This is an ongoing post containing my Tropico 5 Mods and will likely be updated in the future.
Hey there, and thanks for checking out my Tropico 5 (and when it comes out 6) mod page. I also post my mods on Github & tropicomodding.org, but beta mods and the like may appear here before anywhere else. If you aren’t sure how Tropico mods work, check out my post on installing Tropico 5 mods.
My Tropico 5 Mods
Bio-fuel Plant Standalone

Recommended Tropico 5 Mods
Mod Loader – (Required) This one is less of a recommendation, and more of a requirement. DarthPresidente’s mod loader allows for easy scripting for modders, and easy install for users.
Resource Manager – Another DarthPresidente mod, incredibly helpful and allows for a lot more control over resource flow.
Papi Edicts – No longer being maintained, but an awesome well thought out mod. Adds 4 new edicts for every era, very immersive and balanced.
Majestic’s Coffee – A few minor bugs, but a content rich mod that adds an interesting industry to the island.
Drug Trade – (Required for Cannabis Kingdom) Another amazing mod by DarthPresidente, adds more crime, and drugs.
Palace Mover – Pretty much an essential for me. Does what it says. (Originally by Wowiwankenobi, now managed by DarthPresidente)
Forced Labor – Also a super helpful one, keeps you from having too many unemployed, particularly when there are actually jobs available.
