Ever felt like it’s super annoying and unrealistic that pops take literally forever (like 10 years) if they get unemployed and need to demote to a lower working class? No more… this simple mod fixes the time pops take to demote.

Time pops need to demote to a lower working class after getting unemployed:

Vanilla:
Ruler demotion time => ~ 10 years (~ 3600 days)
Specialist demotion time => ~ 5 years (~ 1800 days)

With this mod:
Ruler demotion time => ~ 4-5 months (~ 144 days)
Specialist demotion time => ~ 2-3 months (~ 72 days)

Unemployment Demotion Time Fix LITE (Link included):
Ruler demotion time => ~ 2 years (~ 720 days)
Specialist demotion time => ~ 1 years (~ 360 days)

… by decreasing the time to 2-5 months i made sure not to remove the mechanic completely from the game (also since there are some options to reduce it further with crivics/traditions etc.) but i made it more realistic and less unnecessarily painful and annoying

… please note: AI Empires are affected by those changes as well. So this mod is not a human-player only cheat. It’s just an improvement/rework of a broken mechanic of the game.

This is an ultra light-weight mod and should be definitely is 100% compatible with almost every other mod on the workshop. The only vanilla code that was changed is one line of code in static modifiers, written in a new file. No vanilla code was touched. Complete new code. Hence 100% compatible with every other mod.

This mod is save game compatible BUT if you are loading an old save game (with this mod enabled for the first time) and a pop is already unemployed and demoting (with the old huge vanilla demotion timer) then you need to put that pop into work for a second (switch it with another pop that is employed) => after that the pop will get the new and lower pop demotion time. New unemployed demoting pops will receive the new timer automatically.
