Storyteller-Ann

A storyteller focused on the classic rags to riches story, with a few surprises thrown in to spice things up. The goal of this mod is not to drastically change up gameplay, but to provide a sort of Vanilla+ experience that is a bit more challenging and doesn't butt heads with any other storytellers or the core games default balance. Storyteller configurations are about the same as Ricardo, however: - Starting funds are set to 0 - job performance threshold for strikes is set to 25, so its a bit harsher To make gameplay a bit more unique, Ann comes with some custom card packs that appear along side the normal cards. Since I don't want to mess with the starting tutorial hand you get on the first night, Ann also provides a unique life goals card called "Humble beginnings" which prompts you to purchase your first lot, the reward for completing this goal is a starter bed. --- Care Pack Cards focused on relieving low needs, to help with rough early game so you don't meet an untimely demise just trying to find somewhere to sleep.

Cards in here can grant great benefit or terrible misfortune.

It's a much harder start, but once you're established it should be the same as playing the game normally A known issue is when starting a game with a household loaded from the library, you will not start with 0 funds. a temporary workaround is to open the cheat menu with 'control + shift + c' and type " SETMONEY 0 " --- Standalone Household for Ann here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3735935179
