Ah I've found the issue. I'v accidentally disabled the Social Engineering DLC while disabling my other mods. Thanks for the work on this mod. It's easily the best mod for this game.

@ghosty I've never heard of this before... The only thing I can think of is that you somehow modified the games main 'mission' files for the other countries. My mod doesn't modify those files, it just adds a new one, the uk - overhaul pack that you were able to get working.

@Ashai I'm not sure what you mean haha yes it's ok to use. There should be a much older version on the democracy 3 website if you can't get the dropbox version working.

The new feature I'm most excited about is a hidden early game stabilizer for GDP. Essentially, your GDP will curve toward 50% when the game is loading and once you start playing it slowly wears off for the first few turns. This way if you use the 'randomize start' setting you wont be totally screwed over by an almost unwinnable starting scenario.

@Labargoth sounds like you're missing the extremism or social engineering DLC, I forget which one that policy is from.

But I'm considering updating this mod again soon, I have been quietly working on it here and there and I feel like it's ready to go. Hopefully the steam workshop upload feature works for me this time and you guys wont have to get it through dropbox anymore (but I'll leave it there if anyone still wants the older version).

Mod seems to be broken. I applied the manual update as per description, but whenever I try to start a game with only this mod (and the DLC) active, I get an error message saying "Failed to find NationalArmedForcesWeek for C s e c,:..\..\..\src\SIM_Neuron.cpp 356" and then the game closes.
Saplaiceen 28 Dec, 2018 @ 1:22pm 
is this ok to use?

Mod crashes on every other country other than the "Overhaul Pack UK" country. Only using the first three DLC and "Overhaul Pack."

However, playing the included "Overhaul Pack United Kingdom" has the mod playing fine. Is this supposed to happen?

Working for me now with the Dropbox download. So long as in the default folder you have Overhaul Pack > data > etc. it should work fine. The text file in mods folder defines which folder it should be in (relative to root Democracy 3 folder.)
ChimiChingus: HumongusChongus 30 May, 2018 @ 12:56pm 
I hadn't thought of that, but it didn't work.
Ace73  [author] 29 May, 2018 @ 10:15pm 
Oh, you probably have to rename the folder from 'Overhaul Pack Balance Patch 2.01 upload version' to just 'Overhaul Pack'.
Ace73  [author] 29 May, 2018 @ 7:06pm 
Does the mod show up in your list of mods in-game?
ChimiChingus: HumongusChongus 29 May, 2018 @ 6:48pm 
I actually still can't get it to load even after downloading the dropbox. I tried uninstaling the game, validating the game, uninstaling the mod (using the in game button) and unsubscribing and resubscribing on here. To clarify, I put it in the same place all the other mods go, (the main folder) including the DLCs.
Ace73  [author] 29 May, 2018 @ 5:10pm 
There's something wrong with the update function or perhaps gremlins have invaded. In the meantime I have uploaded the most current version to dropbox and linked it in the description above.

PLEASE NOTE there is a chance of 'crash to desktop' errors that give no specific information about the cause which makes them difficult to fix. If you run into them, please upload your autosave file so I can try to track down the cause. If you understand how to mod this game and want to try fixing it yourself my best guess would be the custom events. Sorry guys, best I can do right now :\
Splinter 28 May, 2018 @ 12:51pm 
Seems to be only downloading the text file defining the mod and not the actual data files used to make the changes.
ChimiChingus: HumongusChongus 25 May, 2018 @ 10:12pm 
Looks fantastic, but I aswell cannot seem to get it to load. I've played this game with a lot of mods for a long time and have never seen this problem before. I really hope you can work it out. This is the only "big" mod with major features left on the workshop still being worked on.
PapaZeph 23 May, 2018 @ 3:05am 
Hey Zander, thanks for your work with this game. :)

Anyway, got the same problem as TheGoldenhammer_ and KING OF BEES.
Clean install, no other mods, Social Engineering, Extremism and Clones and Drones installed.

Tried to enable DLC one by one then your mod, it does nothing.
Tried to enable DLC all together then your mod, nothing again.

Have you got ideas to make it work?
TheGoldenhammer_ 21 May, 2018 @ 4:10am 
Having the same problems at my end. Cant seem to get the game to notice the mod.
KING OF BEES 28 Mar, 2018 @ 6:53pm 
Just did a clean install of my game. Nothing but all DLC, this mod, and 2/5 of your reccomended mods installed.

I disabled all mods and DLC, then re-enabled the DLC, then enabled your mod. While I can load a country, the additional features (such as house prices or fair trade) are not showing up in my game.

Please advise.
Ace73  [author] 18 Mar, 2018 @ 10:27am 
You have to disable ALL mods, then enable the DLC, then my mod. The order you enable things matters, this game is VERY picky about that.

The mod definitely runs, the only potential issue is if there is a situation or event causing a crash to desktop. If this happens to anyone let me know and I'll try to track it down.
Alexander 18 Mar, 2018 @ 8:54am 
keep in mind 90% of the things on this workshop don't work, haha :)
Alexander 18 Mar, 2018 @ 8:53am 
been fiddling with it for 2 days, the mod doesn't launch
INTERCEPTOR 18 Mar, 2018 @ 8:51am 
very gooed
Ace73  [author] 17 Mar, 2018 @ 10:45am 
v you wanna explain that in a little more detail?
Alexander 17 Mar, 2018 @ 8:57am 
doesn't work
Ace73  [author] 6 Mar, 2018 @ 6:14pm 
GIANT update is up with a ton of new content and balance changes to attempt to return to the glory days of this mod. I apologize for it being so insanely difficult before, changes to the core game's balance affected my mod in ways I could not have predicted and I was not actively playing this game or working on the mod at all anymore. With the help of a few testers I think I've managed to get it back to an acceptable difficulty level as well as adding a ton of content and even attempting to allow more capitalist and fascist styles to be viable as well.
INTERCEPTOR 2 Mar, 2018 @ 2:37pm 
pls fix
Squantanamo 10 Feb, 2018 @ 9:48pm 
this mod is broken beyond belief. you start with zero popularity after winning and election and lobbying groups form immediately causing an impossible political gridlock which crashes GDP and leads to mass unemployment and apathy. this is all within like 3 turns.
syn 17 Dec, 2017 @ 9:41am 
@HeyLittleSparta I got the game and 3 dlc's for 10 bucks on g2a. Always check if something is cheaper on g2a before you buy it in the steam store
Arch_Chancellor 15 Nov, 2017 @ 4:15am 
Cliffski changed the coding. It doesn't work now :(
HeyLittleSparta 2 Nov, 2017 @ 5:48pm 
Could you please make this so you don't have to have DLC? If you do, that would be much appreciated. (I'm too cheap to spend more than $25 on a simple game)
fascist_p3ngu1n 11 Oct, 2017 @ 8:24am 
dont see the mod in the modlist
Redcoat123 8 Oct, 2017 @ 9:15pm 
The mod seems very cool, but whenever I play a game my popularity starts and one and falls to zero. No matter how popular the policies I implament it doesn't increase. :steamsad:
Arch_Chancellor 8 Oct, 2017 @ 5:34am 
Thank you, @Zander273
Starfoth The Burgundy Silk Rug 23 Sep, 2017 @ 3:52pm 
Does this work with presidential suite?
VolpeRosso 5 Sep, 2017 @ 7:22pm 
Hi there! Thanks for the good work! I noticed that some things that I expected to affect the Wall Street Lobby didn't. I looked at the files, and it's called WallStreetLobby under situations.csv, but refered to as WallStreetLobbyists when being affected in policies.csv. A quick name change should fix it :)
Ace73  [author] 17 Jul, 2017 @ 11:23am 
@arch try disabling then re-enabling the mod. The order you enable them matters, the mod needs to be enabled last because it uses data from the dlc.

Electioneering is not needed but is compatible.
Ace73  [author] 17 Jul, 2017 @ 11:21am 
@VimoverhereV nope, I have an update in the works just not a lot of time for it or responding to people on here. But you can add me if you want me to send you the update-in-progress I suppose. The reason its so hard now is related to a few changes cliffski made to the base game after I stopped working on this mod.
TastesLikeWall 16 Jul, 2017 @ 11:26pm 
Hey, just a heads up guys. This mod is UNPLAYABLE. Unsure why, but your approval rating will stay at zero throughout the term, causing election loss. No matter what policies are in play. Given the date of last update, and lost comment, I'd consider this mod abandoned.
Arch_Chancellor 16 Jul, 2017 @ 6:36am 
Even after disabling the mods that are incompatible, according to your list, it still crashes. What happened?
randomhan 24 Jun, 2017 @ 6:05pm 
wow this mod is HARD like real hard lol. any tips? ive never been able to get things done in any way
itscharlesbro 24 Jun, 2017 @ 9:18am 
can this get updated to be compatible with the Presidential Suite?
echoji 11 Jun, 2017 @ 6:01am 
Can you please make community policing remove the abusive police mechanic? If you want to dramaticaly lower rates of crime there's no way to remove the abusive police problem
Foxtrotter 16 May, 2017 @ 8:05pm 
Catch my Twitter feed @Foxtrotter69 for updates when I stream/record gameplay. Let me know if you want me to do something specific, for your testing. Just send the message in Steam.
D 12 Sep, 2016 @ 10:36pm 
is their anyway you could add a bankruptcy/ Debt default event, cause for shits and giggles i eliminated all revenue, and racked up over 500trillion in debt, had a C credit rating, a debt crisis, but no default?
̸̶̸͖͈͓͘͜₹̶̳̂̈ͥ̊ 7 Jul, 2016 @ 12:54pm 
After the newest update, the mod no longer seems to work. I've tested with all 3 pieces of currently released DLC and the mod, and nothing changes (it does not crash, but no policies or situations are visible). It worked perfectly previously, an update to make it compatible may be required.

On Windows, so this is not a report on the Mac problem another user had.

Thanks for the great mod, and keep up the good work.
mr whittie 6 Jul, 2016 @ 12:13am 
okay then thanks anyway
Ace73  [author] 5 Jul, 2016 @ 12:38pm 
Sorry but there is no possible way to ensure compatibilty with other mods. It isn't a matter of up to date code it's simply that some mods don't work with each other and they never will unless you change or remove large parts of the mods in ways that will also affect gameplay.
