Great time period for a mod! Best of luck with it, looking forwards to seeing the result

The game sounds great, I really loved CBH back in the day so I’d love to give CBU a try when it’s out. Unfortunately though I’ll have to give it a skip if it’s PC exclusive. I hope you reconsider adding Mac support for this one. Either way - best of luck with the game and I’m excited to keep up with the news!

This is a really nice skin, thank you for this. With the work you've done here, are you able to update the Skin Creator Resource thread?

Ah, that's a shame. I have it running on another PC atm anyway so I'll just give up trying to get it to work on Big Sur.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll have to try this at some point. In the meantime, another issue I had on CrossOver was that when the worker/company images are shown as smaller versions (Creative Meeting screen, for example) the quality would get extremely bad. Did you find a fix for this, too?

Waiting for Parallels to release the new version to hopefully run on M1 chips but I foresee it costing me a small fortune. Need to decide how badly I want to play TEW haha.

It might be too late past the development stage to ask this, but is there any way we can convince GDS to make a Mac port? I'm in a pool of people who have upgraded their Macs this year only to find TEW2020 is not able to run, even through Wine or CrossOver. We're patiently waiting for Parallels to release their latest app version but it will cost us more than double the cost of TEW2020. As such, if a Mac port was released at a higher price than the Windows port, guaranteeing native support, I'd be happy to spend that extra bit of cash to support GDS in doing so and I'm sure many others would be, too.

I've been doing a Local to Global on the Jan2004 mod and it's been really, really fun. Probably the best overall mod available at the moment in my opinion.

<p>Just an update for those upgrading to BigSur on Mac anytime soon - the CrossOver fix isn't as stable as initially thought. Lots of freezing, numerous crashes.</p><p> </p><p> Unsure what to do at this point, as the WineSkin tutorial doesn't seem to work for BigSur.</p>

This would be amazing, but it's probably hell to code such a specific scenario into the game.

I've been playing TEW for years on Mac (using Wineskin, these tutorials have been great!) but after upgrading with the latest OS I think I'm out of luck this time. I've tried everything but just can't get this to work at all. Installation was fine, even managed to license the game, but it won't boot up the game afterwards. EDIT: Quick update, I downloaded the CrossOver 14-day trial and within 2 minutes, TEW2020 is running like a dream. Only takes up about 600mb rather than over a gb too. Obviously CrossOver costs money but for anyone upgrading to BigSur on Mac, this might be the way forward. Super simple set-up too!

I'm 4.5 years into a local to global save using this mod and just wanted to say, again, that it's absolutely incredible work. I already loved the TEW2016 version but playing an updated one on TEW2020 has been a blast so far. My only gripe is that there are a bunch of duplicate workers. I should've taken note of them as they debuted but I stupidly didn't. Off the top of my head - Rene Paquette/Renee Young, Athena/Ember Moon and Apoc/Apocalypse spring to mind. Would be great if you could clean this up for others (I've done it on my end as I see the dupes pop up), but otherwise this mod is stellar. Thanks again for all the work put into this

Will the KTB skins be updated? They're lovely but there's a few screens that are a bit messed up now due to updates.

Awesome, the more choices the merrier. Welcome back!

There's actually an entire mod just for broadcasters, with accurate changes built in. I don't know if it's on this forum though so I'm not sure if I can link it. It's easy to find though.

Oh.

I'd also be happy to help if needed, this was my favourite mod in TEW2016 so I'd love to see it completed.

I feel like the tiny indy companies we play as would benefit far more from a prebooking bonus than the massive titanic companies do. The feature seems tailor made for indies booking a top regional star to boost attendance, and I'm quite shocked that it only counts for bigger companies.

This is good to know, thank you. I'll need to change my prebookings for most of the year's upcoming main events so, haha.

I just went through the handbook and found the answer to my issue there. I think it’s an extremely harsh system, I wonder if Adam would consider toning it down or adding an option to disable it for sandbox saves? Either way, I’m happy I know what to do in the future.

No message in dirt sheet, in fact usually it's only positive notes. It is odd, but I'm not the only person with this confusion so hoping someone here will know.

Can someone please clarify the penalties matches get when workers don't have enough psychology to hold it together? All my matches are getting this even if they're below 10 mins. Most of the workers I book have 70+ psych, averaging around 80-90 usually in the main event scene. I don't understand this feature at all, would love someone to help me. I remember in 2016 Psych was used for calling matches in the ring or slow building, etc. but now it seems engrained in literally everything. Even matches I've ran below 8 minutes that were scripted in the ring are getting penalised, and that's with workers with mid 70's psych anyway. I'm just at a loss as to how to solve this one. It's pretty disheartening to build up a really nice main event, see the workers get 95-100 in-ring performances and then the rating gets pulverised and you're left with a 75-80 match rating.

Is this project dead? <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

This would be nice, but I'd imagine it's something that can't be added to TEW2020, we'll have to wait until TEW202X
