Auto Level 1 Growables

Description
Ensures that all growable buildings placed with mods like Ploppable RICO Revisited or Plop the Growables automatically start at Level 1 which allows them to grow naturally based on their surroundings.

Custom assets like growable buildings from the Steam Workshop can sometimes have higher levels when plopped with the above tools. This can lead to:
  • Unbalanced gameplay for natural cities
  • Missing services / land value issues
  • Broken education and workforce demands
This mod ensures that all buildings always start as a Level 1 building and can naturally grow depending on the services around it.

Find the source code here: https://github.com/patrickscheper/autolevel1growables/.



Technical Notes:
  • The mod checks for new buildings being placed and resets their level to 1.
  • Works with all custom RICO assets.
  • Lightweight and safe to use with other mods such as Ploppable RICO Revisited or Plop the Growables automatically start at Level 1.
  • No known incompatibilities.

(Assets from the screenshot can be found in this amazing American Rowhouse collection by Smilies!)

Since this is my first mod I'd advise to backup your save before trying and reach out if you run into any issues below!

Good to know but unfortunate for you... GL!

After some testing I found out it's not caused by this mod or anything, I just can't get any RICO buildings (with rico mod only) to level up :/

In that case I'd suggest to reach out to the mod creators of Ploppable RICO. Does it only happen with this mod installed + Ploppable RICO? If so, I can try to check why and add it as a known issue!

Yup, i made sure that wasn't checked

Happy to hear it's useful for other people! There is an option in the "Ploppable RICO Revisited" mod that automatically locks the building level of plopped growables. I'd check that first.

Amazing, just as I was looking for something like this!

Any idea why buildings that have any RICO settings stay on lvl 1 and don't want to level up? No matter what level I set them in RICO, they will always stay on 1...

Unless I misunderstood your question the mod will make all growables level 1 regardless of district s or district styles. Or are you asking if you could only designated a specific district where the mod would apply?

@overprikkeld Will give it a try. Just one more question. Is it possible to for a mod to make all of downloaded growables level 1 in case I want to use district themes?

This mod will be pretty useful! Downloading!

Appreciate it! No known incompatibilities as far as I've tested. However I'd suggest to ensure backing up your save before using the mod. The only concern I might have is if there's a non-growable building / asset that would behave differently when setting its building level.
