With the latest update on the beta version, all TacticalFaux mods (Except hireable goons) are currently working. You may have to unsubscribe and resubscribe.

Nice. Thx for your effort and great work

Update: So, they've solved part of the issue and on a private beta branch they've given me access to. They are hopefully going to publish an updated version of the modtools next week so that I can patch my end of things to match. And if that all goes well then when things go public it should all hopefully work again.

Let it be known that the dev I've been working with has been very responsive and also seems commited to making sure they don't leave us hanging with the mods. So just try to be kind and patient with them, everyone. :)

@Downatello Should be soon. I believe they've patched it on their end but are just working out some other things before releasing the patch. Might be this coming week. I have some info from speaking to a dev but take it with a grain of salt as I am not a dev and can't make any promises on their behalf.

okey now that i looked into the comments so many things make sense now i just thought that i was stupid that those mods wont work and i tried to download an older version of the game cause i like playing with hirable goons and demographic tweaks and i downloaded the new dlc and since then it didnt work i was so upset fr but i hope they fix this as fast as possible

That's good news. Thank you for your effort and the information. Your mods are extremely important. I wouldn't have played the game without your mods because I don't like the vanilla circus of the black book.

My bad @Chief I meant to direct you to the comments on Hireable Goons but directed you here sorry lol. Got my pages mixed up.

UPDATE: I messaged an old dev I knew and I suppose the word traveled to the current devs because I recieved word that they will fix the modding stuff they broke in the next patch and may also expand mod tools going forward. So we are waiting on a patch for me to be able to update this, with potential more good news down the road.

Update would be nice if it is necessary because of the new dlc.

@Dun Dorr, I looked into this briefly awhile back and did not have success in the short time I looked. It's possible I missed something. Someone could look deeper.

Just wondering is there any way to make certain factions favour the unique goons from the blackbook? like for example make the Vice Kings have a 100% of recruiting the black unique characters, the luceros hiring 100% the latino characters and so on for each faction?

Thanks!!! More immersive to have each band mostly represented by a diff ethnic group.

any anti-woke-mod is welcome

@TacticalFaux thank your for the mod, without you i dont think i could play this game

Add support for murder inc and fixers (Might have to be a separate mod as some people don't have DLC) Please make this <3

@Dave1 Thanks Dave! I'm just happy people enjoy what I made. :)

thank you for making this. It made me laugh out loud when I just opened a new brothel and all the workers are men... I didnt want to open a gay brothel lol

Thanks for great mod!! Any progress on minor factions? I just can't shoot ladies you know

i cant find it in cache

Thank you very much for your quick answer! Will try that out and thank you for the mod!

@Kredeno This is part 2 of my previous comment:

If you want to include both in the pool rather than remove one though, then just double all the other numbers:

[0] = 1, -- Male Variant 0 (American?/Irish?/Italian?)
[1] = 1, -- Male Variant 1 (American?/Irish?/Italian?)
[2] = 0, -- Male Variant 2 (Black)
[3] = 0, -- Male Variant 3 (Asian)
[4] = 2, -- Male Variant 4 (Italian?/Hispanic?)
-- Female Variants
[5] = 8, -- Female Variant 1 (American?/Irish?)
[6] = 0, -- Female Variant 2 (Black/African American)
[7] = 0, -- Female Variant 3 (Asian)
[8] = 8, -- Female Variant 4 (American?/Italian?/Hispanic?)

^ numbers add up to 20, but the ratios are the same. 8/20 chance is same as 4/10 chance. 4/20 is same as 2/10. A little math is involved and that was hard to avoid while designing it due to nature of the game... but does that make sense?

@Kredeno Close but not quite. Your numbers add up to 11, not 10-- so its a 8/11 chance of them being female, which is ~72%.

To get your desired numbers, just change either Male Variant 0 or Male Variant 1 to 0.

Example A:

[0] = 1, -- Male Variant 0 (American?/Irish?/Italian?)
[1] = 0, -- Male Variant 1 (American?/Irish?/Italian?)
[2] = 0, -- Male Variant 2 (Black)
[3] = 0, -- Male Variant 3 (Asian)
[4] = 1, -- Male Variant 4 (Italian?/Hispanic?)
-- Female Variants
[5] = 4, -- Female Variant 1 (American?/Irish?)
[6] = 0, -- Female Variant 2 (Black/African American)
[7] = 0, -- Female Variant 3 (Asian)
[8] = 4, -- Female Variant 4 (American?/Italian?/Hispanic?)

^ numbers add up to 10, which means Male Variants 0 and 4 have a 1/10 chance each (total 2/10), and Female variants 1 and 4 have a 4/10 chance each. (total 8/10)

I couldn't get it to run.

[0] = 1, -- Male Variant 0 (American?/Irish?/Italian?)
[1] = 1, -- Male Variant 1 (American?/Irish?/Italian?)
[2] = 0, -- Male Variant 2 (Black)
[3] = 0, -- Male Variant 3 (Asian)
[4] = 1, -- Male Variant 4 (Italian?/Hispanic?)
-- Female Variants
[5] = 4, -- Female Variant 1 (American?/Irish?)
[6] = 0, -- Female Variant 2 (Black/African American)
[7] = 0, -- Female Variant 3 (Asian)
[8] = 4, -- Female Variant 4 (American?/Italian?/Hispanic?)

Does the configuration I did mean, that 80% are female and 20 % are men, as well as 50% are American/Irish and 50% are Italian/hispanic or did I change the wrong numbers or the numbers wrong?

Thx for that mod.
If you mind, it would be wonderful, if you could add your future plan 4. I would like to play zelnick. Atm i dont because of 50% women^^

Cheers

I don't see the button for the 2nd step anywhere when i play the game where can i find it?

I'm gonna make all my brothel workers men just for shits and gigs

wow thank you for this mod. This game is excellent just wish it was more historical.

Answered my own question! Thank you for making a mod that lets me remove men from this game and absolutely crushing any sense of historical accuracy!

Can I use this mod to remove all men? That would be pretty cool.

oops. Meant to say "instructions on how to configure to your liking are in the DESCRIPTION". Sounds like you know what I meant though. ;)

Gotcha. Thanks dude. For what its worth thank you for cleaning this game up

@Kreeded Instructions on how to configure to your liking are in instructions. You can make 0 women. I just thought they made a little sense as patching up some of the guys after they get shot, is all. (meidcs for some factions)

Minor factions are also uneffected at this time, if that's what you referring to.

Still to many women. This isn't a metoo movement. Women weren't running around with tommy guns

Closest thing I can offer you at the moment is one of my other mods-- "Hirable Goons". You could just hire only the Italian looking guys there.

Because there is no "official" way to import new assets currently, we can only use character models already in the game. So making completely original gangsters is a challenge. But my Hirable Goons mod at least re-used the variants for normal grunts and makes them gangsters that can be re-hired fresh when they die.

Is there any way to mod the demographics of the Black Book? Currently if you play as Al Capone, for example, you can't even fill up your mafia family with Italian made men.

The best way to make that happen was if I publish it on the paradox modding site, but I haven't gotten around to that yet.

In theory though you can just place the zip file in the right place manually though.

Great mod! curious though is there a way to install the mod for non steam versions of the game and will it still work

Thank you sir keep it up!

@joshshepley16 After launching the game with the mod active just copy paste the path I provided into windows explorer and it should open up in the correct folder for you.

I dont understand how to get to the place to edit the mod (the %appdata% thing). I cant find it in my files :( please help if possible, this mood is amazing <3

@Coach I'm glad you enjoy the mod. :)

Absolutely brilliant concept. I thought this game was so dead that nobody would mod it, thanks a lot for the work you put in!!

By 1891 just nowhere near as many as the game has at the moment. Honestly didn't know they had them that far back until recently I thought 1908 had the first female police officer

@Vasanum-- That said, I'll also add that I do believe there were female police by the 1920's. Certainly less common and if I find the ratio is 50/50 I'll lower it, but I don't see the need to eliminate female variants entirely as a default. If I can find a way to make it configurable I will though.

@Vasanum -- Sure, I can add that to the list.

Any chance of doing the same with the police? Thanks for making the game immersive

Announcement: I've just released another update, which satisfied the common request of making all brothel employees female. Previously, ~44% of them were men.

As denoted in the change logs, this update should not harm your saves at all. No need to make a new game, and you should see the effect in your brothels as soon as you load in.

Ty for this game is unplayable for me. This atleast gets me back into it. The lack of immersion and historical accuracy bugs me.

Thanks fot the update and i love how you did with the asian gang before. In my opinion it would be cool to all gangs having different types of gangsters simular to their boss style.

Awesome update thanks

Update: I have just uploaded an update that now allows you to tweak the demographics to your liking! You can change them per faction, and per class. (So the ratios for doctors can be controlled separately than enforcers, etc)
