    I found the xml file that handles happines.

    *\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\Gameplay\XML\

    Look for GlobalDefines.xml

    It is plain text. Mod at your own risk though and make archives first. So far I haven't had any troubles.

    Can mod a large amount of aspects in that file. Since I like city nabbing, I reduced the amount of unhappiness from annexing cities and increased the amount of happiness per extra luxury.

    Do you mind sharing your file?
    Trust is a fragile thing. Once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover. Those we're closest to can betray us,and total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned.

    <!-- Growth and Happiness -->
    Enter that into your search box in a text editor and that is the section of happiness goodness.

    Thanks a million for that post. I have been looking through these xml files for days trying to find these things. In fact, I think I even went through this specific file... must have overlooked it. After going through so many of these you start to skim more than comb through.

    That is the smartest thing I have ever heard anyone say about anything.

    Thanks for this information.

    Do you know if there is a field in which you can modify the size of the cities? There is a initial limit range equal to 6 in all cities, though they can grow later, but slowly.

    Np mate. I just hope it doesn't break anyone's game.

    That tweak + the infinite move on the trainer means that if you're really careful to avoid ruins that do equipment upgrades,or get owned by enemy combatants you can conquer all accessible city states and npc players before they even found their city.

    Before when I tried to do that I made people more unhappy than george w. bush. I actually deleted my very productive egyptian game for a very similar reason.

    @shostakk
    There are entries that are likely to affect that in the region of the file I specified. Same section to be exact.

    Row Name="BASE_CITY_GROWTH_THRESHOLD"

    Row Name="CITY_GROWTH_MULTIPLIER"

    Row Name="CITY_GROWTH_EXPONENT"
    I'd post it verbatim, but html is messing with me. & l t for the less than symbol should have worked.

    there are a wealth of xml files in the directory
    C:\*\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\Gameplay\XML

    I hope that helps. But I would be wary of using that, because it will likely affect npc's too.
