That is exactly what it means since that is the only thing you can see of the mod in Empire Creation. Do the other mods you have installed work? If youo don't have any other obvious mods try installing the loadscreen mod the same way you did the LV mod. That will show you i´whether you installed the mod correctly.

I have UI-OD installed, and that is loading just fine. I've checked the folder situation, everything is in the correct folder. It's being detected by both Irony and the Paradox launcher (I checked just in case). I installed a separate portraits mod just to see if it's a problem with local mods, but that one loaded just fine. Everything looks like it should be working.

The problem with psionics. He took the psionics elevation perk, built a brothel in the shopping district, and all the brothels disappeared at once. I haven't accepted the psionics tradition yet.

I don't quite understand how to build a Sexopolis. I see the decision, but it says "all district slots on the planet must be filled with city slots or equivalent". Forgive a noob, but I'm not sure what this means? Does this mean I need to populate each given district?

 

Also, since I'm asking, I got the pleasure ringworld ascension perk, but I can't figure out how to build a ringworld.

For the sexopolis, you just need to build only city districts on the planet up to planet maximum. That mmeans, no agri, no energy, no mining, and no other special LV districts.

 

For the ringworld, you need megaengineering AND the ringworld builders perk (Galactic Wonders?), before you can build pleasure ringworlds.

not sure if this mod is the reason stellaris locks up my pc when the loading screen reaches 5% has anyone had the same issue?

Thanks, I think this confusion was mainly the result of the "new" 4.0+ planet system, it was a bit confusing. 

 

Unrelated, different question: do bio-trophies not give bonuses to sexology? For reference, I'm playing sexbot: rogue servitor, virtuality, and turned my homeworld into a sexopolis. I know there are nurture bots... is it intended when playing sexbot to ignore bio-trophies? Presumably nurture bots are the Sexbot equivalent of RS bio-trophies. But I'm not 100% sure what the intended playstyle is here, since LV didn't remove the bio-trophies and the vanilla Rogue Servitor stuff. Should I remove my organic sanctuaries/paradises, and replace them all with nurture zones?

That just seems to happen even without LV for me with somewhat heavy mod playsets, I have that issue too, but I just leave it for a couple of mins and it finishes loading without issue for me. It's more of a hang than a lockup from my experience.

 

Edit: okay the devs put this in the hotfix patch notes: 

Quote

We have also seen occasional reports of players freezing at 5% loading. If you are experiencing this issue please first try updating your video card drivers. If that doesn't work: right-click Stellaris, go to Properties, Launch Options and put -opengl in the box, which should resolve this issue for most players.

So maybe not the same loading hang I'd been experiencing....

hi this isn't a question about lustful void, I'm looking for a mod for Cetana the endgame crisis, i couldn't use it before because i didn't have the machine age DLC, but now i do have it i cant find the mod and i was wondering if anyone here knew what happened to it or if its part of a bigger mod?

You know, now that you mention it I remembered using that mod. Wondered for a bit if I was just tricking myself or imagining it when I went through all my steam downloads and searched around on LL here. But, I have the old pack for 3.12- I doubt it's still compatible. I'm not sure what happened to it either.

Yeah i was wondering what happend to it my self since it seems to have vanished for no apparent reason, hopefully someone here might have an idea of why.

I'm going to be real- I don't even remember exactly where I downloaded it from. I could have sworn it was here on LL but looking around I don't even see the original anymore. Best of luck, I don't think it works anymore but the localization and whatnot is there.

quick question does it work in 4.2.3?

You are correct it was originally on LL i remember because i downloaded it from here but i am honestly not sure why it got removed and i would love to know why since it just seems to have completely vanished and yeah there is not even any references to it anymore asides from us talking about it which is making me think the LL Moderators may have gotten rid of it for some reason.

Anyone else experience that the Escort job is broken? As in it pops refusing to work there.

Is it still possible to genetically engineer species to be all male or all female? I'm 300 years in and through most of the tech tree, finished the genetics tradition and everything yet still don't have these traits available.

It is still possible.

However I don't know how exactly it works since had no need of it. There is a society tech called "Advanced Feminization Techniques" which unlocks policies.

Those apply to your entire empire though.

There might be an option to genetically alter species later in that research line but I haven't reached it in my current playthrough. I just got the game to progress past a certain year witout crashing.

I've been avoiding the whole "feminization" thing since I want it to apply to specific species. When I want everyone on Utopian Abundance, but still want males in my empire, it makes it pretty hard to use. Since I'm already hitting repeatables I think I'm going to have to just cheat the male and female only genes in on the species I want.

They *should* show up after researching the transformation candy techs, I forget which. Sexual? Masculine/Feminine? If you still don't see it, it may be bugged.

transformation candy techs,

Well shit, I thought they were taken out of the mod or something. I never even got the research option for them.

wondering the same thing. And I kinda don't want to launch a game, put 10 hours into it just to encounter a game breaking bug. So if anyone knows that it works fine, I'll wait until someone tells me before I download the mod 😅

I don't know why this is happening, but transformation candy research never appears for me. I've tried to get it legit for literal hours now. The only prerequisite is Gene Tailoring right? Because I've had it for ages now.

On 4.2.4 I am currently on year 2301 without issues. I had issues before but I think those came from another mod since it's working fine after removing it.

 

Well, I have issues producing enough consumer goods and I got a slight energy deficit but I can offset this by trading my minerals and food. That isn't what you meant though.

So, a quick check with the console commands has confirmed that transformation candy is still in the game.  If you haven't had the chance to research it yet, it probably has something to do with the weights.  I can make some guesses, I guess?

There's this:

modifier = {
            factor = @ap_technological_ascendancy_rare_tech
            has_ascension_perk = ap_technological_ascendancy
        }

 

I didn't ever look at how the ascension perk boosted the chances to find rare tech before, but I do know the perk was changed with this year's updates.  Have you found Synth Sexbots or Hybridization Mastery? Those are both tagged with this, as well.  If that factor isn't defined anymore, it could be giving you a 0.

Didn't get any of them, no. And my first ascension pick was technological ascendancy. I gave up anyways and just forced all the candies and hybridization techs as choices through the console.
