Before you install
Version 1.5.4 is available on Nexus Mods and Steam Workshop. The current Nexus release lists Bannerlord's Native, SandBoxCore and Sandbox modules at version 1.4.8, Harmony 2.4.2.225 and Mod Configuration Menu 5.11.4.
Install the required dependencies for MCM as directed on its own page, and enable them before Town Vitality.
Installation
- Install Harmony and Mod Configuration Menu with their required dependencies.
- Download Town Vitality from Nexus Mods or subscribe on Steam Workshop. For a manual installation, extract WPS_TownVitality into Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\.
- Open Singleplayer → Mods in the launcher. Enable the official campaign modules, the dependencies and WPS Town Vitality.
- Start or load a campaign, then open the Town Vitality settings in Mod Options.
Food and prosperity
Town Vitality helps you tune the balance between settlement prosperity, food consumption and food supply. Its settings cover towns and castles.
Prosperity Penalty Rebalance reduces how sharply the food penalty grows in very prosperous settlements. Agricultural Growth adds a food-production bonus above a prosperity threshold.
Food Storage Scaling increases storage as prosperity rises. Surplus Food Prosperity Control changes how much surplus food contributes to further prosperity growth.
- Adjust food consumption and food production separately so you can see which change is helping the settlement.
- Use the food and prosperity breakdowns in the settlement screen to check the result of your settings.
Militia, construction and AI settlements
Militia Growth adds a prosperity-based bonus to daily militia growth. Construction Bonus adds building progress above the prosperity threshold.
Each system can be configured separately, including whether its benefit applies to AI settlements. A feature's AI toggle only controls its scope; the feature itself must also be enabled and have an effective value.
- Start with the system you want to change, then adjust its bonus gradually while watching the settlement's daily figures.
- If a setting appears to do nothing, check its enable switch and bonus value as well as its AI scope.
- If a bonus is much larger than expected, lower the factor and review the prosperity threshold before raising other settings.
Compatibility and help
Other settlement mods may also change food, militia, storage, prosperity or construction. Check the settlement's displayed breakdown when combining them, especially after changing several settings at once.
If the settings panel is missing, check that MCM and its dependencies are enabled and load before Town Vitality.
For help, include your Bannerlord, Town Vitality, Harmony and MCM versions, your active mod list, the affected settlement, its prosperity, your relevant settings and the result you expected.
