Wonder how it feels that your exploitative and underhanded practices blew up in your face, tanked your mod's ratings, and resulted in someone else making a better version of your mod that doesn't force people to pay. Must sting! Lmao

Umm, I installed this and now I have a "Notifications" icon on the minimap but no "Strategic" icon; I can't change to hex view any more.

Updated. Now compatible with NFP Ethiopia

This mod will be updated in a few days when I have time. Extended version already updated and fully functional.

@FearSunn, After the last civ6 update, the commemoration cannot be selected, which consequently prevents the transition from one era to another and freezes the game completely.

use this mod instead. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1752329484
Its free as all other mods.

I concur with Jason.

Don't subscribe to this mod, it will break your minimap.

This minimal version of the mod will not be supported anymore. Upgrade to extended version or look for alternatives.

Same problem as jacobbresler

This mod completely breaks the minimap and all filters around it after the latest update to the game

You don't want to pay for this?
Try this instead:

Updated (Antarctic patch). Extended version also updated.

@FearSunn - All art relies on patronage of some sort or another. Just keep doing what you are doing if that's what you need to do. Thank you for all you add to the game!

@Keshi Senpai - STEAM IS A STOREFRONT!

Update uploaded. Hotseat code edited.

So, you're saying all those plugins made for the Population Notifications mod still work w/o paying up? No, they don't. Says right here in the description. You go right ahead and report me. I don't think they'll care. They don't seem to care about you using Steam as a storefront, either.

This is a WORKING mod. It does what is stated: reliably shows notification on POPULATION change event. And it is FREE.
@Keshi your comments are misleading. Stop trolling here. Or you will be submitted to Steam admins.

Looks like he's deleting any negative comments that he can, at least. I described what he had done, but he's deleted it. Gutted the good version, made it the 'free' one, and put the working mod that actually allows the plugins behind a paywall. Five bucks to get the good version...at least till there's another game update, and he decides he needs another 5 bucks to get the updated version. It's like blackmail...they just keep hitting you again as long as you'll pay. Have a nice day.

Some users on numerous occasions expressed their willingness to donate for free mods.
Well now you have this opportunity.
This mod (population Notification Minimal) is a FREE mod and your donations are most welcome (see description for details).

Some of my mods are PRIVATE MODS. For my personal backup and for my Friends to use. You are NOT entitled to them. I am not obliged to share my mods with anyone.

Whining from a small number of naive users who believe everything should be gifted them for free will not be taken into consideration here.

please do make your own version @hahadead7777

well this explains why one mod isnt working. You took the current version, downgraded it, then locked the full version behind a paywall. Yes modders should earn money but that's through donations typically. I think there should be incentive from the devs imo. The current DLC cost of Civ 6 is $107 so probably most of the people who used your mod just like me will not be adding any more to that cost for a feature that is a simple notification. Hell I'm half tempted to make my own version just to do it. Justify it however you want but there's a reason that forcing people to pay for mods in the past has failed horribly

I won't be engaging into prolonged discussions on this matter. My stance is clear and irreversible. Take it or leave it.

I am also don't see how can I violate anything by merely adding my supporters on Patreon to my Friends list on Steam.

Give an option for a one-time fee, and I'll consider it. If there ever was one, just put it back. For now, I've also reported your mod. This seems shady at best, and is probably against Steam's and/or Firaxis's TOS.

@OZFugazi
You are right. My mods all were public (and free) for more than a year. Occasionally there was an option for PaypalMe for quite a long time. You havent noticed it. None actually have noticed it. Zero support. People feel like mods is something modders obliged to deliver to the community. No we are not.

if they are "private" then don't publish them to the open community. you have that option. you can publish your mod closed to only friends and yourself without using an open source to sell your "private" plugin mods. justify this all you want.. you have had these mods open to the "public" community since they were created and free. you have never once opted to link a donation option, which would have easily contributed more than your "20 first supporters" now all the sudden they are "private". this fight you have with justifying your greed.. oafish. oh.. and you are NOT entitled to use the steam workshop as your storefront. and of course you'll get some punters.. but you would have had more success and kept a solid rep.. with a donation option. it seems obvious you care little about that however, or the community that grew your mod to begin with.

I could only repeat: currently some of my mods are PRIVATE MODS. You are NOT entitled to them. Nevertheless I've decided to provide access to my private mods for other people through Patreon subscription. You could take this opportunity if you wish so, but you are not obliged. Nor do I obliged to share my mods with anyone.
I am currently updating all my other mods to be compatible with GS and all my updated mods will be PRIVATE.

Pay to use mods is Against TOS for Firaxis.
I will no loger be using any of your mods.

Basically I make mods for myself and a few friends I play with. This is PRIVATE MODS. You are NOT entitled to them. Nevertheless I've decided to provide access to my private mods for other people through Patreon subscription. You could take this opportunity if you wish so, but you are not obliged.

btw; a link to PayPal donation seems fine; as this would be 'voluntary' donation. I've done these many times in past. EA charged me $32 for the upgrade to GS and you want $5. Think about the economics of that, supply & demand, necessity of your mods, etc.

@fearsunn Hm. Unsubscribed for now then. I'm also not interested in a subscription for an extended period. Just a one-time donation.

@FearSunn, thanks. I would also sub you if you could make a mod that would reduce the time it takes to sell off all the surplus additional resources. Ideally, an option to auto-sell any spill-over for flat gold at best price offered by any AI :)

@Kayser
Some of your ideas are really good. I will explore possibilities when I have more time.

@FearSunn, if you add the following I will consider patrinizing you:
- About-to-build-builder-without-2-extra-builds-policy-active reminder
- Option to turn population and border notifier on and off within a city
- Option to turn on and off population notifier only on passing threshold for new district (3n+1)
- When right-clicking border notifier, zoom in on the tile the borders just expanded to
- Do not notify borders changed by swapping tiles between cities

Luke, this is actually good idea. I could probably make an option for longer term subscription.

That sounds great, but I'm not interested in extra attention and/or features. Just want the subscriptions. And pay you a one-time donation/fee. Make the one-time 10 dollars, if need be. I just don't want to pay again after I want to get my Civ on again in, say, a year.

@Plerion, Luke
I am going to handle Friends list manually and individually. First patrons will definitely get special treatment with extended periods of subscription and attention.

That's what I want to know too, yes. I'd love to give you a donation. 5 dollars is perfectly fine. But I don't want to pay for every small update you need to do to be compatible with updates again. That seems too excessive to me.

@storm
You will be able to install (subscribe/unsubscribe) them as usual here on Steam.

So if I choose to patron you does that mean I will be able to download/install your mods via Steam or will I have to manually install them if I want to use them?

Basically I make mods for myself and a few friends I play with. I have no other incentive to share my work here. This is the only way to go forward.

You have a great set of mods here that I have been using for a while now and I'm very disappointed in your your choice to force people to pay for them. I fully support that you have the right to do this but in the spirit of the Modding community it has always been one of openness.
Thanks again for your work but for me I will be unsubscribing and not supporting this Mod any longer.

Please take note you will need Extended version for plugins to function. Extended version is only available for my Friends and Patrons. Read description how to get into the list.

Even the plug-ins are updated, thanks!

Now compatible with GS

I have been using this and barbarian notification, and this part seems to work fine but the notifications are not showing up at all for barbarian camps. Hope your fix goes smoothly, as this is a feature I am shocked didn't make it into the base game!

@FearSunn thank you for being aware that your notifications [all 5: population, religion, deal, borders, barbarians] are flagged as not compatible with GS. My husband and I look forward to your updates. Your mods are awesome. I'll just post here and not in the other 4 mod comment sections to avoid spamming you. I wish there was something that I could do to help you with the coding project.

That would be great, FearSunn! I wanna start playing GS, but I am bummed out about having to watch all my expanding cities again (population- and border-wise). :)

I will look into this matter in a few days. Meanwhile please feel free to report any inconsistencies you notice.

hello fear. most notifications (population, religion, ect) with the new gs update seem to work. however the population notification specific seems to interfere with being able to select dedications once the age has been announced. i disabled all the other notifications first one by one, the population notification was the one that created the hang. all the best.
