ok buying a circus just raised my hap by 3. Maybe just the policy is broken.

mod is broken, only adjusts tooltips, doesn't actually increase happiness from e.g. military caste

So, I play with 300% research cost, so finding alternatives for hapiness is much appreciated.

If you insist on inserting the mod into a pre-existing game, the only way to fix this that I came up with is to
first enter the game without the mod active
manually remove every happiness buildings/policies through IGE
enter the game again with the mod active this time
restore the buildings/policies that you removed.

If you try to remove, then readd the buildings/policies with the mod on, that won't work.
say you have a game without the mod active, and with a colosseum contributing 2 happiness towards your total of 5 happiness. If you activate the mod, the colosseum will still be only providing 2 happiness, but if you remove the colosseum, you will lose 3 happiness, and readding the colosseum will restore the 3 happiness, you are still at a 5 total happiness. So removing the colosseum without the mod on will remove 2 happiness, then readding the colosseum with the mod active will give you 3 happiness, resulting in a total happiness of 6.

To clarify to anyone who reads my comment below, if you go into "buildings" in the mod files you can edit the <UnmoddedHappiness>7</UnmoddedHappiness> line for Circus Maximus and replace the 7 with whatever you want. Since Maximus provides global happiness and not just local happiness, it's a "get out of jail free" card to build if you start having happiness issues and changed it to provide something like 200 (what I have it at). Haven't had to build it but it's nice to have it there. Tried a game before where I spammed every local happiness building and it still didn't fix the issue because of the rate I was conquering cities and it was a real buzz-kill to have to put off invasions while I waited for cities to either burn or build a courthouse. In late game the "broken" boost to golden ages won't matter anyway because golden ages start costing so much anyway, plus obviously A.I. players can always get the building's benefits too.

I know you posted it literally 4 years ago, but amazing mod! Easy to edit the notepad file for things like circus maximum so that it can also essentially serve as a no happiness mod without horribly breaking the game (not being able to annex city states or something?). Playing on a huge Earth map with 42 civs so there's a lot of conquering to do and I'm only going to build the Circus Maximus if I start having trouble with happiness since it will inevitably happen with so many cities to conquer. Thank you!

the problem is it doesn't update for already existing buildings

played a multiplayer polynesia map, used this as one of the core mods!
very balanced and helps with founding cities on small islands
good work!

great mod! really balanced and makes founding 5+ cities eraly game fun!

It doesnt work with the advanced HUD? For some reason all my researches seem "incompleted" (grey)...>?

This mod activates the expansions automatically, even if they're disabled. I really don't want to play the expansions. Is this some kind of bug?

How can I download previous version of this mod?
I want to continue one of my old games with this mod version 1. But it's impossible to load those games without correct version of this "More Happiness" mod. Where and how can I get previous version of this mod? May it be one who could put it on googleDisk or smth?

this mod is very stupid :)

I hope this is no scam :)
