Initial Release
New companions that are very suitable for a Fourberie playthrough!
Thanks a lot to Ko4evnik for updating the script to 1.8.0 and now for 1.1.0+. Check out his other mods and if you want to play S&V without Open Source Armory that download is available there.
Compatible with Fourberie! Join one of the three gangs and start your criminal empire. Own your own hideout! For now also replaces some of the troops used in Fourberie for gang fights with S&V troops. Place S&V below Fourberie in your load order.
I highly recommend downloading the Bannerlord Mod Launcher. Load orders are currently the biggest causes of crashes and launching the game through the direct .exe continuously changes load order for the worst.
Banners by /u/Haedvig (Crimson Cartel), /u/jannoinks (Iron Fist), /u/Noslack8 (Seven Scimitars) and /u/iq4153333 (Kingslayers & Blackwater Pirates)!
You can edit the config file of CustomSpawns to turn on debug mode. This will show you where parties spawn (in case you are impatient). You can download Ardonnay's Troop Changer if you want to recruit troops yourself in Towns/Villages (this is NOT a requirement of this mod, it is an additional feature).
This mod adds new factions, save games without the faction in them will not be compatible.
Installation
Step 0: If you had an old version, verify your game files! You may have old versions of SPClans.XML or SPCultures.XML.
1. Install the Custom Spawns Clean API 2. Download the Scum and Villainy 1.1.0 - 1.1.4. mod for Bannerlord 1.1.0 - 1.1.4 (may not work on other versions; tested on 1.1.2) 3. Extract the .rar into your Bannerlord folder and tick the boxes in the launcher for both the Custom Spawns Clean API (or Calradia at War) and the ScumAndVillainy mod (or install through Vortex). 4. Don't forget to unblock the DLL if your windows blocks it! 5. Install Open Source Armory; otherwise several troops are naked! 6. Optionally (may not be updated) download Ardonnay's Troop Changer (choose the correct version!) and the optional files on this page to allow the criminals to be recruited in towns/villages. If you are using this function, make sure to save and load the game after you start. Also please carefully read the mod page for more information.
When you boot up the game, bottom-left should show the mod is functioning properly.

Major props to Anopey!
General Information
Ever thought it was weird that gangs play such a big role in the cities, but there was never a sight of any organized crime? Well now there is!
This mod adds organized crime to the game. Several new parties will roam the map harrassing villagers and caravans. Migrating clans will actually migrate to other cities and slavers will sell off their own children for profit. Smuggling and fencing stolen goods will be present on the overhead map.
The Kingpin is the leader of the Crimson Cartel and rules the deserts and steppes of Calradia. The Robber Baron leads the Iron Fist and roams around in the Empire and Vlandia. Finally the Warlord rules the Kingslayers, who are readying themselves for a war against all kingdoms and nobility.
All services offered by gangs and outlaws is on a "need-to-know" basis, which means that if you do not have enough denars to afford their services, you do not need to know about them. If you are visiting slave markets, bring prisoners. If you are visiting gang hideouts or black markets, bring enough coin to pay their fees or recruit their troops. If you are planning on visiting the Seven Scimitars of the Shiting Sands, you better have plenty of troops and coin to keep them at bay and offer their services to you.
Special unique troops (Juggernauts, Warstompers) are extremely expensive, but if you look out for the special parties that spawn, you can imprison and recruit them for absolutely free. Additional unique troops (Deadeye, Impaler, Harvester) can be obtained from hideouts, pirate caverns and markets and are upgradeable with the Disciplinary perk (Rogue Hunters, Wild Woodcutters, Furious Fisherman).
Additionally, more peasant parties roam the map. As bandit lure or as defenders.
Features:
1. New Hideouts (e.g. Gang Hideouts, Slave Markets, Smuggler's Den, Pirate's Cove) 2. New Parties that spawn all through Calradia! (e.g. Vandals, Slave Catchers, Coin Collectors, Gang Patrols, Smuggler Caravans) 3. New troops! In total three reasonable troop trees, adding a total of 50 units (with regional variations!). 4. New events! Random events with huge riots, revolts and manhunts. Special troops appear through events! 5. New gameplay mechanics! Sell slaves or fence goods, buy unique items and bet on brawling bums. Hire gang members to fight alongside you. Increase your party size by capturing and recruiting sultans. Hire unique troops and upgrade them with the disciplinary perk. 6. New quests, collect materials to craft new items, collect bounties for Bounty Hunters from large, unique parties to increase your roguery skill! 7. New vendors, weapons and items! Visit the black market for unique items only available to those with enough denars and roguery skill! 8. Make denars by beating the odds at illegal arena fights in the Pits!
Organized crime has more than five own troop trees. Below are the largest ones, but in total there are over 100 new troops! Each troop has at least eight item sets (most between 6-12), so that not all troops look the same while in combat.
Read the information on the CustomSpawns mod for maximum compatibility. Thanks to Anopey for developing CustomSpawns.
