I would like to request a mod. I believe it is possible to make but I'm not sure, and I certainly can't code myself. Here goes. Request: An agricultural child labor mod. Reason: Twofold; one, because as your city progresses, you just can't keep enough uneducated workers around. Even with the new School's Out policy, and low value housing, your cims are determined to make your Farm districts a ghost town. The Young age group is, at best, only elementary school educated, and could really help. Two, in the US, pretty much all states have laws that allow children, usually ages 12-16 (depending on the state) to work part-time during the school year. This isn't working on the family farm, but for pay as an actual job. They can even work younger than 12 in some states. Link to US state laws list at a quick glance I'm pretty sure that there are provisions in most European countries as well. How it could be made in theory: I've looked at some of the variables that can be modified for mods. I've noticed that the age groups have a work availability modifier, and children/young cims are set to 0, but the others all have values. I also believe there is a modifier for the individual industry specializations for age groups or something. I think. Now, I'm not saying that the entire population of kids should be eligible, just a percentage. I think this may be possible to some degree because I looked in the code of a mod called Dropouts, and it modifies the cims that are enrolled in education, and fails a certain percentage of them at various stages of the educational ladder, and prevents them from trying to get education anymore and start seeking jobs. Thanks for reading this, no matter the outcome.
