Getting frustrated with The Movies? Below are a couple of little tweaks I put together to make the game a bit easier. Nothing too unbalancing, just minor adjustments to make it more enjoyable.

Tired of "poor crew" ratings for your movies? This mod gives your employees more initial experience and allows many of them to learn more quickly.

Movie crews, janitors, builders, writers, and researchers all start at 50% experience instead of 10%. Movie crews, stars, directors, and researchers will all gain experience twice as fast as before.

If you continue playing an old save game after installing this mod, there will be no change to any existing workers or stars. Only newly-created employees will show the effects.

Complete installation instructions and usage tips are included in the zip file.

Are your job queues empty? When you have such a famous studio, you would think more people would be begging to work for you! This mod provides 50% more people looking for work outside the Stage School, the Crew Quarters, and the Staff Office. Now you can add the full entourage demanded by your fussy stars.

If you continue playing an old save game after installing this mod, you will have to destroy the Stage School and Crew Quarters and rebuild them to get extra people lining up there.

I would like to acknowledge CyberOps' great employee-increasing mod, he showed the way and provided the inspiration for this mod. My version doesn't add quite as many workers as his or modify as many game files. CyberOps' mod can be found at The Movies Workshop.
