About this mod Author’s original text

A BepInEx (mod loader) plugin for Shadows of Doubt. The citizen file popup now says what was added, not just that something was.

If it saves you a few trips into the file, please leave a like on the mod's page. It keeps me motivated to make more mods. Donations are welcome too:

What it does

Whenever details land in a citizen file, the game only tells you that something was added. This mod adds one line to the popup that says what:

New in file: build, sex, hair, eyes, facial hair, shoe size (estimate), glasses, age group, height (estimate)

No more opening the file to see what you just learned.

Features

  • Only what is new: each popup lists the details added since the last popup for that person
  • No clutter: name variants and the identity pieces the popup already shows under "Linked to" are left out
  • Readable labels: details are listed in plain words, such as "work hours", "phone number" or "shoe size (estimate)"
  • Works with the base game, no other mods needed

Notes

  • The mod starts fresh every time a city loads, so the first popup for a person in a session lists everything their file holds at that moment
  • The game sometimes merges several updates for the same person into one popup. The line then covers all of them, which is why it says "New in file"

Config

After one launch, edit with the game closed:

BepInEx/config/sm3gm.citizenfilepopup.cfg

| Setting | Default | Meaning |

|---|---|---|

| Popup.MaxDetailsShown | 0 | How many details to list before the rest is summarised as "+N more". 0 lists them all |

Install

(the public SoD mod shop) plus BepInExPack IL2CPP. Enable this mod in your profile and launch from the manager. Close the game before editing the config file.

GTFO, An Eviction Mod: evict the tenants of any apartment with Alt+Y and put it straight up for sale, furniture included.

Sync Disk Suite: 12 new sync disks, 37 vanilla branches split, rotating shop stock.

Black Market Passwords: F8 in a sticky note writes the current black market and weapons-dealer passwords.

Sync Disk Labels: inventory squares show the real sync disk name instead of the generic label.

The Control Room Fix: repairs broken Control Rooms. Adds the missing Micro Cruncher, blueprints and resident files, and gives the computer a login.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. 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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
