I crashed a lot using Speed 5, regardless of mod. It stopped when I found out to set the FPS limit to 60 in game. So bizarre, but worth trying if you're crashing.

The Viral Divinity, POD does not add any of the folllowing: "Royal Favor", "Court Reputation", "Military Renown" or "Percieved Senility" .

"ChatGPT flavor pack"

Ah! That would do it. Its recommended not to play with such things with POD.

Try running only POD, with no other mods; and see if you still are getting crashes. There are other things you can look into for Windows 11 Intel CPU of the 13th or 14th generation (Raptor Lake) if that is something that effects you.

Just wanna say, the mentor event for learning Rift is absolutely inspired. The work that's already there in the prep stuff for the upcoming eastern map expansion is amazing, I can't wait to see it all come together, amazing work.

Cool mod

I do only have 32GB, but I already switched to vulkan, and that does help with the crashing. But it really only crashes on startup, which I can eventually get past if it happens. I was just really mad that day, and spent like the entire time trying to figure out my other problem lol.

I just figured out what added it
I'm a fool, it's not a conflict, but it's definitely not something I really want on. It was the ChatGPT flavor pack, which is thankfully fully modular, but I downloaded the Lite version thinking stuff like that wouldn't be in it.. guess not.

I mean, I actually like the mechanic
It encourages players to have like-minded councilors and advisors

The problem is the "Percieved Senility" under the "Power Struggles" part, where it goes from level 0 to 2 with a single stress level, giving me -2 domain limit and -50% lifestyle exp, seemingly permanently

@Sparc So your telling me your mod doesn't add the bar at the bottom with things like "Royal Favor", "Court Reputation", "Military Renown", etc? Because none of the other mods I use have that, so unless something recently got some huge update, I don't see how this mod doesn't add it.

The Viral Divinity, we are not familiar with "senility", its not in our mod. Most of our immortal characters don't get age related negative traits like incapable. Could you possibly be playing POD with an incompatible mod?

The Viral Divinity, if you are experiencing freezes or crashing or loading and randomly during play, or when starting again it might be that you lack enough RAM. It might also be related to a Windows 11 Intel CPU of the 13th or 14th generation (Raptor Lake) (in which case you might need to update your bios) and/or change your HmbAllocationPolicy (you should research it, as it impacts multiple games). You might also try changing your graphics render to Vulkan in the CK3 launcher.

Lowkey its not that fun and it gets pretty repetetive after an hour or two after each class

Playing as a ghoul is fun, but man now after generations I feel I want to be able to ask to be made into a vampire by my best friend and sire :D

Nvm, can't remove the trait because it comes right back..
Power struggle is so bad.
Easy way to fix it, is since negative stress traits increase it, make positive ones decrease it. I mean, it makes perfect logical sense to me lmao.

And the random "X person is now your lover", "You revealed X secret of X person" is also innanely bullshit. Why is my character occasionally doing random things for no reason that undermine me as a player?

Actually, removing the trait for it seems to have worked. Probably broke the entire system, but hey, at least I don't have to deal with -3 domain and -90% lifestyle exp for literally existing lmao.

That's just straight up the worst gameplay design I've ever seen, period, in CK3. When nearly every activity costs 1-2k gold, and the one or two that ARE outside my borders don't trigger a regency, there's just straight up. ZERO way as a demon to get rid of this.

Also most of the special buildings don't show what their missing to make them functional when they aren't

happy october to your mod team. looking forward to what you guys do when the china dlc drops!

This World of Darkness-themed mod for Crusader Kings III looks and sounds like pure genius! I look forward to seeing how my Malkavian Prince character, descending from Nissiku the Clever, may fare against pre-existing Kindred rulers such as the Hardestadts of clan Ventrue and/or, dare I say it, the Prometheans of clan Brujah (see VTM: Redemption)!

Also it loves to freeze when loading, even crashes every now and again starting the game up

There's got to be a way to remove the senility, or disable it as a demon or something because this is ridiculous..

One stress level, boom level 2. -2 Domain, -50% lifestyle exp. Makes the whole thing completely unfun.

Also some stuff just seems stupid af. Like percieved senility is bullshit. Being a demon, I'm pretty damn old, so what? I'm supposed to just accept a permanent, unchangable -90% lifestyle exp and -3 domain limit? How tf does a higher being get dementia lmfao.

I realize they could quite possibly be anachronous to the Dark Ages (depending on the interpretation of the sourcebooks), but have you ever, even as a thought experiment for fun, considered adding the Blood Brothers to the mod? I'd be very interested in how you'd imagine the implementation of the Sanguinus discipline in the Princes of Darkness.

Good evening, first of all, thank you and congratulations on the mod. I'd like to know if it's possible to have this mod in Italian.

[TTVBTW]PepegaAim, probably.

Your game has a debug menu with an option to add trait experience points. Please check if you have this debug menu. I have it even without installing any mods, and the option is marked with a "POD" icon. Have you simply forgotten about it?

Came across an issue on two playthroughs where blood keeps getting consumed even without any ghouls. Not to much of an issue unless you play as Venture. Is that a new bug?

Is Ashen cult experience only possible as an adventurer ?

Sabeloryx , for checksum errors, be sure that all players download the mod from the same source. Be sure that none of the players are in debug mode. Make sure you are on the same version of the mod and base game. Also, for simplicity, don't use any other mods besides POD. You might also try clearing our all your saved games.

[TTVBTW]PepegaAim, we do not support Cheat Mod.

dragzxb, left most bookmark is all vampires (ghouls and revenants). Second bookmark adds hunters, werewolves, fera, demons and mummies. The Dark Ages Fae bookmark adds Fae to the 2nd bookmark. So if you want the most supernaturals, choose the Dark Ages Fae bookmark. You can still play a vampire (or whatever) in the Dark Ages Fae bookmark.

Using the cheat menu (accessed with a right-click): Clicking on "Add trait experience points" and then selecting any trait to increase will cause the game to crash.

Currently this mod seems to be the main culprit of me and my friends checksum error, anyone else having this issue? I have already reinstalled the mods, cleared cache verified files and so on.

Hi where can i edit the ghoul and herd size?

Unfortunately there is a bug were Bastet characters cannot access the tribal gifts lifestyle due to having no lifestyle focus. I tried to play as the Simba clan but it seems to have affected others.

What's the point of the "no Baronies" feature? For improving performance I imagine?

Great mod, thanks for your work! 👍 But there’s a bug with the Lust Demon King Saryuberi — after playing for some time, an event popup shows up and then the game crashes. Hope you can fix it soon! 🙏

hey when i try and make a custom game it only makes a few hunters a few more werewolves and alot of vampires, basicly ignoring fae and the other splats altogether is that normal or is there a setting to change that?

阿维萨里亚术士 , thank you for your praise!

does anyone know what happened to the mod that let you start at some of the vanilla dates i cant seem to find it on the workshop or in my own mods?

Ah, good to know.

Gaping mouths are an issue for people trying to load an old save with the new version. As always when paradox releases new DLC (or when we release big updates), saves games aren't compatbile

@dragzxb u don't use it at all right now

for Better Barbershop do we load it before pod or do you still need the patch to use both.

Having the same weird issue with the gaping soyjak mouths on most characters

cant choose sire

After the update, many (all?) characters not pre-created from the start spawn with gaping mouths (like vampires after drinking blood) looks extremely strange, especially on mortal women
