Playing CK2+ with patch 2.4.2 with all major DLC sans Horse Lords. As a Catholic king of Sicily and Africa, what do I need to do to form the Latin Empire? Does the Byzantine Empire need to be dissolved like in the base game, and if it does, how can I do it? They already lost Constantinople (not to me, but to a separatist rebellion) which I thought would break them, but didn't.

Thanks, I didn't even know that existed because I hadn't bothered to register my CK2 key (such a pain to copypaste all those keys...)

I'm not sure, but seeing the title in the game files it seems that it requires Kaliopolis and Thrake, while being Catholic or one of it's heresies, without the Byzantine Empire existing. Naturally it also needs the usual like being an adult and having ruled for 5 years and so on.
It also seems to me like the Latin Empire is automatically formed if a Catholic ruler takes the Byzantine Empire by force.
Let me revise that statement: if aCathilic ruler takes Byzantium at all, the Latin Empire is formed, the Byzantine is forfeited, and you will lose a bunch of vassals.
I believe this is vanilla, since "historically" the latin empire emerged when western byzantium fell in the 4th(i think?) crusade. Don't know if they actually get a decision to form it in vanilla too, but the catholic flavour title for the byzantine empire is the "latin empire".

In Plus they're two physically different titles. When a catholic becomes Byzantine emperor the byzantine empire is destroyed and the latin empire rises
