Please update the description/images so that they actually show the bonuses from the new trait tiers. Maybe I'm a minority here, but if I'm looking at a mod I absolutely don't want to have to subscribe/download it and start a game with it to see what it actually does.

The description doesn't really say much. Unfortunately I don't understand what the mod is supposed to do and what advantage it brings?

@David

I've uploaded my version here: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956974755

Good mod for better eugenics. I would however recommend that you edited the decision file. Remove everything that the mod do not touch since it might interfere with other mods. And for safety rename the file :)

Nevermind it does

Does this work with Fallen Eagle?

go for it. I'm new to ck3 modding so would be interested to see how u do it. :)

@David Interesting, seems like you're going for catching all the references. which does allow for continuing the scaling where it's relevant, so it definitely has it's advantages

Would you be okay with me putting up my version as a compatibility focused alternative ? Or I can turn it over to you, for that purpose (would you be okay with me putting up a Github in that case ) ? I try and provide the source for all my mods for people who don't use Steam / Paradox Workshop or who want to tinker / submit changes themselves )

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/50dblcqf6ich9qg/AACTab3WBLyv8rcRmegVmmtea?dl=0 this is my progress so far

@kalanyr ty so much. No, I purposely made the chances 0 because these traits are way to strong in my opinion :)

@David
I decided to try my hand at this and the current progress is here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0bpjs3wytkt5x77/AACtQFd8qvPHz7tF-pgJ-u9La?dl=0

It's not quite done: I still need to remove the bonus traits if they are invalidly picked in Ruler Designer ie without the corresponding 3 trait but I need to get some sleep).

Did you want to have a chance of the bonus traits spontaneously appearing in the world ? (The current setup means that you can only access the bonus traits either through Ruler Designer or through inheriting a rank 3 trait from both parents, which has a chance to cause rank 1 of the corresponding bonus trait to show up).

im working on it. It's just a bunch of files that I have to edit and things to add. Will take a while :)

On kalanyr's point on the standalone/addon traits: if you'd like to do that I can walk you through it on my discord server or steam messages, cos I know exactly what they're talking about, or could make it for you. If you're not interested in what kalanyr is talking about I'll likely make a mod with what they're on about myself, cos I've already made similar things before.
(to be clear: an example of what they're talking about getting, say, an "extra intellect" trait in addition to the genius trait if both parents are geniuses, rather than genius trait turning into another trait, so that this mod plays nice with things in the base game and other mods that play with the genius trait)

Have had more of a look and references to traits with specific levels are sprinkled everywhere to the point that getting everything would make this mod extremely incompatible just by the sheer number of files it touches.

It might actually be easier to make these "stand-alone" traits, increase the rate they appear at then for born characters use the architected ancestry method to strip these traits if the character doesn't already have the corresponding Level 3 traits. For generated characters I guess you could use random_yearly_everyone_pulse , anyone who dies in less than a year probably doesn't matter if they have some extra bonuses for a little bit.

The Beauty traits also can't apply the morphs you're referencing (because they don't exist) and it looks ridiculously complicated to fix that (every ethnicity has it's own specifications for each beauty level). I think it's better to just use the Beauty 3 morphs and then you only have to edit the complexion_beauty gene to include the additional traits.

Hmm, because of the has_trait check you also need to check for (whatever)_ as well. I wondered why I wasn't getting enough matches.

Regarding what The Renegade said, there's actually a lot that checks for specific levels of genius in particular (artifacts and death notices come to mind, so might be worth doing a search for trait_(whatever) and seeing where things are checked by name )

You forgot to put trait_ at the start of the localization for the physique trait names.

And more_genetic_traits needs to be UTF-8 BOM for it's encoding (it's currently missing the BOM)

This messes with things like getting the strengthen bloodline decision as the requirements don't recognize the new traits. The decision needs to edited to include these new traits.

Maybe golden bloodline. idk. It doesn't say that level 1 congenital traits are guaranteed.

Or do you mean a mod like the 4th blood legacy perk with higher tier traits?

You mean a mod like this ?

Is it possible you could make a mod where you can guarantee having at least level 1 congenital traits. I'd rather guarantee having genius than a bunch of RNG children.

Thank you David
