CK+ Recommended Mods

[TATERSALAD15]

With CK2+ I use:

- Bigger Interface
- Cultural Bonuses
- Interface: Century Gothic
- Interface: Stellaris Colors
- Patrum Scuta CK2+
- The Great Trade League
- Theatrum Orbis Terrarum
- Tooltip: Century Gothic Bold 18
- Velvet Tooltip

Most of these are graphical and font-related mods with a few others thrown in, like the The Great Trade League and Cultural Bonuses. As you can tell, I don't use many and I haven't noticed any problems with any of them. So far I've not seen a need for anything else.

I will have to look at that mod list. I have Patrum Scuta CK2+ and Culture Bonuses (CK2+ version) and both work very well alongside CK2+. For Culture Bonuses, use the CK2+ version, not the vanilla version, otherwise it will not read all cultures and leave them bonus-less.

Any settings or additional mods that make the AI smarter/more aggresive et cetera? I want to increase the difficulty.

Simply turn up the difficulty setting.

Simply turn up the difficulty setting.

Done that, but it doesn't appear to do anything apart from giving the AI more income?

I doubt you'll find mods that make the AI smarter. It has already been "taught" a few more things in the mod, so far as it can be influenced via modding.
As for "more aggressive", I am not sure. But keep in mind that mods can't really access the hardcoded AI behavior, so a mod that makes the AI more aggressive might actually also make it more stupid (i.e. "declare war more often, regardless of whether you can win").

I personally feel like several parts of the game are already more difficult in CK2+, but I understand some people might seek even more challenge. But apart from increasing the ingame difficulty (I'm actually unsure what this does exactly), changing some game rules or choosing a more difficult starting position, there's not much that can be done in that regard.

Theatrum Orbis Terrarum is out of date and therefore doesn't work. Tested it both on CK+ and on vanilla. Anyone can recommend a graphical overhaul for the map of CK+? Thanks.

TOT did run perfectly on the beta builds of CK2+. Are you sure you didn't have a corrupted file ?

I can recommend In heavens Cartographic map. Beautifully stylized map and pale colors (with long playing, intense colors can be tiring, especially pink Byzantines). The disadvantage is that it is not adapted to CK2+, so there are traces of old riverbeds on the map, which changes the mod - this applies to the Vistula River and the Danube (in fact, it does not seem to be disturbing in the game). The advantage is that it does not burden the computer's memory like Vanila. The second is LTM + Vanila. It has a bizarre installation system (it's part of HIP), but really nice textures. He suffers from the same ailment as the previous mod (it is not adapted to CK2+), but here the problem can be solved easily by removing colourmap.dds, colourmap_water.dds files from the map/terrarian folder.

I have tested every damn map mod out there and none worked. I reinstalled and tried every trick in the book. Then I figured out the solution. I had to copy the mod of the map into CK+ folder. It worked.

Sounds like those map mods need a 'dependencies' line added to the .mod file to work with + then, or just do what you did.

I don't really know much about the rest of them, but don't use Shattered World. Plus already HAS a shattered world mechanic.

Can't find Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, except for a steam version which hasn't been updated since 2016. Is this the one ? And does it work with the current version of Plus (and the last DLC, which add a new part of the map) ?

Is there a sub-mod / compatible mod with Ck+ that adds honorary titles and changes the cultural localizations like HIP?
Was always a + player but once you got Erzkanzlers and Landgrafen its quite difficult to go back..

There's a Steve Carell gif on the internets that's applicable for this thread.

Not yet. And there won't be an official one, simply because it's a lot of work for little gain, and the main mod has other priorities.
But everyone is free to make new submods, so if you feel up for a challenge, you could give it a try.

Not helpful I know. But I started modding like this, adding something to Plus that I wanted. And this localisation thing shouldn't be particularly difficult to do, just time consuming.
