Jinxie - WIP Mods

[Jinxiewinxie]

See. Some things are just simple and beautiful.
Pathing can be made very nice with a lot of space and maybe some deco.

I love having little yards in my own gameplay XD I like having my houses spread out and decorated nicely, but then they end up far from their jobs.. so then I need a mod to decrease how much food people need.. its a never ending cycle of "making it pretty" but then "oh no, have to find a work around to keep it pretty!" heheh XD

@Jinxiewinxie I do have other mods enabled, they are all Kid's mods and ones that I have used many times before with no conflicts.  I have very few problems or conflict and never had this happen before.    I wonder if I didn't have a worker to assign  that is a possibility. Will test again later with official download  Congrats

you will notice if you do a profession in game folder(like the game usually use), and do a profession in profession folder (like apiary) will create 2 seperated profession with same names and same name files.

if you get double this is because you didnt set it up like the other one.

[Jinxiewinxie]

Hmm, I have mine set up inside the Profession folder only but I wonder if someone else's mod has it inside the game folder, then maybe it'll cause problems for mine. What is the convention/best practice? Do you usually put yours in YourMods\YourModName\Profession or in YourMods\YourModName\Game Mr. Ketchup?

[RedKetchup]

for the new ones , in RKEC they are
YourMods\YourModName\Profession

but i also have an original profession file in /Game/Profession with vanilla ones with some changing orders.

[Jinxiewinxie]

Oooh, I see, I see =) Ty!

I am thinking that since RKEC removed vanilla textures, and Bitty matches vanilla and Kid's mods that it what Bitty's professions should match.  Just my non-modder thought.

thats the strenght of RKEC (replaced all vanilla textures^^)

So.... I came across this post about roof wigs by @galensgranny

and I think I might be able to do it pretty simply!

Step 1, before applying the deco item:





Step 2, after applying:



This is just proof of concept, I'd use like, neater roof textures with tons of options (as is my style, heh)

[Jinxiewinxie]

Better example with the hue on my slate texture changed to be more purple:



Another example with a new random roof texture:




I just have to separate the roof from one of my houses, move it by .5x and -.5y and then scale it up by 1.010 and tada =D I only have a few basic roof shapes, the a frame, the a frame 90 degrees, the barn style and the  barn 90 degrees.. so 4 different roof wigs needed and each can have a ton of textures. I could probably do the same for my dormer pieces, the little roof bits that pop up out of the roof all cute-like.. just have deco dormer pieces that match all the roof wigs I make.

Thoughts? Is this too much? XD I might just be being extra.. I never know when to stop myself heh

I have tested your mod and I must say it looks good! It will be fine to use it with new footprint.
About modular - Nice thought. You are maybe on to something there. I have to get used to the idea though.

What do players say about ghosted roofs? They give more options and are easy to update...

[brads3]

a long tijme back,i thought of an idea where we needed a set of walls and roofs to enclose other buildings, say you use a building from a mod that doesn't match what the village is. with the ghosted walls androof options,you could fake it by just using decorative pieces.  it wasso long ago,i can't remember which buildings i was thiniking of. since then there has beenalot of mods. say you wanted a meat locker which was stone but wanted it to be woood to match a village. ghost pieces would be handy.

     if you had some support poles for those roofs,GATHERER would use them for porches. handy too for pile covers or extra pasture barns..

[kid1293]

Oh yeah, they are fun! Small houses=more space for fantasy.

   Regarding bakery and baker.  I did a second quick test - same mods enabled.  Immediately built bakery and assigned worker -  no problem.  I made built another bakery making all laborers builders so none available to be baker - cause of problem was no available worker for job.  Bakery is okay

i told jinxie if she/he goes for that, he/she will get a lot of fans
