Prison Architect - formerly from Introversion, acquired by Paradox

[Norfleet]

Recently Rimworld has done the same in their newest DLC.

This isn't true, no steps were taken to break mods specifically. Mods just inevitably break anytime major codebase changes occur, and the beta branch of the latest version was released specifically so modders could attempt updates prior to the release of the latest DLC.

I meant in the sense that the newest Rimworld DLC is also repackaged mods. The newest biotech DLC combined features that 3 major/popular mods already added, plus pig people.

Paradox may or may not break mods specifically in addition to repackaging popular Prison Architect mods as DLC.

As an aside, as someone who plays heavily modded Rimworld, I know about the beta branch approach (they've done it with every release since 1.1, when I started playing) and I also know that almost every mod on my list breaks with every major patch regardless, but I don't think that's on the company as much as the modders being slow to update.

Thinking about trying Prison Architect for the first time soon, with the latest and seemingly final update (The Sunset) as well as the two free DLCs (Cleared for Transfer and Free for Life).

Any mods I should absolutely use on a first playthrough? I've sifted very quickly through the Steam Workshop and only found the following two mods which look like they might be worth installing:

- Ozone's Fixes & Qol All-In-One
- Additional Sprites (for Guards, Staff and Emergency)

Are these mods recommended? Any others?

In the future, I'll definitely try some of the TCs like Back in the Day (1920s), Prisoners of War - Reinstated (WWII) or even Fallout Vault. But I first want to play the OG.

Anyone?

Bumping this because I just started playing this because it was 80% off on Steam, which I suppose is ironic and I have a distinct advantage as people with little prison knowledge probably don't know what a lot is at first whereas I know it all.

I also suppose it's the next best thing since Prisonscape never got off the ground and is now abandonware. Oh well. At least I got to be in the game still in the Beta release:

So I enjoy it. It's hilarious running the prison and being on the other side of the fence, so to speak, and getting mad at my inmates when they cause problems and are being bitches.

I don't love everything about it. It lacks depth and from what I've read about the DLCs they don't add a lot and don't actually add the things that would make sense in a prison building sim game, which is A LOT.

It also gets kinda chaotic with so many NPCs running around and since they don't always look that much different it's easy to miss them and get lost.

Oh, I realized after buying this on Steam I have a sealed Limited Run Games physical copy for the PS4 that I must have purchased at some point lol

You try Back to the Dawn?
