Someone please explain this in a non-nerd way. I don't understand.

I know this is an old mod and with raki-can suggestions I have got it working. However does anyone know how you would add new new reform programmes to this. I get the basic idea but not sure how I would go about it.

1. Subscribe to this item
2. After confirming that the workshop content has been downloaded on the steam client, launch the game once, open the mod menu, add the mod to the activation list and click the Apply button.
When the game restarts, end the game once.
3. Open the mod file folder in "c: \ Users \ [Username] \ AppData \ Local \ Introversion \ Prison Architect \ mods".
The ID of this mod is 844573495, so open that folder.
4. Copy "reform_programs.txt" in the "data" folder.
5. Open "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Prison Architect" and create a new folder named "data".
6. Paste "reform_programs.txt" into the created "data" folder.

In addition to what this mod does, I wanted to reduce session time, so I edited the file and tried it, and it was reflected correctly.

I've been looking at several mods to the same effect and have found a solution that can still make this mod work.
Indeed, there is currently no "data" folder in the games folder.
But we can create a new folder!

@CarmaGuy how do you manually reinsert the txt file into the .dat file?
CarmaGuy 26 Jan, 2020 @ 8:57am 
I found a workaround that actually works.
You have to manually reinsert the edited reform_programs.txt file into the main.dat (7zip format)

I found the folder/files and attempted to edit it a little since it wasn't working for me neither but I haven't found out why it's not working. I must admit that I'm a noob at modding but I will attempt to get this one working again

If anyone knows anything about what might be wrong please don't hesitate to comment ^^

Not working for me.

I'm not sure if it's working. And there is no trace of the subfolder or the text file anywhere on my computer.

There is no Data folder on my prison architect folder. only DLC and game files :/?

POTENTIAL FIX - Let me know how you get on

If the mod doesn't work, place the file 'reform_programs.txt' in your Prison Architect installation folder inside a subfolder named 'data'.

E.g. 'C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Prison Architect\data\reform_programs.txt'
Ranger  [author] 6 Jun, 2017 @ 2:03pm 
Currently a few issues, looking into a fix. Feedback appreciated :-)

stil any prisoners didn't pass program in class, plz tel me why :steamsad:
Francissaucisson 24 Feb, 2017 @ 6:34am 
this mod is really cool but could you do the same mod only for the prisonners please ?
murgh 18 Feb, 2017 @ 3:47am 
But anyway this mod is still a bad idea, because prisoners need average and difficult reform programs as well, since no prisoner is the same. Having only easy classes makes some prisoners angry because they cant do hard classes and so they will get higher literacy needs.
murgh 18 Feb, 2017 @ 3:42am 
Oh, your prison is not open yet? That should be fine then :)
murgh 18 Feb, 2017 @ 3:40am 
Yeah, new prison is better. When I experimented a bit with reform, I noticed the game fks up the reform programs progress etcetera when altering reform programs with a mod while there were already programs running. Same as with modding new needs, they only work properly on new prisoners, not existing ones.

@ murgh maybe i'd have to start new prison? I have big facility that i've been building for some time, but it is still close for inmates so i was hoping it would still count as new prison
murgh 18 Feb, 2017 @ 12:41am 
@Lord, it should, i'm using that mod and it gives workman instead of foreman as a teacher. But not when the mod is in the default mods folder.
Lord Commander Eidolon 17 Feb, 2017 @ 1:31pm 
@ murgh thanks but this don't seem to work
murgh 17 Feb, 2017 @ 3:21am 
Go here to read instructions on how to get it to work: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=567804314

@ author: it's about time you update your description instead of removing solutions....
Lord Commander Eidolon 16 Feb, 2017 @ 7:53am 
yup, same problem here
SuperDigga 15 Feb, 2017 @ 11:52am 
same problem as pookie, inmates cant pass even the spirituality program which should be easy. I have many chapels in all blocks
Pookie 12 Feb, 2017 @ 4:31pm 
I had recently downloaded this mod and I noticed that it is not working. I developed a sandbox mod to check certain programs, such as the workshop and foundation education programs for number of sessions and for pass/fail rates. My prisoners were not all passing any program nor were the sessions for any program changed from the default value to 1. Any assistance on troubleshooting this and fixing it would be appreciated

Ranger  [author] 30 Jan, 2017 @ 10:31am

KingMarine 30 Jan, 2017 @ 2:34am
