Ok thank you :104::steamhappy:

Well, kinda two weeks late here due to a bad headache but...

The current version is good for V1.54. Honestly their is very little in the two files thats edited by this mod, so unless they decide to add in new special events upon leveling up this mods likely to stand the test of time.

Ok thank you :104:
Ashenator  [author] 9 Apr @ 4:53pm 
I will take a look at it soon as I can.
patrick_snoeys 9 Apr @ 9:23am 
Can You this update for 1.54 please ?
Ashenator  [author] 29 Jun, 2024 @ 11:52pm 
@Ruan Your looking for bank_data.sii in the universal/def directory.

BTW... If I remember right my payments were actually calculated using the default values just increased due to the interest on the value that you withdraw. ;)

Hi, which file do I access to change the loan? I would like to keep mine with lower daily payments, closer to the real thing. Thanks for your atention!
Ashenator  [author] 24 Apr, 2024 @ 1:35pm 
@Box what level is your character? As the credit lines open up as you level up.

I might just be dumb, but it doesn't work on my part
Ashenator  [author] 4 Sep, 2023 @ 10:42pm 
@Numb Nuts, LOL! Live the American dream my friend!

Thank you all, and I am glad this is still working.

Now I can be in massive debt like a proper American.
Joeyfernandez7111 11 Apr, 2023 @ 5:31am 
nice work
makdayzcorporation 29 Apr, 2022 @ 5:32pm 
Would like to ask in what world do you pay loan payments per day instead of monthly?
Ashenator  [author] 21 Jan, 2022 @ 7:38am 
They do, once you hit level 35.
Cheeki 21 Jan, 2022 @ 12:26am 
Nice mod i think i'll be in debt in no time ;)
I'm dumb and read the description wrong. Thought the loans went up to 10m
Ashenator  [author] 16 Dec, 2021 @ 8:21pm 
Easiest way is to download this mod and use it... You can change the file to your desire from there your Steam workshop directory,) much easier then having to extract the entire game to get the file yourself.
robert.eminenttrans 16 Dec, 2021 @ 6:09pm 
how do you get to bank_data.sii?
Ashenator  [author] 2 Nov, 2021 @ 10:44pm 
Within bank_data.sii you can modify the loans as you desire (use any text editor):

bank_loan_data: bank.data.loan1
{
amount: 125000
interest_rate: 0.23 # 23 %
duration: 8 # in weeks
}

Just change the 0.23 (the percentage amount) to what you choose... Please note this will not effect ANY current loans that had already been accepted, only new loans after it would be modified.
jdc_elite_man 2 Nov, 2021 @ 8:12pm 
Can you increase the loans interest %

Roger roger!
Ashenator  [author] 30 Nov, 2020 @ 12:32am 
Shouldn't be a problem with updates unless the devs decide to add in any level up unlocks / rewards. I dont have easy access to my main PC right now to verify however.
Bolt 30 Nov, 2020 @ 12:07am 
1.39?
jimshaderzc 14 Nov, 2020 @ 2:19pm 
great mod
Danielczech 26 Aug, 2020 @ 1:07pm 
Thx :steamhappy:

I do not have any other mods that alter economy or garage. I did the file verification and tried again and unfortunately it didn't work. Thanks for trying though
Ashenator  [author] 31 May, 2020 @ 9:34pm 
Do you have any mods that alter the garage in any way? As this mod would have nothing to do with that issue. If you do not have any mods that effect the garage I would suggest running a file verification through Steam and see if that solves your issue.
warchhhhh14 31 May, 2020 @ 9:16pm 
after i take out a 1mill loan and try to expand my garage my game crashes
DiuDiu 18 Apr, 2020 @ 3:58am 
And by the way, nice mod.
DiuDiu 18 Apr, 2020 @ 3:58am 
Then that's my fault, thanks for explain that for me.
Ashenator  [author] 17 Apr, 2020 @ 4:19pm 
I just verified I did not change the interest rates...

Vanilla :
bank_loan_data: bank.data.loan4
{
amount: 400000
interest_rate: 0.12 # 10 %
duration: 10 # in weeks
}

Modded :
bank_loan_data: bank.data.loan4
{
amount: 1000000
interest_rate: 0.12 # 10 %
duration: 20 # in weeks
}

However the duration was modified to make the payments easier to achieve.
Ashenator  [author] 17 Apr, 2020 @ 4:04pm 
If I remember right... The mod did not change the way the interest was calculated and I only unlocked the capability to have larger loan amounts.
DiuDiu 17 Apr, 2020 @ 12:35pm 
looks like the interest rate is wrong?
amount: 1000000
interest_rate: 0.12 # 10 %
duration: 20 # in weeks
should it be "interest_rate: 0.10 # 10 %"?

Hitch Trailblazer 18 Jan, 2020 @ 2:40am 
this mod is still working on 1.36 :winter2019happyyul:
Ashenator  [author] 29 May, 2019 @ 8:49pm 
Yes, I just verified the two files for this mod were not changed in the current update. Good to go for V 1.3.5!
sinner 29 May, 2019 @ 12:37pm 
does this work in 1.3.5
Ashenator  [author] 26 Oct, 2018 @ 7:59am 
Updated for 1.3.2
(Trailers will now unlock at level 5)

Increased max credit to $10,000,000 by level 35
Ashenator  [author] 18 Oct, 2018 @ 2:35pm 
This mod does increase the loan options to 500k and also 1 Mill. It also increases the Max Credit Limit...

As soon as I figure out how to update through Steam I have the mod ready for release.
LimeUnlimited 18 Oct, 2018 @ 2:31pm 
To be honest the max amount of loans needs to be changes to something near 500,000. 250,000 is not enough considering prices of trucks and trailers
Ashenator  [author] 10 Oct, 2018 @ 10:09pm 
Due to the trailer ownership update this mod finally actually needs an update that I am now working on. I should have it ready within the next day or two.

Anyone have any thoughts on the loan offering amounts? Are they good as they are here or do they need tweaked further? I could also revert the loan offerings to vanilla offers and just increase the credit limit based on player level progression.
busterbrown1958 28 Mar, 2018 @ 10:03pm 
the game had an update,need to up date this mod please....
DillPlayzYT 28 Jan, 2018 @ 11:33am

The Red Moustache 23 Jan, 2018 @ 4:36am 
i need more xp now, but yea thanks for this it has helped
Drunken Kiwi 24 Aug, 2017 @ 7:32am 
Thx:steamhappy:
Ashenator  [author] 23 Aug, 2017 @ 10:22pm 
Yes, I have just checked to make sure they didn't update anything. Chances are the two files that this mod adjusts wont get changed actually.

Filenames below :
special_event_data.sii
bank_data.sii
Drunken Kiwi 23 Aug, 2017 @ 6:44pm
