leeroybrown Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 RISKY BUSINESS JANUARY 1985 A TEW 2020 MOD BY JAYSIN AND MATTYWOOD So after playing this beloved game in its many, many iterations over the years and a love of Pro Wrestling since I could walk (I'm now officially middle aged ) I have picked up the baton from Jaysin with his blessing to complete the Risky Business beta mod. When I say help, I mean that this is not all my handy work by any stretch of the imagination. All the hard work credit goes to firstly Jaysin and Mattywood as this is quite simply their mod. Also further credits go to Hammerglenn, Alvarasus, Mammoth, Oyaji, Derek B, Idolized, RayW, Kryptonite, Beejus, Bro4dway, Smasher1311, Taker, lovegun77, Hive, Genadi, Sco xY2Jx, Walrus and SlimJim. I have simply edited it further to I hope a more pleasurable place so we can all enjoy it like I currently am. I am not looking for kudos or credit (as I don't deserve any!!!) as lets face it I haven't put in the hard mileage those guys have, full stop. But I just couldn't let such an amazing mod and time period fall by the wayside. Thanks goes to Gazwefc83, Justtxyank and sabin357 for the crazy pic pack that makes this game now far more immersive than before!!! Amazing!!! If I have missed anyone in the credits please let me know!!!! Important to note is that when playing you will need to check the events to make them active as they are currently mostly dormant (e.g. Wrestlemania when playing as WWF) . I will be consistently tweaking and editing so any feedback will be appreciated to make this amazing time in history more enjoyable for all of us.

neslo024 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 i just downloaded this and the picture pack is empty besides the people folder. Really excited to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeroybrown Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 That's strange, all folders are there when I open it. I have posted an alternative link on Mediafire, please let me know if it works for you. I've just downloaded it myself from Mediafire and all pics and folders are there, so hopefully will be all ok for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManillaRd Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 i just downloaded this and the picture pack is empty besides the people folder. Really excited to give it a try. You need to install both pic packs, the two links have different packs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to remove it if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubikiri Asa Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Mattywood is Matt Shannon, so it's just a name change and not two separate persons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infinitehallway Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 How far into the future can you play this? Just a rough estimate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeroybrown Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 How far into the future can you play this? Just a rough estimate? Huge question and I haven't tested its longevity past 5 years. There are lots and lots of future workers, all the way till workers debuting in the early 2000's. So At least a good 15 to 18 years.... Might be a good shout to add more workers and I shall indeed now....how many years do you usually play for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't usually get time to invest in a game, so I'm a bad judge. 5-8 sounds good, any more than that is a bonus. I'm looking for a golden era game, so this sounds like the one!

Lukkearthur Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Ive been playing the original Jaysin version and really enjoying it. What would you suggest importing into my save, is it import friendly (i.e. have you renamed any workers or just added new ones) so that I can import without risking any worker dupes. Thank you very much for picking this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you suggest importing into my save, is it import friendly (i.e. have you renamed any workers or just added new ones) so that I can import without risking any worker dupes. Thank you very much for picking this up. Not many new workers, I am currently working on them now (jobbers and future workers). Shouldn't be any issue in importing. Main changes so far are re-worked stats across majority of workers, worker potentials, worker attributes, pictures matched up (events, belts, tv etc), company AI behaviour fixes, more stable names, tag teams. Just trying to put finishing touches on an already great mod and ensuring it had a place to live where it can be found front and centre.

Theheel Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 This has always been a good mod and was looking for an 85-89 mod. Thanks for doing this and bringing it into TEW 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarelskovic Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 hey great mod thanks guys. just one thing, i simed few years and i noticed that all the companies automatically set their events to dormant why is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeroybrown Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 hey great mod thanks guys. just one thing, i simed few years and i noticed that all the companies automatically set their events to dormant why is that?That is due to many companies having their schedule set as TV or Monthly. If the promotion has a TV Show then it will set the events to Dormant. I will tweak this in 4.3. I would suggest putting some to fixed (like WWF and JCP). But I have pretty much finished that now so will upload a quick version. The Agers...are taking an...... Here is the updated data that will mostly fix that to a degree, not finished completely for 4.3 but should make events run more realistically: Version 4.2b https://www.mediafire.com/file/x3tn4251khp89ye/1985_-_4.2b.zip/file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingRider Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Love to see this being worked on. Poked around a bit and things look pretty good. One odd thing I noticed was Riki Choshu having the "scumbag" personality trait. I'll share any other feedback as I find it. Thanks again!
