Readable Notes

A BepInEx (mod loader) plugin for Shadows of Doubt. Notes, letters and documents open in the game's clear text font instead of the writer's handwriting.

If it saves you some squinting, please leave a like on the mod's Thunderstore page. It keeps me motivated to make more mods. Donations are welcome too:

What it does

Every citizen writes in their own hand, and some hands are hard to read. The game already has a clear text mode, but you have to press the Aa button on every single window. This mod presses it for you when a window opens, so notes start out readable.

Features

• Job listings, notes, letters, shopping lists, work rotas and other handwritten documents open in clear text
• The Aa button still works: press it to see the original handwriting, and again to switch back
• Only windows that have the Aa button are touched. Printed and typed documents keep their own fonts, and your own sticky notes are left as they are
• Works with the base game, no other mods needed

Config

After one launch, edit with the game closed:

BepInEx/config/sm3gm.wren23.cfg

Setting — Default — Meaning

Text.StartInClearText — true — Open windows in clear text. false turns the mod off without uninstalling it

Install

Thunderstore (the public SoD mod shop) plus BepInExPack IL2CPP. Enable this mod in your profile and launch from the manager. Close the game before editing the config file.
