About this mod Author’s original text
MorePlayers (Fixed)
Entirely based on ViViKo's original "MorePlayers" mod.
Features
- Increases the max amount of players per Old Market Simulator lobby to 16 (originally 4).
- Literally nothing else.
How to Install
For your sake, back up your saves before trying anything. This works as of October 2025, but who knows what'll change in the future.
Save files can usually be found (on Windows) by navigating to %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Alcedo Games\Old Market Simulator\ and are stored in the slot folders.
Automatically
Download and install your favourite mod manager (r2modman, Gale, etc.) and hopefully it'll do the job for ya?
Manually
Grab yourself BepInExPack, pop the DLL from this mod into your plugins folder (run the game once if it doesn't exist), and hopefully nothing crashes.
Why?
At some point, the devs at Alcedo Games made a change that involved the player limit no longer being defined in GameManager.OnServerStarted(). That's where ViViKo's original mod was patching the player limit from 4 to 16. Now it's chilling over in SteamLobbyManager.CreateLobby(), so the Harmony Transpiler needed to be pointed at the new function.
I saw a few other people asking for an increased player limit, so I figured I may as well upload this instead of being lazy.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
