About this mod Machine translation
- Give a surname
Note: For right-click interaction, you must be a kingdom or above title holder. Costs 500 Prestige, 100 Gold, and 50 Legitimacy. Click and enter text: If the other party already has a clan and is not the head of the family, create a branch named after the entered text (for the effect, refer to the original "Create a Branch" decision, the administrative system will also create a family title when the conditions are met); if the other party is already the head of the family and cannot separate the branch, then the existing family (including the clan when he is the clan leader) will be renamed to the given surname; if the other party is of humble origin and has no clan, directly create a new clan named after the entered text. The opponent receives permanent character modifications: monthly prestige +0.2, diplomacy +1, opinion towards lord +10, vassal opinion +10. His family gains modifiers for 50 years: Prestige +0.1 per month, Diplomacy +1. The other party gains 100 prestige, has a favorable opinion of you +20 (lasts for 20 years), and you gain a favor from the other party. It cannot be used on oneself, nor can it be used repeatedly on someone who has already modified the character with the given surname. AI can also be used (given its own family name) but is less willing. In conjunction with "Surname displayed as family name", after a surname is given, the surname on the character interface will be displayed as the given family name.
- The surname is displayed as the family name
Note: Does not change the underlying clan affiliation. Use custom localization to read the family name, overwriting the original "surname first" and the family name in the Japanese character name template. After a branch is created or a surname is given, the surname in the character's name is displayed as the family name; the family name of the main family is usually the same as the clan name, and the appearance remains unchanged. The clan interface, clan prestige, etc. still use the clan name.
Update: Fix error log Data error in loc string 'CHARACTER_FULL_NAME_NICKNAMED_DYNASTY_ALWAYS_FIRST'
The name template no longer uses Character.Custom, but instead uses the $HOUSE$ placeholder that comes with the original version.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
