About this mod

Ultimate Economic Overhaul is an original large-scale re-writing of the economy and other connected factors of the game Drug Dealer Simulator, clocking in somewhere around 1000 changes.

Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Ultimate Economic Overhaul focuses on improving gameplay by increasing volume and quantity of sales, while providing realistic values for most items, centered around real-world United States drug markets. It also allows for precipitous increases due to customer demand and the limited accessibility of the area. All drugs have increased profitability, most with higher cost as well. Cocaine and heroin retail for at least one hundred dollars a gram, but cost significantly more as well. Level unlocks for cocaine and heroin have been raised, while fentanyl is unlocked earlier than ever. All customers order more, and start out ordering in logical amounts to real-world drug dealing, thus in eighths, quarters, halves, and ounces. Client and dealer orders scale up higher than normal, as do gang orders which start at 2 kilos and go up from there.

To accompany the increase in profits, almost every item, equipment, mixer, and furniture in the game is 500% of the original cost. Higher prices force you to make decisions in your business expansion, as hideouts start at $60,000 and scale up. Eddie and his cartel are aware of the higher costs, so they have increased your line of credit. Items found in trash cans have slightly higher odds, with paint having much higher odds, and also return more in laundering, in order to help you make ends meet. And laundering now scales up to 150% return on money put in, but it will cost you a pretty penny, with higher drop-box limits. Clients understand that you are working harder than ever, so they will give you more time to deliver. Exposure (exposition) has been adjusted for larger sales, and to reflect actual criminal activity more accurately, with respect dropping slower. You can also buy Pitcoin in larger amounts on your computer now, up to 1000 at a time.

Among the many changes to code are a number of typo and grammar fixes, clarifications, and added references in clients and non-story related text to drug related television, film, literature, and music. Items stack more logically and conveniently for the larger scale buying and selling, and most of the mod is aimed towards reflecting real world traits. Less skill points are given for levelling up in order to extend that mechanic to higher levels. There are also a number of other convenience fixes, including faster water bottle filling and slower gate re-locking. In addition, the weed growing system has been totally overhauled, with real-world strains featuring accurate yields, varying times, and more opportunity for role-playing. Areas give more clients and dealers inherently, and bags hold more items. In the end-game, Walther will sell all drugs besides cannabis after becoming available, as well as some bulk mixers.

My motivation for making this modlist was enjoying the game but not the slow-pace and low volumes, even in the end-game, of sales. Mixing is probably my favorite part of the game next to the business management aspect, so the modlist is built to increase sales and thus time spent making mixes. Big thanks to the DDS Modding Discord for all the help. Included in .rar file is a .txt file with notations on my .uasset edits for anyone who wants to check my work.



Installation
Important Notes: Any mod that uses the same file ARE NOT compatible and need to be manually merged. Renaming the file to something else will not work. If it uses the same folder but not the same file then it is fine.

Before modding your game in anyway backup your save games found in %localappdata%\DrugDealerSimulator\Saved\Serialized to somewhere safe on the rare occasion something goes wrong.

1. Download UnrealModUnlockerBasic from https://illusory.dev/

2. Launch UnrealModUnlockerBasic Setup 0.34.1.exe and navigate to your Drug Dealer Simulator's Win64 Folder
Should be something similar to this: \steamapps\common\DrugDealerSimulator\DrugDealerSimulator\Binaries\Win64

3. Click on Patch and then OK on the popups. Exit out of the application once done.

4. Open up the .zip/.rar file of the mod and take any content based folders and put it inside your content folder located in your Drug Dealer Simulator folder.
Should be something similar to this: steamapps\common\DrugDealerSimulator\DrugDealerSimulator\Content
Content based folders are folders like Datatables, Drugs, WorldControlers, etc NOT the mod folder like Gang Order Buff. 

See image for comparison of a correctly modded game vs an incorrectly modded game.
