DEI Remover 1.1.0 — Crusader Kings 3

[Stack of Turtles]

I don't see why I should care

[rusty_shackleford]

Thanks @Nooneatall

[Faceless_Sentinel]

More importantly since I ignored this turd completely, is the game actually any good if you remove the nonsense?

CK2 but less features and ugly plastic characters

@Nooneatall Can you, please, confirm or deny the part about less features than in Crusaders King 2?

[Vergil]

If you really believe that there are better version of this mod, give a link, I don't believe that it is not spam reported in steam workshop or any other place.

You edit 3 files in notepad. Do you need someone to link you .ini files when you want to change resolution options too?

You stated that someone else has already done the same work and published a mod with the same functionality. I want you, lying ******, proof your words with a link to existing mod to compare it.

This is what Nooneatall did:

► Show Spoiler

1.0.0

• Removes all possibility to become or encounter a sexuality that isn't heterosexual.
  Note: This doesn't completely eliminate all non-straight characters at this time, they are still a very tiny minority.
  For instance, you will see around 100 non-straight characters at start up (2 Asexual, 38 Bisexual, 10 Homosexual).
  I am looking for why these characters get created and will make a minor version update as I'm able to fix this.
• Removes the chance for children to become a sexuality other than straight completely.
• Removes the option to select a different sexuality at character creation.
• Removes the ability for women to get Martial education traits entirely or get traits like Gallant, etc.
• Removes the ability for women to get too high Diplomacy and Learning education traits, they are capped at 3.
  Women can still get the top education trait in Intrigue and Stewardship.
• Adjusts the range in which younger women are created because in the base game it favored creating much older women. If we think about it, a non noblewoman who was 25 - 30 + and unmarried would end up being a nun they would not be adventurers or warriors.
  The result of this is you will be much more likely to see younger women in the game instead of the much older women from before.
  For instance, the range of women created before were 16 - 26 and now they are 1 - 14.
  This will make the game slightly harder as women will take longer to mature to marriageable age.
• Adjusts the range of a woman being considered attractive and able to reproduce from up to 45 for reproduction down to 35 and reduces their attractiveness down to the same. Again, this makes the game slightly more difficult because there is a smaller window to marry and reproduce but it's much more realistic for the time period.

You can just download the mod and see that's it's just minor edits to 3 text files he can bloat the changlog all he wants.

[Vergil]

Guys can anyone send me a link confirming the existence of a settings menu and instructions on how to change the sound volume?

I know how to mod paradox games, I modded stellaris, I don't care how easy make changes, i care about set of changes that Nooneatall made.

CK2 but less features and ugly plastic characters

Yeah it has less features, it follow Paradox DLC release cycle stuff so CK2 just has a deluge of more stuff.
In some ways it's a more fun and better game than CK2, sometimes when you are playing CK2 you just press 5 times speed and zone out, in this game there's much more to do at any time. I think it's better in many ways but that's just my opinion.
I have about 335 hours in CK2 and 150 in CK3, I have made a mighty empire in both and it was more fun to blob in CK3.
I also think the UI and graphics are better.

It's a map painter with dog-**** AI, the worst warfare representation ever. Crusades are somehow even more broken than in CK2; this time, they completely removed naval from the game . Immersion-breaking faggotry: no death sounds (I am not even joking—they removed them because the devs were uncomfortable hearing them), no republics (probably will be added later on as a measly $30 DLC), ChatGPT-goofy, repetitive events, etc.

The only improvements are mobile 3D graphics, the dynasty system (pretty op and unbalanced in some areas), and the latest DLC, which made it possible to play with landless characters. The only thing I care about in CK3 over CK2 is the potential for total conversion mods because apparently, CK3 is more moddable. But considering that, for example, the AGOT mod still isn’t capable of making places like Moat Cailin, the Eyrie, and the Bloody Gate matter, while naval—an important part of the universe—is nonexistent in the base game, I doubt that claim.

I mean CK3 focusses more on the RPG part of the whole thing, it is less strategic and tactics. Which is not a bad thing tbh, but there is a reason why people tend to play CK2 over CK3. (not one of them since my autism isn't enough to bear CK2)

Holy **** bro xD

[Xenich]

Wait, so this whole argument is simply because someone made a quick mod that does some minor adjustments to an ini file to remove some DEI **** and since it is a simple change, what? He shouldn't have made it?

Or are you saying he should have just linked a quick text list of the things that need to be changed to do the same thing?

Or are you saying people should have just searched the net for some information on this already?

Or are you saying that they should have just looked in the ini file and figure out which ones changed these things in game?

I don't understand the complaint here? @Nooneatall made a simple task even simpler and we should be angry? I am confused.

I'm pretty sure that Vergil's complaint is that Noon insulted him in the OP. Which was in fact a bit dickish in my opinion.

ETA: The picture seems to have since been removed, though.

I think this is typical ****** behaviour: always beaching about something no matter how stupid it is.

[Vergil]

I think this is typical ****** behaviour: always beaching

Sounds more like lesbian behavior to me

[Nooneatall]

I was able to find most of the places gays were getting in and many of them were self inserts from the devs (look how quirky I am, I'm a bisexual Indian). So now when you start everyone is straight.
There's an event I'm tracking down that is generating bisexual characters during the game still though.

Yes but have you reinvented the wheel? If not, is it even a mod?

Now that I think about it, this doesn't really say what I wanted it to say.

I think the original advice was to just go modify the defines file and set the gay gen rate to 0. Unfortunately, although that does help a little you will still run into hardcoded gay characters created via events.
That's not even going into the GUI changes I made and plan to make more (remove sexuality as a search option, remove it from character sheet when I can guarantee gays don't exist anymore etc).
I'm biased because I'm putting in the work but I think this is a valid mod.

Edit: @Jordy is based

[Vergil]

I guess if you're a fat **** on welfare this seems like "putting in work" yea.

[Hlad-a-Wzor]

I registered an account the forum specifically to express my gratitude. Brilliant!

[dagal]

Also registered to thank the author, it is a well done thorough cancer removal. The only thing I am not quite sure of is why is this in 00_defines.txt:

RANDOM_CHARACTER_DIPLOMACY_MAX = 1

Other skills are untouched, and it looks too global to be related to DEI stuff. A mistake, maybe?

I wanted to drop some useful commands I've been using as well.
At the start of a new game, to straighten every leftover homo:

effect = { every_living_character = { set_sexuality = he } }

After that, I use these commands once and my game has not generated any homo character in a year so far:

effect = { set_generated_asexuality_chance = 0 }
effect = { set_generated_bisexuality_chance = 0 }
effect = { set_generated_homosexuality_chance = 0 }

Specific to this mod, to add the woman trait to all women who are still missing it:

effect = { every_living_character =  { limit = { is_female = yes } add_trait = woman } }

Have fun!

[quetzalcoatl]

I'm happy to remove homosexuals part of the mod (I already did in my file after my carefully groomed heir decided to be gay) but will likely utilize dagal's fix as well if I start a new game

What I've really been missing in CK3 is something to prevent race-mixing. Why are there Nubians in my Holy Roman Empire? Why is my Iberian stallion heir in an affair with a pox-riddled infertile gypsy? Why are Muslims giving me gifts, becoming my friend, or even presuming to talk to me? I don't know how you could achieve it, but this needs to end.
Made this in photoshop real quick. Something like this. I don't know exactly how, but in my ideal world this is default applied to anyone above the "extreme malus" section. Maybe the extreme malus section could also have a minor malus to dissaude any fraternization attempts.

[Do0my]

military traits need updating, they dont include the recent changes

[Oyster Sauce]

@Vergil need you to update this one

[Vergil]

@Vergil need you to update this one

My father-in-law is a modder. He is insanely gifted. We were looking at a text document together years ago and I asked him what it would take to mod it today. I will never forget his answer…

“We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”

[TheCountofGreenwoods]

CK3 is one of my favourite games and this mod has really improved my experience. Is there any chance we can get an update now the Khans of the Steppe is out? How can we contribute? I look forward to the other planned ideas.

edit - I think there is some formatting issues in the family tab

Guy who maintained the mod stopped posting, anyone is welcome to take over it.

Shame. I've tried to mod CK3 but I have no experience and struggle to find time, I'd be happy to pay someone to update this and add some other ideas I have.

Isn't this txt files? Surely AI can do it

[Mikeal]

While on it could you give every Swedish character **** trait?
