NVM must not work anymore, at least it doesn't for me. Tried a new game after a restart.

where the heck do you find this to change the values in the mod folder?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\289070
> but which folder?

This mod works as of February 2025. Worked great for me.

For me, it works fine when starting a game in both Single-Player and Multi-Player: it set the gold value to 35000 gold.

I haven't done any edits to the default config file, only used it out of the "+ Subscribe" box.
Additional notes: I have no other mods, but I have the DLCs.

How do I edit the amount of gold to start with?

Bless you for making this!
FiauraTheTankGirl 15 Oct, 2023 @ 10:27pm 
do you have a version that works on multiplayer to give all the players the bonus?
xekkk 26 May, 2023 @ 12:21pm 
For MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 PlayerGoldBoost.lua is in ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/289070/1351957908/

first, the mod works fine. try it as your only mod, and you will see.

second, for every mod, the location on your HD is also the location in the html address of the mod's page.

so this page is https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1351957908

that last number is the folder name on your HD 1351957908

go to wherever you installed steam, and then \SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\289070\1351957908\

the 289070 folder is for all the Civ 6 mods

Unknown_Endings 2 Nov, 2022 @ 10:57am

Eykonal 22 Oct, 2022 @ 7:06am 
Hey anthrax, you can go to the steamapps/workshop/civ6/1351957908 folder and edit it yourself
AnThRaX 10 Oct, 2022 @ 5:11am 
Hey everyone !!

The mods are cool but a litlle too much faith or gold for me.
Can you give me the acces path for .lua file to lower the amout of gold and faith.
An Armored Walrus 1 Oct, 2022 @ 10:53am 
Doesnt work. Started 10 new games and none have the gold. Stop lying to us cause you are lazy.
Teodoric II 21 May, 2022 @ 8:10am 
Can confirm it works (have all expansions). I noticed certain mods wont work if you load a configuration when you Create a New Game so you'll have to make a new one from scratch
Rachid 8 Apr, 2022 @ 5:42am 
Those who say it still works, please for the love of God how?! i tried multiple times, multiple starts, doesn't work at all.
Father John 7 Jan, 2022 @ 12:33am 
Can confirm this does still work, as of January 2022. I own RF & GF too. Thanks for the mod!
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] 6 Jan, 2022 @ 3:11am 
I now own both RnF and GS, Test all of my civ 6 mod there and all works fine. If this mod didnt work with you, you have a mod conflict.
cmdrwhitewolf 19 Oct, 2021 @ 7:26pm 
Found this answer for modding the Start value of the gold (the lua pack file "PlayerGoldBoost.lua" the author mentions):

--------------------------------------------------

@Nomsgoadpls: Go to the ff folder:
\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\289070\

I forgot the number code folder of this mod so when you're at the 289070 folder (Civ 6 mod folder location), do seach for the file name PlayerGoldBoost (It should be a lua file)
Edit it on Notepad++ or any editor and look for the line:

local PlayerGold = 35000

Change the 35k to your desire amount.
Richard Santos 23 Sep, 2021 @ 5:56pm 
How do I change the start gold value? Talk to me like I'm stupid if that is the kind of thing that gets your rocks off, as long as I learn something, I'll call it a fair transaction. lol
Frig 21 Aug, 2021 @ 6:53am 
how do i open the lua pack
BadaBingNuts 17 Jul, 2021 @ 5:22pm 
Yeah mod doesn't work anymore.
R 1 Jun, 2021 @ 1:07am 
The mod works in Play A Game, but does not load in Create A Game? Any updates on the horizon?
LiquidSmote 29 May, 2021 @ 3:40pm 
After experimenting; there is a maximum amount of gold you may edit into the LUA file. Large number including just 9mil make your starting gold go crazy. After numerous attempts, I stopped at 5.5 mi successfully.
LiquidSmote 29 May, 2021 @ 3:07pm 
This mod makes you start the game bankrupt. 0 Gold.
speedscot 29 May, 2021 @ 11:56am 
Game says this is enabled but I don't get any gold at the start.
Frank Savage 23 May, 2021 @ 11:59pm 
This works at present, post NFP expac May 2021
Happy 16 Dec, 2020 @ 2:44pm 
LJmiranda you open it with notepad then just add as many O's as you want then save and exit
LJMiranda 17 Nov, 2020 @ 9:13pm 
Great, so how do I edit the lua file?
Venboven 26 Sep, 2020 @ 5:03pm 
Finally! A decent cheat mod. All I want is to buy a few settlers really early so that I can expand into my land before the stupid AI does. The gold is a bit high, but I can waste it on builders and delete them if I want.
D34DLY 17 Sep, 2020 @ 7:19pm 
works for me. can buy lots of slingers and clubbers for early domination victory. Probably just going to use this once, but nice mod.
Father John 15 Sep, 2020 @ 8:31am 
Yep, still working as of Sep 2020
Thumper 5 Feb, 2020 @ 12:15pm 
help, mod not working.
planescaped 31 Jan, 2020 @ 3:11pm 
You can find it by default in your Steam/steamapps/workshop/content folder, for me it's in a folder just titled 289070 then 1351957908
YYew 22 Dec, 2019 @ 11:19pm 
how do you change starting gold.
[B]ealion♥ ҉҈҉҈҈҉҈҉҈ 11 Nov, 2019 @ 10:34am 
Hi, i tried to, but unable to find the file and code to change income per turn, but only managed to edit gold at start.
Chill 30 Oct, 2019 @ 3:27pm 
How do you change the amount of $$$
yvonne.taggart 25 Oct, 2019 @ 4:58pm 
can this mod be updated for gathering storm
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] 5 Sep, 2019 @ 11:26am 
[V]engeance♥ ҉҈҉҈҈҉҈҉҈҉҈҉҈҉҈҉҈ ♥: Are you sure this one is the cause of your crash? because the code is extremely easy and will ONLY run on new game start. nothing follows. Kindly check if you got any other mod. The last time I tested this was on june, I didnt receive any crashes.

Also, for the edit, kindly read the previous comments, I think it's on page 2 or 3. :v
[B]ealion♥ ҉҈҉҈҈҉҈҉҈ 3 Sep, 2019 @ 8:19am 
This mod seems to be crashing the game? It was well all along until, it starts to auto close the game?
[B]ealion♥ ҉҈҉҈҈҉҈҉҈ 3 Sep, 2019 @ 4:51am 
How do I edit income per turn? This mod is like inflation! basically every cost increase like mad LOL
marques.varnado 12 Aug, 2019 @ 9:45am 
@Red-Eyed_Fairace: What is the 1 specific thing you need to change to get this amount on every turn?
pauls1842 7 Aug, 2019 @ 6:08am 
does anyone know how to change the playergoldboost on a Mac?
Parsley IV 18 Jul, 2019 @ 9:05am 
Doesn't seem to work anymore?
Notorious_manc 13 Jul, 2019 @ 6:49am 
how do i download this
Red-Eyed_Gelynome  [author] 3 Jul, 2019 @ 4:54am 
poupesque: you can do it yourself if you like to. I can tell you which 1 specific thing you need to change.

The only problem is, you'll get that specific amount after 1 or 2 turns. THEN, starting EVERY TURN, you'll get that amount. so basically, infinite money.

To prevent that, after you got the money, save, then exit then disable the mod then load. :v

ikaretakk: Kindly read the previous comments, you'll find it very useful ;D
poupesque 1 Jul, 2019 @ 3:53pm 
i m interested to have this bonus every turns ; could you do it ?
