Sandbox Mode

A BepInEx 5 mod for Gamble With Your Friends that adds a per-save Sandbox Mode for goofing off without the run-economy pressure.

Features

$1,000,000,000,000 in the bank from the first day.
All floors unlocked from the start — every elevator button works on day one.
1-hour day timer instead of 5 minutes.
Quota pinned to a configurable value so casino-game bet ranges stay stable across days (and the lose-state never triggers).
Per-save toggle. When you click an empty save slot, a dialog asks Normal or Sandbox — your choice is stored in a sidecar marker file next to the save JSON. Existing/normal saves are completely untouched.
SANDBOX MODE badge in the top-left of the screen while you're in the house or casino, so you don't accidentally tell yourself you earned it.

Multiplayer

Sandbox mode is determined by the host's save. Gameplay effects (money, floors, day length, quota pin) replicate automatically via Mirror to every connected client. The on-screen badge and local "remaining time" UI text are host-side only — clients don't need the mod for the gameplay to work, but the visual indicators won't appear on their screens.

Installation

If you're using a mod manager (Thunderstore Mod Manager / r2modman), just hit Install — BepInEx and the DLL are placed for you.

For a manual install:

Install BepInEx 5.4.23.5 (win x64) by extracting the zip into your game folder. Launch once and quit so it generates BepInEx/config/.
Extract this package into the same game folder. The DLL lands in BepInEx/plugins/SandboxMode/.
Launch the game and check BepInEx/LogOutput.log for Harmony patches applied: 6/6.

Creating a sandbox save

From the main menu, open the save-slot screen and click an empty slot. The dialog asks Normal / Sandbox — pick Sandbox. Once you're in the casino, the gold SANDBOX MODE badge appears top-left, you start with a trillion dollars, and the day clock reads 1:00:00. Existing saves are unaffected and keep playing exactly like vanilla.

Configuration

After your first launch with the mod, edit <game>/BepInEx/config/com.saltedbyte.sandboxmode.cfg to tune BetQuota — the value the casino-game MinBet / MaxBet formulas use while a sandbox save is loaded. Higher = bigger bet ranges.
