In a recent interview, Tim mentioned briefly that the artwork and colours of BigPharma were similar, and perhaps inspired by Theme Hospital. Theme Hospital was a very influential game for me, and is likely why I have now turned to try my hand a game journalism, so I thought it would be fun to attempt a Theme Hospital themed mod for BigPharma… and here it is!
BigPharma:Theme Hospital Edition renames all the drug effects and side-effects in the game to use names taken directly from (or inspired by) Theme Hospital. In this first version, the events have been tweaked to reflect the new drug names, but some could do with a “logic” pass, as the event cause does not tie up 100% with the effect… but I will continue to work on that, and suggestions are welcome!
Installation
- Download the attached ZIP file and extract it to your BigPharma mods folder (typically C:/users/{Your Username}/Documents/My Games/BigPharma/Mods for windows users).
- Run BigPharma and click “Mods”
- Pick the “Theme Hospital Edition” mod and activate it… the game will restart and you should see “Supporting the Indies” on the loading screen.
All feedback is welcome, including suggestions on how the mod can be improved.
Enjoy… and support the indies!
EDIT: I recorded a 7 Part video series playing Marketing and Malpractice using my Theme Hospital Mod! Check it out!
