My first MOD, after all these years. It has been a great learning curve and many thanks to everyone who have helped and answered my sometimes 'muppet questions'
This MOD has :
1. New buildings
2. New products
3. New product manufacturing processes
Can you expand your Coffee Shop business into other parts of the retail sector and become the best of the best not just in the Coffee Shop world.
This MOD also has a scenario.
Please leave feedback good and bad. I have not finished it yet; so will post updates with the changes/additions going forward.
Many thanks

I'm currently focused on translating Brazilian Portuguese, but in the long term I want to take the risk of making a MOD, how did you generate these beautiful images? Which website?

Hi, thanks.
Which images?
I followed the 'Advanced Modding Guide' by Stylesj! the link is here.

Looks good, I can see that you have broken up the products into many different categories, which is a great idea as the earlier mod versions were showing a really long list of products in the same category:

- Products.png (108.05 KiB) Viewed 3161 times
I also noticed that some of the products have very high or very low levels of profit. For example the Bread above has a profit of $240 per citizen which is really high.
Other examples like the BLT have an even higher level:

- BLT.png (34.13 KiB) Viewed 3161 times
This is in many ways unbalancing as it makes those products really, really profitable to the exclusion of everything else.
Some minor issues I noticed as well:
There are also no defined plans for the farms (I know that a lot of mods don't have these but I think it would be good to get all new mods to have them):

- Farm.png (49.64 KiB) Viewed 3161 times
This is another minor thing but the Livestock Raising/Processing units don't have their own images:

- FarmImages.png (137.42 KiB) Viewed 3161 times
Compare this to the milk unit:

- Milk.png (153.35 KiB) Viewed 3161 times
You can add these by looking in the Images\Jobs folder and just put the images for the relevant product there.
I also noticed that the Costa Superstore, Costa R&D and Costa Meat don't have any internal Firm Images (all the others have though so that is good):

- FirmImages.png (257.22 KiB) Viewed 3161 times
The new buildings look really good:

- CostaBuildings.png (450.16 KiB) Viewed 3161 times

There's something I can do to solve it? I really liked the mod and want to test it!
