What is your favorite mod for CK3?

[jongamun]

I wanna play with my friend with mods. But don't know any cool mods that make game more intresting and create new experience.

 

[tilly]

my personal favourites are more game rules (mainly for the ability to turn ai seduction off - theres enough event adultery that its still basically everywhere, you just tend to have your chaste soulmate spouse cheat on you far less) and basically the entire suite of steam user morvens balance and bugfix mods (for self evident reasons). also, of course, the two all-timers community flavor pack and ethnicities and portraits expanded

for your purposes, though, youre better off going for big total conversion overhauls and keeping the actual number of mods to a minimum. your mod load order also affects checksum and at present theres no way of sharing playsets and load orders and stuff, so youd all have to manually make sure every single mod is in the same spot individually or youd find yourselves unable to play together. just way too much of a hassle to be worth it
given that, might i suggest something like the lion and the lilies, or tales of ireland? i myself have recently gotten really into godherja but that one kind of needs a bit of a lore investment to properly appreciate, so while i personally really like it and think its cool, for the purposes of messing around with the boys its a little ill-suited. give it a shot if you have the patience and attention span to deep dive a little and read descriptions and stuff but probably do that individually and come together for a multiplayer game if it resonates with all of you

- Immersive Realm Espionage
- Dark Ages 2 (this one is unavailable outside my disk and has been one of my hobbies for the last 22 months or so... it truly modifies gameplay, introduces hundreds of changes and additions, but is not for the faint of heart)

Immersive Realm Espionage can be made compatible with Show Me Your Council and Show Me Your Court by reading its description and implementing the simple changes found there.

This list would also be incomplete without the mention of Sinews of War the first successful attempt to have a major, all encompassing mod done for CK3. Unfortunately it is incompatible with many others on the list and for me is not good enough at this point to pick instead of a host of the other ones plus my own at the end of the list.

There is also another mod - Unified UI - that can be also very important for compatibility issues regarding the interface (for instance, it lets you bypass the editing of Immersive Realm Espionage) but not every mod that alters the interface is done with it in mind and as such and in the list I provided it endsa up breaking one or two capital mods, so I dropped it from the list.

Princes of Darkness. It's a World of Darkness Vampire mod.

I've been playing The Fallen Eagle a lot lately. Imperial Competence is a fun mechanic.

 

[schnizzle]

Rename Everyone

 

[x4077]

Rename Everyone

Amen to this. Additionally, any mod that makes the UI easier to deal with, of which there are too many to list.

 

[wulgman]

The ones you can't find on steam.

Better UI Scaling : Since I play on a smaller screen and the default UI scaling is terrible
Free Console Access : technically defunct, but haven't had any problems yet

...it's a pretty boring list.

LotR: Realms in Exile is really good for a total conversion mod. I love the attention to detail and how complete it feels.

If you want a longer and more all encompassing list, I'd recommend the mod list CMH, or Community Mods for Historicicity. The latest full list includes 48 mods, and you can get an easily available playset on their discord. Also eliminates the problem of different checksums. If you want something a bit shorter, there's also CMH lite, but I haven't tried that.
