About this mod Machine translation

Module overview:

Everyone knows that the names of relatives in Asia are very detailed, but CK3 uses "in-laws" as a replacement for this module, mainly to solve the "relatives" problem. Do you think this is pseudonymous like other hard iteration mods? Actually no... The module is divided by age, there are brothers, younger brothers, older sisters and younger sisters. But this pattern mainly depends on your wife's title, such as: father-in-law, mother-in-law, uncle, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and Tang, cousin, uncle, uncle, aunt - there are many such titles. Everyone can slowly discover it when entering the game. Relative titles are a deep issue – don’t touch them unless you have a reason

Compatibility

This module contains many graphical interface modifications, so graphical interface modifiers are not compatible.

Compatibility Tutorial

If you want to write a compatibility patch, find a module that you want to support files with the same file names as mine. Open my file and find "#CKT", you can find a string like this #CKT STARTtext = "[Character.Custom2('MaxheatRelationHeader', GetPlayer)]" #CKT END: Copy #CKT START to #CKT END and paste it to the relative position of the module you want to be compatible with.

Version update

1.1 - Added the level of great-nephew relationship, including maternal great-nephews and great-grandchildren - Fixed the "age of death" issue - Corrected the order in which the deceased children of the legal wife were converted into concubines - Changed the original names Si and Di to Si Fu and Difu - Added the forgotten eldest aunt, sister-in-law, eldest brother-in-law's wife and younger brother-in-law's wife. I just found out about this. This version actually adds a ranking function, similar to "brother, second sister, me, fourth brother, little sister". However, prior to this update, we removed this feature. why is that? Because CK3 does not have a formal birthday system, each character's birthday is roughly January 1, 867, and we cannot forcefully set it for "Pleiades". What problems does not having a birthday cause in rankings? It's not really a big problem, but you can't tell who is younger than you. Personally, I find it difficult to read. I'd like to know what everyone thinks: 1.2 - Added four CKT-specific features: legal wife, illegitimate child, dual kinship, deep direct bloodline - expanded deep kinship. In this version, we have expanded very deep kinship layers, about a few thousand titles, often referred to as "Eighteen Generations of the Jin Sect", so this module becomes quite thick as each layer grows exponentially. I think the compatibility will be relatively low, so I hope everyone can pay attention to this. Ancestor layer: grandfather, great-grandfather, great-grandfather, Tianzu, Liezu, great-grandfather, great-grandfather, distant ancestor, first ancestor; grandchild generation: grandson, great-grandson, great-great-grandson, Lai grandson, Ming grandson, Ren grandson, Yun grandson, Er grandson During the development process of version 1.2, a lot of things actually happened. Initially, we were developing a new module on the other side, so we had to stop and focus on CKT development. During this time, it was scrapped five or six times, constantly reworked, and endlessly tested. So 1.2 and 1.0-1.1 are completely different things. To be honest, I have forgotten what 1.0 looks like. During the development process, CKT also reached the ceiling of CK3, but we kept polishing it to an acceptable range, which is like forcing a luxury bed into a small bungalow. If you think we did a good job, why not buy us a cup of coffee? Thank you ~ [www.buymeacoffee.com].

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
