Game Speed mod

Description
Game Speed mod
This mod makes milestone progress and city growth slower, when everything unlocks more gradually, so that you can enjoy every stage of the city growth deeply. (This mod is senseless for people who plays with unlock all or unlimited money.)

  1. Everything is expensive so you have to wait more time to construct a new building or road.
  2. City growth is slower, and population required to unlock milestones is higher.
  3. Prerequisites for levelup park areas and industry areas are higher.
  4. Time flow (day/night cycle as well as year cycle) and citizen aging are slower.

Note, that the maintenance cost (and your income) is not changed. So the game has not become harder, only slower.

See the table for details.

*To preserve the game balance shifted due to the longer citizen's lifespan, death care services are nerfed (cemetry, crematorium, and hearse capacities are decreased).

Options
  • Do not scale milestone population threshold with water area ratio
Check this option if you don't want the population, required to unlock milestones, being scaled with the water area ratio. This makes the game progress even slower.

  • Hard Mode
- Maintenance cost +25% (the same as in the vanilla Hard Mode)
- Demand -20 (the same as in the vanilla Hard Mode)
- Higher levelup prerequisites (the same as in the vanilla Hard Mode)
- No milestone rewards
The vanilla Hard Mode is not compatible with this mod. If you want to play Hard Mode, turn this option on. (Do not use it together with the vanilla Hard Mode.)

Game speed and options are stored in your game save file, so you can use different settings for each game.

Compatibility
Confirmed compatible mods:
  • Loading Screen mod
  • Extended Game Options (resources depletion rate is combined)
  • Total Autobudget
  • Taxes helper mod
  • Natural Disasters Overhaul

Incompatible mods:
  • Vanilla Hard Mode
  • Real time
  • Difficulty tuning mod
  • Probably other mods that changes time flow or construction costs.

I would love to see a mod that just does this with milestones. The rappid opening of new milestones in the beginning seriously destroys the game for me. From when the fisheries becomes available until oil is available. Inbetween these there are way too much to do. The different types of businesses and parks, everything happening at ones is quite overwhelming. What I normally do is put the game on hold, maybe for an hour or more, just to build and finetune. And when I'm finished I'm so mentally exchausted I completely loose interest in the game.

hello, the update of the mods, it will be when

The mod config doesn't show up in options even after verifying game cache, resubbing among other things. It shows up in the mod list but not options, and in modlist it only shows as the workshop ID number and not the actual name. Do you possibly have any idea why this is? I appreciate your time!

@Zenya - Should garbage bins be collecting outside of buildings before garbage facilities are available in the Little Hamlet (1st level)? And the the happiness level of my industry and commercial is between 78-84% while my residential is averages 3-4%. The Happy face by population on the bar is always showing green but definitely not in the info view.. Houses will build. Be red, someone moves in and it goes the middle shade of blue and about 3 seconds later (literally) goes red and stays there. I don't recall if this is normal vanilla behavior as normally you don't stay in little hamlet this long :) and I definitely do not recall this many garbage bins before garbage becomes available.
