Steam Workshop mods tend to be horribly broken unless they are tiny. Download them manually.

How tiny and do we know why?

Exaggeration, and mostly because the HUUUGE mods have to broken into multiple parts.

I've got Anime Portraits on and the cute redhead children that I give land to keep turning into dumb Arabs when they grow up, working in opposite to my purpose of cuteifying the realm. I've already brownified Ireland,  do I have to invade Scotland and get some pureblooded redheads in my realm or is ethnicity a result of culture?

Make sure their parents are 100% redhead and have no Arab blood for at least two generations back. Should make you have the most chance of cuteification.

Ah, OK. I've been trying my hand at artificially changing things by messing with the cultures file, but I guess it's time for some eugenics. My only concern is that they'll self-determine who they marry and dilute their pure genes.

All cultures have a gfx_culture, their appearance type, associated with them. All freshly generated characters will have the gfx_culture be the one defined by their culture.

People with parents, however, will inherit their gfx_culture from either of their parents, seemingly at random, but will always receive the culture of the dominant spouse of a marriage or the mother in the case of bastards. As a child grows up, culture might change but gfx_culture cannot.

However, you could use the console to change people's gfx_vulture if you want to and isn't playing ironman. I often end up doing this when playing the GoTmod because the Targaryens keep breeding out their silver hair look.

Honestly, if you really wanna be sure, you could revoke everything down to the barons and grant pure irish people titles. Starting from baronies if you can, as it will generate a character of your culture + religion. It won't need much eugenics and you get a few good years from them as the granted title bonus will last for a while.

it's easier to just hand the county/dukedom/kingdom to someone of the irish culture

the person themselves might not be the right colour (you racist <3) but they'll generate barons/counts/dukes of their own culture to hold those positions

If you're saying what I think you're saying, as long as you don't hold a duchy you should be able to switch your primary title from egan c to Smaland. You can switch between all top level titles at will.
Also, head to the doctor, I think you're having a stroke.
EDIT: oh, you're talking about the top post on this page. Why can't you just rock the Aegean Sea? Make like Brittania and rule, Saber! Rule the Waves.

[Hetairos]

The exact same thing happened to me after some update. The Old Gods one I think? It went away eventually, without me doing anything specifically about it.

I have an issue. For some reason, probably after installing some Steam Workshop mods, the names of some provinces have changed. There is one province in Smaland which was (I think) renamed the Aegan Sea, a province near Pskov that is now known as the Gulf of Venice. The sea tiles of corresponding names are no simply known as province #. The problem is constant across two computers.

I've uninstalled all my mods except GoT, and I've used the steam in-built check file integrity option, but it didnt help. Do you guys know how to fix this?

Four minute guess: In your GoT mod folder, there should be map/definitions.csv and history/provinces filled with notepad files. If you open the former with notepad or scroll through the latter, you should find a list of provinces ordered by number, plus their names and some other information. I think the names are the codenames the game uses to look up their actual names somewhere else, but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure where this somewhere else is.

Anyway, if you can find the provinces in there, you'll have a clue. If you can't find the provinces in there, you can look them up in the, uh... where was it... common/landed titles/landed_titles.txt has them arranged hierarchically, so searching for d_assholeland will give you the Duchy of Assholeland, which will be followed by brackets containing all the counties within said duchy, so you can confirm that Smalamaland is named Smalalamand and not Sea of Aegen, at least internally.

If that that point there are no answers, presumably you need to track down where the game takes its internal names and makes them internal names. This information is beyond me, though I know you can create a... hold on lemme look up the tutorial, I don't actually know any of this myself... according to the thing, you can create a .csv localization file named anything containing the following:

#CODE;ENGLISH;FRENCH;GERMAN; ;SPANISH;;;;;;;;;x
PROV[province #];[Name];[French Name];[German Name];;[Spanish Name];;;;;;;;;x
c_[internal province name (the all lowercase one)]_adj;[English Adjective ("Smalalish" from "Samalaland", etc)];[French Adjective];[German Name];;[Spanish Name];;;;;;;;;x

and then just stuff it somewhere in the mod folder and it will work. It will presumably work less well if it's overwriting or being overwritten by something else, though.

The exact same thing happened to me after some update. The Old Gods one I think? It went away eventually, without me doing anything specifically about it.

This is probably a better idea.

Yeah, the names in events, decisions, cultures, titles, and so on are all references to something in .csv files in the localization folder.

Been messing with that a lot lately since I decided to begin modding CK2.

This is what I do. I don't want to turn the entire world Greek, but when I need to populate an area and I don't happen to have someone who applies. For example, I wanted to make a Vassal Merchant Republic based in Barcelona, but the only Catalans in existence were Muslims under Hispania, and the Catalan Band (and they are Catholic so that doesn't even help me to begin with). So what I did was I found a pretext for war, sieged stuff down until I got some prisoners, ended the war, found one willing to be recruited into my court, converted him to Orthodoxy, and gave him some land. Couple days later he's found a couple friends to fill his court. I grab one that I like, plop that guy down, and repeat until satisfied.

Are there easy ways of handling those? I've successfully added stuff to Localization, but it's an annoying process and a process that bothersome makes it a lot harder to work up the motivation to do it.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. If it is adding new ones, you just find or create a new csv file in localization and place the new stuff there. If you want to edit existing stuff, you need to find where it is and change it. Simple as that. Though I recommend creating a mod instead of changing the base files.

Spoiler: Also, Dev Diary (click to show/hide)

Hello all, it’s been a while, but it’s my turn to write a Dev Diary again! Today I’m going to tell you about the Treasury system we’re adding in 2.7. This system itself is part of the free patch. However, a lot of the content for it is part of Monks and Mystics.

The Treasury is where characters store their items, such as weapons, artifacts, or holy relics. In many ways items are much like Character Modifiers which you are likely already familiar with, but Character Modifiers are a fairly limited and not entirely clear system. With the new Treasury system we have greater control over how they work and when they are active as well as more UI space to display and explain them. Not only that, this system allows items to be inheritable and stealable.

We hope that seeing your character’s items as physical object rather than just a number on their character sheet will offer greater immersion, especially for player who like to focus on role-playing. Sure, in the past you could find a nice axe to increase your personal combat skill, but it was just another number - now you’ll see a gleaming axe, ready to hew the limbs from your foes!


this is not quite final artwork, but it should be similar to what we end up with

As an example, say your Character has found the Holy Grail - you will now see the Grail in your Treasury with a picture and a description as well as the effects of owning it. Further, if some Norseman comes along and raids your castle, there’s a chance that he’ll make off with your precious Grail - however, since he’s not a Christian your most holy relic is nothing more than a fancy cup to him.

As mentioned, items are also inheritable, they all go to a character’s primary heir. In the event someone dies without an heir, the items will pass to their liege if they have one, but they have a chance of being lost in the process. If an independant character dies without heirs, their items are lost - although if time permits we have talked about them having a chance to be snapped up by powerful vassals.

For 2.7 we’re converting several character modifiers into items, such as the +1 axe you might find while raiding, the saint’s bones you might find on a pilgrimage, or the trophy you made from the skull of your rival. With Monks and Mystics we’re adding a lot more, such as:

• Commissioning swords from skilled smiths.
• Buying fabulous Crown Jewels.
• Hunting for Holy Artifacts.

As well as the items you can find or make while playing, we have also added a system to place some Artifacts into character’s Treasuries when a new game is started. These are mostly placed at random to keep things interesting, but there are also a few historical artifacts given to famous characters.

[Culise]

Oh, my, and the system itself is free even if the items are not.  CK2+ and GoT should both be pleased with this, given that it means they'll be able to port over items like their existing holy relics and the Valyrian blades into the item system without locking out those who don't buy the DLC.
