I've been working on a code mod for PC management sim, "Software Inc." It can be downloaded from the Steam Workshop

SIncLib (or Software Inc. Library) is a bunch of gameplay enhancing tools. This is the second release with three features currently but I have plans to add more over time.

The first feature in this library is Team Manager. This is a tool that will optimize a software team by pulling staff from other teams if they have staff more suited to the current project. So, let's say you have a team developing a game that requires System, Audio and 2D specialized developers. If the team doesn't have those skills your game is going to suck. But what if you have those skills in your company already in other teams but you don't know where. The game currently doesn't make it easy to manage staff and find the right skills and this is where our tool comes in. Simply select the team you want to optimize, the teams you want to draw developers from and whether you want to adjust the HR settings to match. The tool will now move out developers not up to the job and replace them with employees with the right skills and in the right quantities.

The second feature is the project manager task manager. This lets you see into the previously closed world of your project managers and see what tasks all your teams are working on. It also gives you some control over promoting the development tasks, canceling or reassigning support tasks or taking over your marketing tasks. All things that were hard or impossible to do previously.

The third feature enables out of stock notifications for products you didn't develop, such as products acquired in a takeover or products from an ip trade

Feedback and ideas very much appreciated.
