About This File
This mod attempts to make casinos a little more fun! It balances and upgrades all of the SimCity Casinos. It also gives larger casinos more of a competitive edge and makes them a worthwile investment.
Features
- Balance and Upgrades to all 5 Casinos and Modules, including Gambling HQ
- Helps boost the larger casinos to make them easier to maintain and invest in
- Includes a chart breakdown of all of the upgrades and changes to each building and module
- Significant increases to module limits (8 to 48, 4 to 24, etc)
- Includes package files for each casino (allowing you to pick and choose casino upgrades)
- OPTIONAL: Doubles the plop region (distance from main building) for standalone Casino modules
- OPTIONAL: Includes Special Edition Las Vegas Metro Police vehicles to complete your casino city
Technical
- Significant increases to module limits (more than double on some, quadruple on others)
- Huge increases to casino tourist capacity (gamblers) able to play inside the casino
- Increased sign and marquee limits to 2, 3 and 5 depending on available plop points
- Balanced building costs and maintenance fees, based on available tourist capacity
- Fixes to a few current casino bugs (sleek marquee maintenance fee too high, sci-fi had too many jobs, etc)
- Increase plop distance from 200 units to 500 units for all building modules
Please see included Chart.png for more information and exact value changes for each building and module.
Planned Future Versions
- Separate "God Mode" Scripts which remove maintenance costs, reduce construction cost and lower resource consumption (for experimentation)
- More Balancing and Upgrade Abilities (with help from the community suggestions)
Installation Instructions: Casino Overhaul
- Install by copying the .package file into your ...\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityUserData\Packages\ folder (not the \SimCityData\ folder)
- Be sure to include the most recent versions of the SimCity EcoGame Scripts. I have provided them for convenience.
- If you already have the EcoGame scripts, make sure they are up to date. No need to have duplicates.
- You may alternatively use the individual package files in the "IndividualFiles" folder to select which casinos to upgrade.
Please see included Folder.png screenshot if you are still unsure on how to install this mod.
Installation Instructions: Casino Plop Extension
- Install by copying the .package file into your ...\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityData\ folder (not the \SimCityUserData\Packages\ folder)
Installation Instructions: Las Vegas Police Vehicles
- Install by copying the .package files into your ...\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityData\ folder
- For each vehicle, there are three versions; Police Station, Police Precinct and French Police Station

In light of my recent trip to Vegas, I decided to take my experience and apply it to SimCity Casinos. Like the Power Overhaul mod, I wanted to give a nice twist on Casinos without affecting the balance negatively. If you have suggestions for the mod, please comment below or message me. Don't give a bad rating if you don't agree with certain aspects of the mod. Instead, contact me and let me know what your concerns are about the balance, let's work together on it. If you notice any problems, please report them in the comments and I will look at the issues as soon as possible. Be looking for more mods like this very soon! Thanks for your support. Happy Modding
