Noted, I'll start the launcher and try that

No problem, I'm happy to help :)

> What am I looking for in the error logs?
I think the error.log clears on every new game start, so anything that logs at the top of the file when loading the game up. If you have a lot of mods that might be a lot though, so it might be worth loading them in a separate playset just to test

> they're in the first 4 spots of the playlist
Ah, so I think that will mean they get applied first, and any lower mod can override the changes. Try moving them to the bottom and see what happens. btw if that is the problem, then the offending mod will have it's changes wiped too, so you might have to either choose between them or manually edit one

What am I looking for in the error logs? Any codes to watch out for?

I have other mods as well and they have loaded just fine with them, I apologize for creating a headache, they're in the first 4 spots of the playlist exactly how it is in the collections. I'll check the logs

I just tried to load them all together, they seem to be working for me. Are you loading them with any other mods? Also can you double check that the right playset is selected, that sometimes catches me out.

If none of that works, maybe see if there are any logs in:
C:\Users\[you]\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\logs\error.log

So, the traits seem fine but everything else is having issues it seems

I'll try the load order from the collection and put them in the list from 1-4 and see if it helps, it's worked fine before regardless of load order or position in the mods

I just loaded it up there to check, it seems to be working for me, so it could be a couple of things that's breaking for you:

- this mod is just for Government Authorities (Dictatorial, Democratic, Oligarchic etc) so maybe you mixed it up with the other mods I made and didn't activate those also
- it could also be the load order of your mods is causing this one to be overridden by another mod you might have active. I think the list is applied in order, so the last one can override the changes of the ones before it if they change the same file

Does any of that help?

Funny thing is that it worked fine after the 3.0 update, maybe it broke during the 3.1 or 3.2 update they did. this IS one of my favorite mods, with the "become the crisis" update, these have helped boost an empire to being a crisis that even the vanilla crisis may fear lol

Oh yeah, there was an update since I made these, so they're probably broken from that. I might get time to update soon

I've been having some issues I'm hoping to bring up... None of the x10 buffs are applying at all on the ethics, governments, or the civics
