CK2 to EU4 converter not working

[copin]

It just recently stopped working, CK2 creates the mod file, and I can see the mod in EU4's startup screen, but when EU4 starts up it shows none of the converted save. It is just the default EU4 startup. Anyone else have this issue?

EDIT: It appears the mod is showing up as inactive as well in EU4. I was not in observe mode when I exported, so i'm not sure what else would cause this.

I had this issue while developing the EUIV converter for the VIET mod. I thought it was caused by my modifications but maybe its a vanilla problem.

Anyway, the fix should be easy, as it seems to be caused by the name of the "mod" file. You have 2 options:

Load your CK2 save as someone else (other than the character you were playing when you comverted) and export the game. With luck the new mod will load just fine.

Or simply change the name of the "mod" yourself. This will require you change both the folder's name and the .mod file, as well as opening with .mod file with notepad and changing the references to the old title within (make sure you know what youre doing). I got a mod in the same situation to work by changing the "mod" title to MYCK2CONVERT.

Hope that helps.

Thank you much! Both worked (I tested both just because I like to know multiple fixes)!

No worries I spent hours going over my modded converter wondering what the heck did I do that was causing that behaviour, until I just stumbled on that by some fluke

What exactly was it about the mod name that caused a problem? A space, or dash or something?

 

[copin]

No idea, it didn't look wrong at all, but when I changed it, it worked.

I'm not sure myself, tough a dash may be the culprit. In my case, I was alerted to this situation when someone sent me an "unconverteable" save called "Poland-Lithuania1443_01_05". Loading as someone else got me a mod callled "Iceland1443_01_05" which then works like a charm.
