I am not sure why I watched a video with a bunch of Kool-aid man advertisments.

OK for 1.9.0

ok for 1.8.6

ok for 1.8.4

ok for 1.8.3

COMPATCHED TO 1.7.2

@casual
Thank you for the feedback! While I would argue that closed border laws literally blocking all migration, including internal ones, is ahistorical and silly, I understand that is what paradox intended and understand the sentiment that you might wish to go back to it.

As to your suggestion, I can see a few ways that a mod could provide a work around. I will give it some though since I now have picked up a tiny bit of experience with migration modding.

(continued)

As I player, I couldn't do anything about unemployment, since local Albanians could not fill ownership jobs or educated government jobs. Similarly, nothing about turmoil until it just very very slowly died off. Outgoing mass migrations that are supposed to reduce turmoil and free up space were very minor and insufficient.

So to sum things up, I'm thinking this would be a reasonable change:
1. Pops qualified for high-income jobs and ownership should migrate to the state where those jobs are available, even if there's general (unqualified) unemployment in the state (or turmoil).
2. If there is not yet any CC for any accepted culture in a state, the probability for a CC for 1 accepted culture to spawn should be increased by like 10x (it can still despawn after 3 weeks and be replaced with another one soon).

Thanks for the mod, it made 1.6.1 playable. Unsubscribing for now since 1.6.2 hotfix.

There's one more thing about migration I would love to be able to change/fix, but I don't know if it's moddable or if you are interested.

Yesterday on 1.6.2 tried to just conquer 1 foreign undeveloped state with mild unemployment, e.g. Albania as Russia. Result: even with Greener grass campaign and migration attraction ~50 vs market average 22, not a single soul migrates to the state for >10 years. I suppose, either local unemployment or 50% turmoil from conquest blocks migration directly, not just through lowering migration attraction.

CCs would spawn and disappear after 3 weeks, even sometimes (when lucky) CCs for accepted cultures, but those cultures would just keep migrating elsewhere within the country but not to Albania. I've confirmed it's not specifically a CC issue by enabling assimilation of Albanians to Russians and forcing a CC that way.

@ElHomieDerp
You need to get lucky so that a cc spawns, having a port and trade center helps, greener grass helps alot. But in general you just need time.

Veracrus is not Spanish, it is Mexican
Texas is not Spanish, it is Dixie. (with 4 other CCs but none of those are Spanish)

Spain is in Europe, Spanish people won't find the idea of moving to the americas tempting unless it's a mass migration. (which sadly cannot happen within a market)

Your people will only set down roots in lands "too foreign" occasionally.

then how do you make them mirgate?

Mod works, please learn how the game works.

@ElHomieDerp
Pop's can't do internal migration unless the target state has a cultural community.

doesn't work. Playing as Spain and conquered Mexico, Literally none of the Spanish pops weren't migrating to Veracruz or Texas.

also, load this mod at the very bottom of your playset

@大猪蹄子
I have tested as qing, mod works.

I don't know what your problem is exactly, but mod works for me and many others. perhaps i need to inform you on how this works:
1) You need to restart your launcher if it tells you that the mod's "metadata is missing" (yellow caution icon)
2) Validate files to be safe, it's better than unsubbing and resubbing
3) Migration starts on Jan 14th

I reiterate, this mod works.

@大猪蹄子
alright, since this is the second report i will look into this.
When i last tested this isn't true (you can see qing migrating in the screenshot) but i will investigate

NO immigration control

It works for every country but Qing, though I've reinstalled it for several times.Could you figure out WHY?

It would be really nice If i don't have to wake up to comments of people with skill issues on mod installation for once.

@每日一皮
Mod works for qing games.

Your MOD is invalid in games that start with the Qing Dynasty. Thank you very much if you can find the problem and solve it.

GOOD！！

Hero！

Oh Yeah!

Our hero！

@Khaya Ashur Only IG happiness.

@Ferrous

Okay so is there any difference if I have migration controls enacted or not?

@Khaya Ashur
This mod simply makes it so everyone can migration, although discriminated pops naturally migrate less, so it's not as big a deal.

So even with Migration Controls pops can migrate now except discriminated ones?

@刘狗蛇
The main side effect is that everyone is allowed to migrate with this mod on.
I would argue this is a realistic change however, especially if you consider in the basegame "Closed borders" also stops internal migration.

Effective border controls basically is a post WWII invention.

Very cool mod. Those idiots at Paradox should be ashamed. But will this mod have any side effects?

good to know!

after testing, laws & authority was the one causing issues

@lister
This mod should be very compatible, but load it at the bottom of the playset to be safe

it didn't work for me, does other mods effect this mod's function?

It works.

works on my machine

Works for me too

=D

I can confirm that even having opened China's borders, nothing moved before using the mod.
Now it is properly working, thanks.

mod has been confirmed multiple times to be both needed and works

(of course, you should console command it so they don't have closed borders first, you will see)

@see two
it doesn't affect every nation. Look at china for example without the mod

idk what you on about, it works fine for me without the mod

@see two
To elaborate: Right now in the basegame (1.6.1), any nation with migration controls or closed borders would stop migration in other countries.

Lanfang can stop Qing from having any migration, for example.

By neutering the laws that is avoided.

@see two
laws no longer block migration. that's it.

so, what's different

@Panix
I've posted a screenshot of Russia getting migration with this mod.

@Panix
it works. Try verifying files.
