OverTheCounter for Schedule I
OverTheCounter is a comprehensive logistics expansion for Schedule I, compatible with both IL2CPP and Mono branches. Features physical Manager automation, 24/7 market access via "Executive Privilege," high-stakes "Desperation" daytime deals, a tiered OTC customer app SaaS scam, and manual cash-laundering via the "Rinse Cycle" questline.
DUAL BUILD: This mod ships both OverTheCounter.Il2Cpp.dll and OverTheCounter.Mono.dll.
If using a mod manager, SwapperPlugin (included as a dependency) automatically loads the correct DLL for your game branch.
If installing manually, only copy the DLL that matches your game branch — see instructions below.
Features
1. The Manager Update (Endgame Automation)
Stop running errands. Start running an empire.
A complete, simulation-based automation system built on S1API for maximum compatibility (works seamlessly alongside k0Mods).
- True Logistics: Hire physical Manager NPCs at your Laundromat, Post Office, Car Wash, or Taco Ticklers.
- Supply Routes: Managers automatically physically visit stores to keep your shelves stocked with essential ingredients (fertilizer, chemicals, etc.).
- Distribution Routes: Assign up to 3 custom logic routes per manager. They move product from Container A to Container B, allowing you to chain storage containers across the map.
- The Cost of Business: Managers cost $350/day (paid from their locker's petty cash) and report their status via a daily summary text.
- "Executive Privilege" Quest: A new endgame questline. Prove your worth to the Night Market Boss in the downtown high-rises by crafting high-value Weed ($105+), Meth ($200+), and Cocaine ($400+) mixes. Success unlocks 24/7 Night Market access for your automation network.
2. Smart Logistics UI (Quality of Life)
No more mental math. No more clicking back and forth.
- The Contract Aggregator: Merges all active orders into a single "Pending Deliveries" list, grouped by time window. See exactly what you need for the next run at a glance.
- Smart Fill — Storage: Open any container to see a live manifest of what you need vs. what you have. One click pulls the exact product into your inventory, prioritizing jars over baggies.
- Smart Fill — Handover: During a contract handover, click once to fill the bare minimum (quality-aware, smallest packaging first). Click again to boost until acceptance hits 95%+.
3. Dynamic World Events
The city feels alive, and the market is volatile.
- The "Desperation" System: Breaks the "wait for night" meta.
- Daytime Rush: High-addiction "Fiends" trigger urgent orders between 08:00 and Curfew.
- High Risk/High Reward: strict 2-hour deadlines with a +45% payout bonus. Missing the deadline boosts the Cartel's reputation, not yours.
- Drifter Encounters: Random NPCs spawn throughout the city offering one-time deals via text.
- The Risks: Encounter Whales (bulk buyers), Robbers (ambushes), or Narcs (police stings).
- Scaling: Spawn rates increase as you unlock more regions.
4. Progression & Economy
You have to earn your tools.
- "OverTheCounter" (OTC) App: The customer list is no longer free.
- SaaS Model: Purchase software tiers ($3k - $12k) to unlock features like Region Sorting, Addiction Indicators, and GPS Customer Tracking.
- Subscription: Failure to pay the $1,000/week server rent disables the app.
- Early Game Laundering:
- Meet Vic: A corrupt associate who offers manual cash laundering once you hit the $10k weekly ATM limit.
- Risk vs. Reward: Pay a 17-20% fee to clean dirty cash early, bridging the gap between street dealing and owning legitimate businesses.
5. Customizable Minimap (UI & Navigation)
- Opt-In UI: The minimap is turned OFF out of the box. You must enable it first (see the Configuration section below).
- Total Control: Choose between a circular or square map, adjust the size, set your screen anchor, and use a custom zoom cycle hotkey (Default: N).
- Icon Filtering: Keep your screen clean by toggling exactly which POIs show up, from active customers to your newly hired Managers.
Multiplayer Support
Built from the ground up for co-op.
- Host-Authoritative: Quest progress, Manager routes, and OTC subscriptions sync flawlessly between host and clients.
Requirements & Installation
Using a mod manager (recommended)
Install OverTheCounter from Thunderstore using r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager, or Gale. When prompted to install dependencies, click Yes — the mod manager will download and configure everything for you, including:
- S1API — modding API layer
- SwapperPlugin — automatically detects your game branch (IL2CPP or Mono) and loads the correct DLL. No manual steps needed.
- SteamNetworkLib — multiplayer sync (single-player works fine without it, but there's no harm in having it installed)
Launch the game. That's it.
Manual installation
If you prefer not to use a mod manager, you'll need to install each dependency yourself.
- Install MelonLoader v0.7.0.
- Install S1API (ifBars fork) — modding API layer. Make sure to pick the version matching your game branch (IL2CPP or Mono).
- (Multiplayer only) Install SteamNetworkLib — required for multiplayer sync. Again, pick the version matching your game branch.
- Download the latest OverTheCounter release. It includes two DLLs:
OverTheCounter.Il2Cpp.dll — for the IL2CPP branchOverTheCounter.Mono.dll — for the Mono branch
- Copy only the DLL that matches your game branch into your
Mods folder. Do not install both — loading the wrong DLL will crash MelonLoader. SwapperPlugin is not needed for manual installs.
- Launch the game.
Configuration
Settings are stored in MelonLoader's config file and organized into nine categories:
- Desperation System — Enable/disable toggle, fiend addiction threshold, trigger chance per hour, max daily events, response/delivery deadlines, bonus multiplier, relationship penalty, cooldown, and active hours.
- Vic Laundering — Tier costs, returns, trust unlock threshold, and intro quest requirements.
- Static Subscription — Weekly billing cost, cycle length, ATM deposit trigger, and tier upgrade costs/requirements.
- Contract Notifications — Enable/disable toggle, consolidation threshold (minimum contracts before grouping kicks in).
- Manager System — Daily wage and signing fee.
- Executive Privilege (Bella) — Minimum weed, meth, and cocaine mix value thresholds for the quest.
- Drifter System — Enable/disable toggle, spawn chance per hour, max active drifters, active hours, offer window, delivery deadline, linger duration, and minimum deal value.
- Minimap — Enable/disable toggle (off by default), size, zoom level, toggle key (default: N), screen position, circle/square shape, rotate-with-player, border color/width, and icon scale. Invalid values are automatically corrected.
- Minimap POIs — Per-category toggles for potential customers, unlocked customers (off by default), dealers, dead drops, contracts, quests, properties, and managers.
Every setting includes a full description visible in ModsApp by k0Mods (recommended, open-source). Also compatible with Mod Manager & Phone App (descriptions not supported). You can always edit the config file directly if you prefer.
In multiplayer, the host's settings are automatically synced to all clients (except local-only preferences like consolidation settings).
