Easy to fix this. Just delete the UI folder inside the mod of your steam workshop downloads... https://ibb.co/6R9R0Yb

I love how boops boops boops wont bother to update this mod himself. Others have to give info so we can make this mod work. Why wont boops update the mod??. Would be a simple fix

Thanks for responding, I would like to use it in version 1.49.x. It's possible?

@Radonisu: you can just read the game.log and see the problem. Fix it or just go to the mod folder itself ("your_steam_folder\workshop\content\227300\1577169262\147x\" and delete the ui folder as those edits to bank.sii are for the old UI. Mod works perfect then.

Can you update it so it works in the new update, all mods that change the bank loan crash in 1.50

@yagoalex01 None of the required files have changed in version 1.48, therefore, the mod should work on it
Boops. Boops boops  [author] 30 Aug, 2023 @ 1:57pm 
@Ultimate Gaming currently maximum drive time is set to 660 minutes (11 hours) and sleeping time to 540 (9 hours). To change these values, you should change maximum_driving_time and sleeping_time on lines 35 and 36, like so:
maximum_driving_time: 780
sleeping_time: 660

If your currency symbol becomes a question mark, try to use a different text editor, for example, Notepad++.

1.48x compatible?
Ultimate Gaming 3 Jul, 2023 @ 11:22am 
Hi, Love using this mod but I want to adjust the drive/sleep hours as I find 11hrs drive too short, I have tired adjusting the drive/sleep hours in the 147x def file so that my Max drive is 13hrs & 11hrs rest but when I do the currency symbol becomes a question mark - What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Thanks

thank you so much man, after sweating a little LOL I managed to set the values I wanted
Boops. Boops boops  [author] 29 Apr, 2023 @ 10:27am 
Hi @Jess. You can change values yourself by editing the economy data file. You can find it by following this path:
[Steam installation folder]/steamapps/workshop/content/227300/1577169262/147x/def/

Inside the "def" folder, open the "economy_data.sii" using Notepad or any other text editing software and change any of these values:
revenue_per_km_base - base revenue per km (euros in ETS2 and USD in ATS) (default: 15 )
revenue_coef_per_km - freight market jobs revenue (default: 0.9 )
cargo_market_revenue_coef_per_km - cargo market jobs revenue (default: 1.0 )

As for this mod, these values are 28, 2.15, and 3.43 respectively.

You can either dial down the base revenue back to 15 or change the coefficients to what you think should be the appropriate values.
Jess 26 Apr, 2023 @ 10:06am 
bro, I really like the mod, but is there a way to lower the payment amounts for the jobs a little?? put in 1.5 for example??
loloju4 18 Apr, 2023 @ 8:42am 
please update
Nestor 16 Apr, 2023 @ 4:28am 
Need an update to 1.47, the game crashes
Boops. Boops boops  [author] 9 Jan, 2023 @ 2:36am 
@II Gestan II Yes, of course, you can do it, and it isn't necessary to add credits.

Hello, I was wondering if i could use your economy_data file (file only, not the whole mod) to release an AFK "simulate" style mod. Only thing that was edited/modified on my end was the time awake and time to sleep. Credit for original file as well as info to your full economy mod will be linked in my workshop item/mod. Will NOT be uploaded if this is denied or until permission is given. Thanks

I agree, richy, it was a fair economy mod. I used it to mainly reduce the loan payments and repair/refueling cost for my drivers when they weren't able to find a job.
richy.messer 30 Jan, 2022 @ 12:07am 
this used to be the only economy mod i would use because it was a decent and fair economy mod. But then the auther decided to be utterly deluded and messed it up. I wont be touching it again
Boops. Boops boops  [author] 2 Nov, 2021 @ 5:59am 
I have reduced AI driver revenue coefficient from 1.85 to 1.2 and from 2.8 to 1.44 if AI driver has a trailer.

I have reduced player revenue by around 20-25%

I have reduced XP bonuses by around 20% too.

There have been some minor updates to other values too, like refuel and towing cost, delivery overtime, etc.
dault3883 1 Nov, 2021 @ 5:59pm 
how much did you change the values from before this update to after this update what is the value difference?
caethy 28 Dec, 2020 @ 8:20am 
Not properly blocking the game
marfushak 24 Nov, 2020 @ 9:19am 
Please update this mod for 1.39 version?
ayaz.7 31 Aug, 2020 @ 7:05pm 
does this work for 1.38?
dault3883 25 May, 2020 @ 6:06pm 
is this going to get updated to 1.37?
Boops. Boops boops  [author] 14 Apr, 2019 @ 1:48am 
@baza-b you can edit this mod.
Co0kieCat 13 Apr, 2019 @ 10:57am 
really like this mod, just a question can i edit it? i dont like how much money you get from a job its way too much, and paying employes is too much too :steamhappy:
wh1tEEEEy 28 Mar, 2019 @ 2:18pm 
Great mod. Doesn't make it stupidly easy & still have to grind, just nowhere near as much. makes ETS2 much more enjoyable!
The Marathon Man 29 Dec, 2018 @ 4:47am 
I have it like 3rd one down and it works fine. It's not like you're going to be a millionair in two loads. It is better than the grind per,vanilla though.
Boops. Boops boops  [author] 29 Dec, 2018 @ 3:08am 
As far as I know it isn't necessery to have it as top priority mod.
It might not work if you have any other xp or money mod installed.
I haven't tested with PROMODS as I don't own all the necessery mods.
Try to enable this mod only and see if it works.
Exploding Carrot 28 Dec, 2018 @ 2:19pm 
How can I tell if this is working or not? I've installed it, but I can't see any noticeable difference in job rewards to what was being offered previously? Should it be the top priority mod? Does it work with Promods also installed? Thanks :)
The Marathon Man 10 Dec, 2018 @ 11:20pm 
No,no mod but I may have it changed in the options. Let me look and see.
Boops. Boops boops  [author] 8 Dec, 2018 @ 2:13pm 
are you using mod to change your currency to USD becaused I can't change currency to USD in my game
The Marathon Man 8 Dec, 2018 @ 2:11pm 
I'll just start over and see if that works. Thanks.
The Marathon Man 8 Dec, 2018 @ 1:33pm 
I only have the standard version of the game so, there's no DLC other than, wheels accessories and stuff. No Heavy Cargo or stuff like that. Just the standard version of the game. I can't afford all those high $ DLCs.
The Marathon Man 8 Dec, 2018 @ 1:28pm 
I'm level 14 and the jobs seems to be priced with a symbol and between 3-14 w/e.
The Marathon Man 8 Dec, 2018 @ 1:26pm 
I've updated the game, yes. The economy seems to be the same. Idk what the difference is in US dollars and w/e these dollars are but, the prices seem to be as they were,even before the mod.
Boops. Boops boops  [author] 8 Dec, 2018 @ 1:25pm 
Is it not working at all?
Also, check if you have the latest version of the game.
The Marathon Man 8 Dec, 2018 @ 1:19pm 
Doesn't seem to be working for me. :(

I have it at the top of the MM.
The Marathon Man 8 Dec, 2018 @ 8:41am 
Thanks. Almost gave up due to the grind and I have no idea the comparison from Euros,etc...,etc... to US $.
HunterKiller 5 Dec, 2018 @ 12:04am 
OK, thanks.
HunterKiller 3 Dec, 2018 @ 5:37pm 
I have it and it helps a lot. Is there a version for ATS too?
Elfs 3 Dec, 2018 @ 6:15am 
Works great, and perfect it is perfect economy mod. Keep it up!
HunterKiller 30 Nov, 2018 @ 2:40pm 
Does it work? The grind in ETS2 is awful.
