Hey guys, just looking for quick advice: I've got base Stellaris on GOG ages ago, plus a couple of the more essential early DLCs, but now I want to seriously get into the game after years, and there are a whole lot of Steam Workshop mods that seem to be essential nowadays. However, I don't want to re-buy the whole game on Steam all over again, so... can I just get the base version, now that it's on sale, download the workshop mods, and then use Irony to load them into my already existing GOG version instead? Also, if we're at it, which are the most essential DLCs that are needed by this mod?

 

Or should I just bite the bullet, get that stupid subscription thing for a month to play the full game on Steam, and cancel once I inevitably get my fill with the new expansion pack and the mods and whatnot?

You can add mods to the GOG version by;

 

1. In the game launcher go to Mods -> "Upload Mod" -> "Create Mod" to create the folder and .mod file needed in your Users/{user}/Paradox/Stellaris/mod folder (the same one you put mods from this site in).

2. Go to Steam Workshop Downloader :: IO and follow the steps to download the ones you want.

3. Extract the downloaded mod into the mod folder you created in step 1.

Hey all so i just looked in the mod files and in the policies file there is nothing under "Whore" so i don't think it is this mod that adds that i do remember that there was one a addon for this mod that i remember hearding about that did something like this but i think that already got deleted. so yeah this here is the policies file for lustful void and as you can see there is nothing to do with this from what i can see.

Hey all so i just looked in the mod files and in the policies file there is nothing under "Whore" so i don't think it is this mod that adds that i do remember that there was one a addon for this mod that i remember hearding about that did something like this but i think that already got deleted. so yeah this here is the policies file for lustful void and as you can see there is nothing to do with this from what i can see.

The discussion was not about lustful void, but about this mod on steam: Varied Monster Girls

[Jade514]

yeah that makes sense also how that is on the steam workshop i will never know since valve loves to censor but it is somehow i guess.


Also on another note is anyone having issues with not being able to make a machine intelligence on the new update using lustful void? or is that just me.

That ain't the dev, that's a stolen mod from THAT forum, long story short just report it as stolen, anyone that frequents that part of the internet may be able to tell the modder that his mod is being posted on steam

What I meant was, we band together to get that mod removed from steam. More numbers mean that it is more likely Steam will investigate.

Mod creator posted that it may be a week or two for when LV is updated to the new DLC/Update of Stellaris. Think that was about a few days ago though.

I mean, I can understand the feeling, but to what end?  Huzzah the community banded together and got the drug dealer to move to the next street over?  They don't have any monetization links on the workshop page so it's not like that would hurt the uploader (regardless if they're the actual dev) and there's plenty of sites that will happily continue to host it.  I mean:

 

https://www.reddit.com/r/ElderScrolls/comments/v6gsfa/modding_really_be_like/

 

The bottom site in question has been around for YEARS, getting it removed from Steam doesn't really accomplish anything.  Keep in mind you start a crusade against adult content on Steam it may end up going further than you intended.  There's plenty of content on LL, even in the Stellaris section that would be crossing the line for a lot of people and most people are happy Steam's relaxed their stance on adult content.

You ask people who can't see the difference between real world and fiction to keep something in mind, are you serious?

Just a few morons try to virtue signaling on 18+ NSFW site.

Btw, that's probably why comments are closed on a mod page on Steam, because stupid people can't stop writing some BS essay about how a few flavor lines of text inspire predators to "go on a hunt". 

Pathetic, TBO.

Instead of fighting against REAL issue they fighting against weirods on NSFW platforms who just made a goddamn mod, who, BTW, didn't violate anyone.

Do you also not clean up because the dirt just goes someplace else?

If there's one major request I'd have for the balance mod it would be to first remove the option to swap resource production of the modded facilities. As it stands, the modded research facilities if told to focus on research outperform the regular research facilities, which is just bonkers. At least if they're forced to use their primary production which gives reduced research but also gives commodities, it'll be a bit better.

 

Second would be to make the new buildings replacements for old buildings that you get with specific civics, instead of them being for every Empire, which would soften the blow from them being a bit overtuned.

I don't believe that's 100% accurate.  I swear last I looked, base sexologist output is lower than base researcher.  The catch is it's a sex job and boosted by tech/traits which boost sex job and assuming you're playing a custom race, you've probably got a lot of buffs (comparatively) to sex jobs.  Early game buffs to researchers are harder to come by, especially if not playing with any mods that allow you to add/stack research buffing traits.  So I think (could be wrong) it's not the lab production itself that's the problem, it's the amount of buffs you can get, especially early game.

 

Also keep in mind you can't get access to them right away in most cases, so you have to use vanilla labs at first and if you're focused on sex job output, your regular research capabilities are going to suffer.

One. A number of US states, like Idaho, legalized "selling your twelve-year-old kids out for prostitution marriage" in real life. I think more people ought to be talking about that, including in fictional contexts. A mod that lets you make villains who literally do stuff like that -- which, notably, requires them to be Fanatic Authoritarian and imposes massive penalties on the happiness of the lower class -- is no more objectionable than letting you have villains who carry out ethnic cleansing or devour their enemies. Both of which are already in Stellaris.

 

Two. There are a lot of adults who have the body types this mod is celebrating in real life, especially in Asia. This is one reason you see a lot of this art coming out of Japan. I can understand being squicked out by fictional stories of actual child abuse, but how old someone looks has literally nothing to do with the morality of dating them, and fantasizing about something is not the same thing as doing it in real life. Otherwise, I would be pregnant.

 

Three. Every single time in history that people have made a big fuss over "groomers" and "pedophiles," it's in order to dehumanize a group of people. Seriously, just look at the way people talked about Jews and homosexuals / transsexuals in pre-WWII Germany, or Black men during Jim Crow. This talk is dangerous, and is going to get people killed and get everything you love banned from the internet, even your wholesome mod filled with sluts taking cock where you can impregnate the galaxy.

 

You only think your revulsion at a fictional story carries moral weight because you were brainwashed to think that by extensively-documented radfem psyops, who want to get rid of tr*****s and f*gs. It's literally the queer / female / wholesome gen z flavoured version of incel, nofap, and redpill, and it's just as fash. It's a cult. Stop being a cultist. And if you're not a cultist, stop preaching their incel shit in my house.

 

Just coming out of lurking to clean up, don't mind me.

LV should add a random event where this exact post is referenced in the words of a radicalist speaker trying to rise to power on one of the player's planets, and the only option available to them is to jettison the speaker into space and join the trash orbiting that planet.
