Also because my Ideal Solar System takes place in the TPE universe, albeit non-canonically.

It uses the same assets as the TPE solar system mods.

Why does it require TPE Universe (compat) when it only changes the Solar System?

ok cool what the heck

No python script needed. The catalogs in the data folder are not not locked, so you can safely go into data>catalogs>catalogs.pak and look for SolarSys.sc and make a copy, and modify it to your heart's desires

how did u remove all the solar system objects? did u use a python script? i kinda wanna do this with my hotss mods

How the heck to yall do this stuff

Oh ye

If you load the Sol system in Stellaris with that mod, the mod will give Jupiter a "helioforming candidate" tag to the planet, indicating you can use the substellar compressor to compress it into a mini-star.

Not at all. It was inspired by the "substellar compressor" mega-structure in the "Gigastructures and more" mod for the game Stellaris.

Btw, I just wanna ask: How realistic (in stellar terms) is Jupiter in this mod?

Alright

Only if you change names of a parent object, or replace it with a modified clone (like jupiter). The catalogs in the data folder are not locked, so you can safely copypasta the necessary bodies.

Just a question, but when modding the Solar System, do you have to add back every single object including minor bodies?
