Three Strikes Program and Flower Therapy Fix (READ INSTRUCTIONS)

Description
Fixes a bug where the Three Strikes Program (Second Chances DLC) and Flower Therapy (Going Green DLC) have very low pass rates/high failure rates, because they do not save prisoners' progress between sessions. This fix makes these programs save prisoners' progress without affecting program difficulty otherwise. Prisoners will now need one chair per participant for Three Strikes Program (most types of vanilla chairs should be allowed), even if they will not sit because they can't relax in front of the Chief. Prisoners will also now need one flower plant per participant for Flower Therapy.

THIS MOD DOES NOT WORK IF YOU ONLY PRESS SUBSCRIBE. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:

1. Press Subscribe and start the game to download the mod
2. Open Windows Explorer and enable viewing of hidden files (look up how to do this on your system, as every system is different)
3. Go to C:\Users\(Your PC Name)\AppData\Local\Introversion\Prison Architect\mods
4. Open this mod's folder '-836532544'
5. Open the 'data' folder
6. Copy 'reform_programs_dlc.txt'
7. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Prison Architect
8. Create a new folder named 'data'
9. Open the new 'data' folder and paste 'reform_programs_dlc.txt' into it
10. Restart your game and check that the Three Strikes Program and Flower Therapy program require chairs and plants respectively (see screenshots)

If you've done the above but you've changed your mind and want to uninstall this mod, the ONLY method of uninstalling this mod is to find the 'data' folder which you created and delete it. PRESSING UNSUBSCRIBE WILL NOT UNINSTALL THIS MOD. DELETING MODS MANUALLY WILL NOT DELETE THIS MOD.

Q: Why does this mod need instructions?
A: Normal mods can't overwrite existing reform programs, only make new reform programs (unlike rooms and objects, which can be overwritten). But this fix needs to overwrite the existing Three Strikes Program and Flower Therapy. If you have trouble understanding the instructions, look for a tutorial or video about computer file paths, which is useful for dealing with computers in general.

Q: Will your instructions install viruses?
A: No.

Not compatible with Always Pass Reform Programs or any other mod which uses the same method to overwrite existing reform programs. May or may not be compatible with mods which add new reform programs.

The mod folder which is published has the same structure as normal mods.

Hello my friend, how did you manage to publish your mod in the prison architect's workshop?
