This mod is tested on PC (Windows) only! For other options, see below.
This mod requires the original Summertime Saga of same version to be installed. Take care if you have other mods installed (not recommended). Other mods may only work if they are not modifying the same files as this mod does.
It is recommended to save the unmodded game while the main city map is being displayed, close the game, and then install the mod and load the save.
This archive contains the following files and folders:
images
overlays
scripts
google_translate.rpa
Naughty Tribute Mod Readme.txt
presplash.png
Note: In case that when running the game with the mod installed, you only get to see the loading image (presplash.png, showing Roxxy) and nothing else ever happens, delete the presplash.png file.
Windows:
For mod installation, extract the complete archive into the "<Summertime Saga>\game" folder so that it contains all the files and the folders listed above. Overwrite files and folders that already exist. To be safe, always do a clean install (install game fresh, then mod, without keeping old files).
Start the game. If it crashes at first start, try again once. Ensure that no other mods are installed.
Note: you should install clean, i.e. delete all files from previous versions of the mod before. In case of doubts, install the game new, and then install the mod.
Note: only install matching mods, i.e. the mod and game must be of same base version (e.g. mod version Version 0.18.6-1.0 can only be installed with version 0.18.6 of the game).
Note: It is also possible to install the game on Android and Mac. To do so, install the original game, run it once, and then copy the extracted files and folders contained in the archive, and install optional content if wanted. Caution -- this is not supported in general, but works for the devices mentioned below.
Note: In case you encounter memory errors, it is recommended to install the 4GB patch for 32bit executables from NTCore. Please download the tool from their site and apply it to the file <installation folder>\lib\windows-i686\SummertimeSaga.exe (note: do not apply the patch to the <installation folder>\SummertimeSaga.exe).
Mac:
- "Contents/Resources/autorun/game"
Android:
This time, with Android 11, Google messed it up to near completion. It is no longer allowed for any app, including the Android internal file manager, to access the android/data directory. Therefore, the below description is only valid for Android <= 10.
- Tested to run on Samsung Galaxy S7, Android 8.0.0, and Samsung Galaxy S20, Android 10.
- It may be that the following paths do not have to contain "/sdcard" at the beginning (use "/Android/data/..." instead of "/sdcard/Android/data/...").
- Install mod (directories, plus the files, as listed above) to directory: "/sdcard/Android/data/com.kompasproductions.summertimesaga/files/game".
- If that folder does not exist, run the game once. If still not present, create it manually.
- Install optional content (directory game_overrides) to: "/sdcard/Android/data/com.kompasproductions.summertimesaga/files".
- Put your saves and persistent into "/sdcard/Android/data/com.kompasproductions.summertimesaga/files/saves" if required.
This reddit thread describes the problem and some possible solutions with Android 11:
It appears that some file explorer apps available now support writing to the Androidd/data directory. I verified this with Root Explorer, which allows access even without actually requiring root. In case this no longer works in the future, you may try the following workaround, also described in that thread.
In short:
- Download the app or a similar app that lets you make shortcuts.
- Move the files via drag&drop
- This may be tricky because you cannot easily navigate during that action!
- An easier approach would be if you can connect an external keyboard and use CTRL+X and CTRL+V
Don't blame me, blame Google!
