Does this mod work with others that add cultures? or would I have to make sure the new cultures phenotypes also add up to 100 myself?

@The Toaster

I believe the ethnicity weights of an already created hybrid culture will be defined in the save game. This mod won't help to change that. I'm afraid your only option is save game editing.

For your next playthrough my mod or a custom mod with ethnicity values can help get you the values for your hybrid culture that you want.

Thanks this mod looks good. Do you know if there's anyway to modify an existing ironman game to change the ethnic makeup of a hybrid culture I created?

@Eucle thanks for the reply.

Yeah I figured as much. I've been searching in vain for a modder who attempts it because I haven't been able to make time to mod and debug it myself. Thanks again.

@Ahoyande

That's a very specific request, but it's definitely possible.

You'll have to create a mod where you crank up the numbers for the culture that you want to be genetically stronger, so that the other cultures total number becomes insignificant by comparison. Have the first culture total a 1000 and the other culture 10 for example. 99% of your courtiers should then have the desired genetics.

I haven't tried, but I imagine it's also possible to change the ethnicity frequencies via save game editing.

@Eucle any chance you could create a mod that does the opposite?

Sometimes I want to hybridize to gain a culture's aesthetics, but I hate that courtiers from their ethnicity start showing up.

awesome

Thanks for this. Those extremely high variations of ethnicity for caucasian_northern in comparison to everywhere else is something I've wrestled with when doing Varangian Adventure especially.

@Aww_Potatoes When hybridizing hybrid cultures it just adds up the values. So when hybridizing Greco-Norse (which has values totaling 200) with Andalusian (not a hybrid so total is 100), the new total would be 300, with Greek, Norse and Andalusian each contributing 100.

Not talking about the mod talking about ck3 in general

Tocharian being mixed Arab and Med is laughable.

How does this work when hybridizing with a hybrid culture? If Greco-Norse hybridized with Andalusian would there be an equal amount of Greek, Norse and Andalusian ethnicities?

i wish we could simply make a custom culture/ethnicity with aesthetics/appearance, DNA/genetics, CoA, naming, traditions etc in-game without resorting to editing files

EPE changes the culture files and adds new ethnicities. This mod is designed to balance the ethnicities in vanilla. You should not use it with EPE.

@Riaman The number of ethnicities in the vanilla game is very limited, so many cultures have a flawed representation in terms of ethnicity. I'm assuming the developers will expand on them at some point, but they haven't yet.

EPE?

@Riaman I guess because they wanted to keep the ethnic appearances very simple. Even though I am still bitter bout how they made up several phenotypes for Europe but were really lazy with the Middle East or the Asian continent. Like, I'm an ethnic Turk but my grandmother had blonde and grey blue eyes, we are the population with the highest percentage of ppl with green eyes. We can have "typical Middle Eastern" looks, East Asian, Nordic, Mediteranian or anything in between.

Unrelated but lol why is tochsrian arab and Mediterranean, they were ancient indo Iranian people.
