Shadows of Progress
Version 0.02.07
Description
Designed to be a lewd expansion to Victoria 3, Shadows of Progress is the first of this scale for the game. It takes many of the base game systems and expands upon them, adding plenty of NSFW content for players to enjoy. Keep in mind that this is a very early version of the mod, developed primarily by a single person.
Disclaimer: Not everything is complete or polished, but I am getting there slowly. Please report an bugs or incomplete content here https://forms.gle/kSTvBHWzTrjXuoWn9
While making Shadows of Progress, I have taken many considerations towards the potential for submods, and any are welcomed. Localization Versions are also welcome! For any questions, requests or assistance, join my Discord server through the link below.
