballed by me with my limited knowledge in politics, and that this was only a one afternoon project. However I did tested it a bit and difficult starts seemed to be more fair without making it easy. Although easy starts such as the US were still a breeze, so I didn't manage to polarize the population as much as I wanted.)

Conservatives, Liberals, Socialists, Capitalists, Religious and Patriot groups have more militancy and activism.
The middle class has slightly less activism and militancy.

Crime has a MASSIVE effect on everyone.
Unemployment has a massive effect on everyone, and especially the poor and middle class.
Wages have a large effect on the low and middle class.
Inflation has a large effect on everyone.

Capitalists like it when industries are privatized.
Capitalists get a massive boost from low wages.
Capitalists like high worker productivity.

Shorter work weeks don't affect productivity negatively, and in fact it increases it. As well as mental health. And this is backed by multiple studies.
Long work weeks also affect mental health.
Capitalists likes longer work weeks.

Low and Middle class are affected by food prices, with the former having a more drastic effect.

Conservatives care about Immigration and particularly Illegal Immigration. (Let's be honest, this having no effect was one of the most unrealistic choices.)

Health has an effect on everyone. (No matter how much I try it was impossible for me to make it so low health gave everyone a negative effect despite this being something that I accomplished with private industries. So I have no idea why it worked for some simulations but not this one.)

Hey, if you're not going to ever fix this, do you mind if I make it for you? I'll give you credit for the idea

mod is broken, has a -100% opinion malus immediately when you turn it on

I found several issues, some things didnt even have names, and those unamed things were maxed out, and the everyone opinion was at 0.
I tried with Germany, Turkey and a very poor country

Which countries were you guys playing on? Because I really didn't change anything that should affect anything but the popularity, so I would need to check what could be messing up with it.

The UBI is a good idea, although I don't think it can't alleviate the unemployement malus. However it could be buffed.
Idea is really good but you can't change anything. Education doesn't rise. Crime never goes lower and especially unemployment is stuck and full.

Please fix the mod and it will be much better because even in the worst scenarios I'm getting %90 percent of vote

Hey Dreigous,

I got the same issue as Unclaimed did, i disabled all the other mods I was using and it still messed up the unemployment rate.

I think raising the negative consequences of unemployment make sense,
but I think these negative consequences should be alleviated by the unemployment benefits

and secondly, as the game narratively advance and the industrial automation gets further and further, increasing unemployment, it makes sense that it worsens things if no action is taken.

But, I think giving people compensation (as the resources are now produced by machines) should remove these unemployment maluses. For me, I think it should be added to the universal basic income policy (when it's high) as it makes being unemployed not an issue anymore (I would also make it reduce the luddite riots)

Basically, I think max UBI should remove the negative consequences of umemployment (and luddite riots)

Ok i figured it out, it was another mod i was using that was conflicting with this one.
Unclaimed 10 Nov, 2023 @ 5:29am 
it might have been an issue with the other mods i was using, but the unemployment value was 100%
