fanta games!

One of the most valuable things that TBOSAS and SOTR added to the series, in my opinion, is highlighting just how much of a limited/unreliable narrator Katniss is, and gently challenging her perception in the early books that no resistance to the Capitol exists and/or is futile. Reading the original trilogy, you get the perception early on that there is little to no resistance against the Capitol, that it is futile and pointless to fight back, that the Capitol has well and truly subjugated its population until Katniss and Peeta spark the blaze that sets the country aflame.

But that’s not true. People have been fighting back and resisting the Games HARD, right from the very beginning. Casca Highbottom, the Games’ own creator, throwing institutional roadblocks and trying to stop Snow before he gets out of control. Arachne and the girl from District 10. Marcus and his refusal to play the game. Reaper and everything he did in the arena. Lucy Gray, who defied Snow and his Games so profoundly she was written out of history entirely. Sejanus and his story. EVERYTHING ABOUT Haymitch’s Games - everything he did, Mags and Wiress and Beetee and Plutarch, Maysilee, the Newcomers. Lenore Dove and everything she did in service of revolution. Resistance against the Games, we can infer, has been active and persistent since the Games themselves were founded.

Katniss isn’t wrong or dumb for having the perspective she does early on in the trilogy; she’s working off the information she has, and there’s so much she hasn’t seen and doesn’t know about. But the resistance she feels is born at the end of THG/into CF has always been there, has always been fighting, has given the Capitol a run for their money right from the beginning. There are so many ways in which Katniss will never know just how much came before her, and how much the revolution was the endpoint of a struggle that’s as old as the Games themselves.

- Warp Building (good for late game, has all the warp obelisks in mini version in one shed so you can keep space on your farm: once it's built you can take down all the main obelisks and it will still work)

- True Love Valley (a dialogue expansion, hasn't been updated super much for 1.6 but still has some good dialogue for Shane, Sebastian, Haley, and Leah primarily)

- Last Day to Plant (lets you know when you can plant crops with or without fertilizer and still be able to harvest them before the season ends)

- Fashion Sense (there are a bunch of other lil mods that you can get with this one but it allows you to have extra hairstyles, clothes, accessories, etc)

I hope you have fun modding!! ✨
