Cheater panel
Best Tropico 5 Mods
If you’ve always wanted to feel like a benevolent God devastating an entire ecosystem, then the DarthPresident Cheater Panel should be right for you. With this mod, you can control things like natural disasters, wars, and monetary income.
Sure it’s cheating (hint in the name), but it’s definitely a lot of fun. It should be noted that it cannot be used in multiplayer.
Citizen review
Best Tropico 5 Mods
It’s natural to wish you could do more for your citizens, like poison them, put them in rehab, or have them give birth right away. Fortunately, there is a mod for this.
Once again, sourced from modder DarthPresident, the Citizen Overhaul mod allows you to perform more actions related to your citizens.
There is a cost associated with each action, but don’t worry, they can be disabled in the settings menu.
All Unlimited Buildings 2.0
Best Tropico 5 Mods
The All Buildings Unlimited 2.0 mod removes those pesky building limits allowing you to build however you want. However, only a few buildings apply, but the most popular options are covered, including banks, nuclear power plants, and city parks.
While it eliminates the roofs associated with each type of building, it does not allow you to profit from the additional buildings you build.
Drug traffic
Best Tropico 5 Mods
Do you want to channel your inner Pablo Escobar? Yes? So look no further than the DarthPresident drug trafficking mod. You can add plenty of barbiturates and stimulants to your world, such as cannabis, coke, cocaine, opium, morphine, heroin, and pain relievers, among others.
You will also have access to all associated facilities such as hydroponic plants and plantations.
Silent selection
Best Tropico 5 Mods
Sometimes it’s those little quality of life mods that can make all the difference in a game like Tropico 5. This mod eliminates that annoying clicking noise every time you select a building.
It could be the difference between pretend play happiness and a desk-shaped hole in the wall. The mod is similar to the No Bells mod from Tropico 4.
The rebels attack the military
Best Tropico 5 Mods
This OPTWood mod pushes rebels to attack military bases in their spare time. It definitely adds a new dynamic to the world, making it seem like a controversial and ever-changing landscape. The rebels will attack all military buildings, including all nuclear and space programs.
This setting manages to eliminate some of the frustration associated with the game’s military systems, making them more user-friendly.
New food crops
Best Tropico 5 Mods
This majestic mod adds new varieties of crops to your repertoire. Rice, beans, and tomatoes are all present. They can be exported, consumed locally, or supplied to grocery stores / supermarkets, and they add happiness to your population.
This mod is perfect for adding a new coat of paint to your daily chores, and after all, who doesn’t love rice, beans, and tomatoes?
Huge big deposits
Best Tropico 5 Mods
This mod allows you to trade in bulk and be a general big business tycoon. Multiply the initial default amount of all fields and work on offshore oil and fishing. Recent updates have added actual quantities rather than generic labels on the fishing grounds.
It should be noted that the mod will automatically adjust the multiplier down (separately for each deposit) to avoid deposits of more than 2 billion.
Mass update
Best Tropico 5 Mods
Mass Upgrader offers players the ability to make special massive upgrades to a variety of buildings. The mod creates a completely new building type called Upgrader’s Tower, which allows buildings to be upgraded in batches, saving a lot of time.
With this mod, electrification is rendered obsolete by this mod. If you have both installed, the updates created by electrify will not work.
Magic Forest
Best Tropico 5 Mods
With the Magic Forest mod, you can periodically create forests anywhere you want. Add a new building called Magic Forest that when placed, a forest will instantly grow around it. You can also set the exact type of trees you want by delving into the settings menu.
