About This File
Here is my imperfect, but satisfactory solution to the EPE-CBO incompatibility for 1.8. It assumes that you are using CFP
- All accessories and headgear work fine.
- EPE ethnicities have the CBO genes.
- No thin naked people anymore.
I followed an idea thebumpercar suggested in CBO's discord channel, which is to completely remove the EPE clothing. I substituted all clothing with the closest available in CBO and CFP. This patch may be a dealbreaker for other EPE users.
Personally, I'm more interested in the non-clothing aspect of EPE as well as being able to use Culture Extended, so I decided I can live with this (as long as I stop encountering weird naked people). I really wish I could have made clothing work, but it is way beyond my time availability and skill. I'm sure there are more incompatibilities that I have not squashed. For example, I'm not intending to fix the hundreds of starting DNAs, but I have not encountered any game-breaking bugs so far.
The general mod order is:
- Lots of stuff and events
- Carnalitas
- GUK Fix Carnalitas
- CFP
- EPE
- CFP + EPE compatch
- Stuff using EPE
- CBO
- CBO + CFP Compatch
- CBO + CFP + EPE Overrides (this mod)
- Carnal court
- CC + CFP Compatch
- More stuff
REMOVING BLACK FACES
As have been reported before, you need to remove EPE's FX folder inside the gfx folder. Note that if your mod list has other mods with an FX folder, you need to remove that as well. I noticed, for example, that the unofficial CK3 patch has an FX folder. I don't fully know the negative impact of such a deletion, but so far I haven't seen any negative consequences.
As I mentioned before, all this is supper hacky, and could bring problems down the line, but maybe it will motivate more people to help getting it to work better.
