Best Mods for TCG Card Shop Simulator

TCG Card Shop Simulator is finally out as a full game, and those who were waiting for the cozy game’s complete release are hopping on for the first time. While the developers have done an excellent job in ensuring it’s one of the most enjoyable simulator games around, it never hurts to use a couple of mods to enhance the fun.

In particular, some of the best mods for TCG Card Shop Simulator are those that streamline the gaming process. From making pack openings quicker to letting players restock their inventory with one tap, here are some of the best mods for TCG Card Shop Simulator that you have to try.

Fast Pack Opening

Opening packs one by one is a big bottleneck in TCG Card Shop Simulator. The default game lets players carry only 8 booster packs at a time and uses a slow opening animation. This slow progression makes gathering single cards for display or sale monotonous.

The Fast Pack Opening mod fixes this by allowing users to change the speed of the pack-opening process. It also lets players increase the maximum number of packs they can hold in their inventory, with some users setting the limit as high as 1,024 packs. This configuration enables stock generation without repetitive manual clicking. 

The mod also includes a high-value threshold slider. This feature lets players stop the game from pausing to highlight a pulled card unless its market value goes over a user-defined dollar amount.

Auto Light Switch

Players must manage the shop lighting manually in TCG Card Shop Simulator. If the player forgets to turn on the lights as the in-game day transitions to evening, the store becomes dark. 

The Auto Light Switch mod does this automatically. Players can set a specific in-game time, such as 5:00 PM or 5:30 PM, for the lights to automatically activate. This automation lets the player focus on running the register or stocking shelves without worrying about an accidental drop in sales due to poor lighting. Players using this mod should avoid leaving the game unattended for long periods, as active lights will add to the shop’s electricity bill even after it’s closed.

One Click Restock

Inventory management becomes more complex as the shop grows. In the base game, players must track all missing items from display shelves or warehouse storage, find the item in the catalog, and add each item to their cart.

One Click Restock makes this purchasing system simple. By going to the Stock Order menu and pressing the set hotkey, the mod automatically detects missing stock across the shop and populates the shopping cart with the required items. This reduces the time spent comparing empty shelf spaces with the in-game phone application. 

The mod interacts directly with the existing price tags on warehouse and store shelves, ensuring only the specific products the player has previously allocated space for are added to the order.

Auto Set Prices

Market prices for trading cards and sealed products constantly change within the game. Players need to adjust the price of every item to maintain their profit margin, making the process time-consuming.

The Auto Set Price mod automatically changes store prices based on the player’s defined rules. A user can set a global rule, such as pricing all items at 10% above the current market value or adding a 5% markup rounded to the nearest quarter. 

The mod instantly recalculates and applies these new prices whenever the market changes, ensuring consistent profit margins. This prevents players from checking the in-game binder for daily market updates, and rounding options keep checkout totals simple for cashiers.

Real TCG Overhaul

The base game uses standard, developer-created card art inspired by popular real-world trading cards. While usable, players who want a more realistic card shop usually look for texture or asset replacement mods to change the in-game merchandise.

Mods like Real TCG Overhaul replace the default designs with recognizable franchises. This mod changes booster packs, individual cards, and shop textures with high-definition assets, giving players the aesthetic of real-world trading card games. The mod also includes an ArtExpander feature, which lets players add custom card expansions and theme integration without changing the core gameplay.
