Crowd Control Setup Guides

1. Start with the App

• Open the Crowd Control Desktop App

• Select Probably Stolen from the game list

• Install the mod (next section) — there is no auto setup for this game yet

• Launch the game, open the Mods menu, and enable Crowd Control

• Approve the network capability prompt (the mod talks to the Crowd Control app on your own PC, 127.0.0.1) and restart the game

2. Install the Mod

• Close the game

• Download ProbablyStolen-CC.zip

• Open your game's install folder (in Steam: right-click the game → Manage → Browse local files)

• Create a Mods folder there if it does not exist, and extract the zip into Mods\crowd_control\ so the folder ends up with manifest.xml, README.txt and CrowdControl.ProbablyStolen.dll

• Probably Stolen uses its own first-party mod loader — do not install BepInEx or MelonLoader for this game

3. Test Before You Stream

• Effects can only be tested after pressing "Start Session" in the app

• Load into your save, open the shop (the shutter), and wait a few seconds

• Always test a few effects before going live

• Skipping this can lead to broken streams and confusion!

Mod Compatibility

• Our mod runs on the game's built-in mod loader (no BepInEx/MelonLoader)

• Mod package: ProbablyStolen-CC.zip

• Other mods may work, but are not tested with Crowd Control

• If you have issues, try with just Crowd Control

Game Version

• Tested with the Steam version of the game, release 1.0

• Other game stores may work but have not been tested

• Want another store supported? Submit a request in our Discord, #cc-requests

Notes

• Effects only work while the shop is open and mostly answer with Retry during the morning or when no customers are around — that is the mod telling you the effect has nothing to grab onto yet

• Early Closing ends the day on the spot (nightly report and autosave included), and Break-In empties half the till — warn your streamer

• Timed effects pause while the game is paused or unfocused, and end when the day ends

• Conflicting effects do not overlap

• If the overlay says the mod is disconnected, make sure the Crowd Control app is running; the mod reconnects on its own (F10 forces a reconnect)

• The mod log lives at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Questing Goose Studio\Probably Stolen\Player.log. Lines that start with [Crowd Control] show every effect request and its result

• Back up your saves before installing mods. Saves live in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Questing Goose Studio\Probably Stolen

Uninstall

• Open the game's Mods menu, deactivate Crowd Control, and restart

• Then delete the Mods\crowd_control folder from the game directory
