But didn't you say last time this mod made you angry during translation?

Ah, there's no such thing, just saying that some of the group on my side are pissed off about this module incident because there's not a lot of countermeasures to it😂

"And here is the latest version of the mod's Chinese localization file. I used AI to assist with the translation, but I believe current AI excels at translating lengthy event texts—often producing better word choices and fewer errors compared to human translators. I've also had my group members and forum users test it, collecting their feedback for revisions, as I currently lack the bandwidth to review all the strings myself."

Thanks for the update, but I couldn't trigger any scenes beyond her wanting to come live with you. What are the event names, and is there a branch that I missed to get on it?

 

It feels like I am on the adoption path but it got cut off since I accepted the doppelganger daughter as my heir.

 

As for ideas, for the prostitute path more payments for playing, maybe leading to the prostitute becoming a pimp and selling the MC for gold?

 

Alternatively,  maybe teaching her to be a domme for gold if you want to go down that path instead.

There should be only one more scene after she arrives at court, and that one should trigger automatically after two months have passed.

That shouldn't have any impact on this event chain.

 

If you want to look at the script, it's in the event file. imu_events.0275 is the last of the new chain. It's triggered by 0274 before it.

The prostitute isn't malicious. I wanted her to be the nice, consensual sort of person. As a counterweight to all the not so nice things the PC has to suffer from both their doppelganger as well as the rival maid.

Strange, mine only goes up to event 0193. Maybe I downloaded the wrong version? I thought I grabbed the most recent but can't check right now.

0193 would be the Be Yourself path. I didn't change anything about that one.

How many endings are there currently? I'm kinda bad at navigating the imu events file. Also question to anyone really what are some fitting mods to this one? I tried this while having my entire default modlist active and it was a bit much (in terms of events firing, and some kinda interfering in some ways), any fun accidental interactions between this and other mods?

Four. One is for failing all challenges after the takeover, one is for submitting to the doppelganger in a sexual way, one is being nice to the rival maid and encouraging her to idolise the doppelganger less, one is for being nice to the rival maid and submitting to her in a sexual way. The former two and the latter two share a lot of content and are mostly just different flavours of the same general sort of ending.

The event fire rate is due to having to work with time constraints. If they were more spaced out you might very well end up having your character die to old age before having finished the story. Also, this story contains sexual elements and some people don't like the depiction of sex past a certain age. Lastly, it's a matter of immersion. Dragging it out too much seemed unfitting to me given the doppelganger's obsession with the player character.

 

As for events from this mod interfering with regular gameplay, that too is for immersion. Generally, I'd say this mod isn't fit for "normal" runs. It's a story to go through once, nothing more. Should have probably just written this as a Visual Novel instead, in retrospect. Sorry.

Oh sorry for being too vague I didn't mean this mod interfered with things I meant some other mods seemed to interfere with this one. I like how this one disrupts the vanilla gameplay. Sure its a story to run through but adding mechanics makes it more memorable. I was just asking for some potential other mods that would accidentally hook into playthrough of this mod, like let's say lust penalties or something. 

 

Last question is there any post ending content? Like things that will every now and then fire later, I know you said this shouldn't be used in normal run but I'm tempted to turn this into a challenge run lol. But for now I will just make a separate save with some other mods disabled.

Ah, I see. I can't give you an answer in that case. I basically only play with my mod for testing purposes and to that end make sure I have nothing else loaded that could interfere. But I'm sure somebody else can help you.

No, there is no content like this. The last events in the respective chains close off the story entirely. Next time you'd see anything from this mod is when you were on some more or less distant heir who fulfills the criteria for the doppelganger to appear again. But the content for that would then be the exact same again.

I fail to reach conclusion before age 40 when event stops. I tried 4 times. 2 times have not reached losing titles. Once beaten dopleganger, tried one more time. Lost to it but was not able to reach conclusion.

Could you be more specific, please? What exactly are you doing and what isn't working?

For instance, age 40 only matters for the first part of the story, where the duel at night will only happen when the character is not yet 40. For everything after there is no age cap. Also, there currently is barely any content for actually winning said duel. Most of the story instead rests on losing it. 

[Zdun]

ok so I went that route of losing. Got a few events with doppleganger and maid. But everything ended when I managed her to get some clothes that make her breasts more visible. On the contrary my character lost dynasty and died like that at age 55. Last event I got was 40 so I assumed she is too old to get anything more.

No, age is not restricting anything past the takeover. However, most events require your character and/or your doppelganger to be available (not travelling, not ill, not wounded, not leading an army). Most of this mod's events check every quarter of a year for whether or not they can fire, but it's random when exactly. So if RNG is being a bitch or the doppelganger AI decided now was a good time to go to war or to travel you can end up without events for a prolonged period of time. In my test runs I did encounter this issue every once in a while. Also sometimes the doppelganger dies early due to shenanigans and then everything stops as well. There is only so much I can do to tell the game to behave.

If you want to, you can try the files I attached to this post to see if that helps. They shorten the time before the takeover can happen and roughly double the rate of events checking for whether or not they can fire. imu_events.txt goes into IMU/events, just replace when prompted. imu_on_actions.txt goes into IMU/common/on_action, again just replace when asked.

One thing that might be relevant here. I play on hard. In general there are more wars(so doppelganger is less available) on hard so I guess that could an issue there. Thanks

If you keep having an issue with the doppelganger being busy all the time, you can go into IMU/common/scripted_triggers and remove the following bit from the two triggers inside the txt file (Warning: This will cause the storyline to start even with a non-adult character, which then obviously breaks the mod as it wasn't intended for that scenario. As such, make sure your character is an adult before starting the story.):

is_available_even_at_war_adult = yes

Great work! Will you update this mod to adapt to the new DLC? There is a new title aka Hegemon, will you add this part to your mod?

[The Lord]

Updated the mod to the current version number (1.18.0.2), fixed some minor things here and there, and included the new clothes from the All Under Heaven DLC.

 

The biggest change is that I added a Game Rule for the government types in which the story can play out. The default setting allows only for Feudal and Clan governments, but you can change it to Unrestricted to ignore government type. The reason for me adding this rule is that with all the different government types we have by now certain parts of event effects simply break as the core mechanics of the mod were made before e. g. Administrative Governments became a thing. As such, playing with any government other than Feudal or Clan may or may not work out. If you want to try, go right ahead. I just won't adapt the story for other government types as I'd rather write new, more fitting stories for those if I ever find the motivation.

 

As always, the EPE compatch won't be updated until EPE has been updated.

so the content I got to the most was Maid beating me and taking over my land BUT after that my character had no land or some bug. I never saw rival maid or prostitute, do they appear after you lose to main Maid and she replaces you? or bad rng on my end? or do I have to chose mean options to main Maid for rival to appear?

 

i see you mentioned PC needs to be straight for prostitute before

What/Who were you playing as? Were you Feudal/Clan?

The rival maid and prostitute both only appear after the doppelganger takes over. But that requires you to still hold a province. Normally, you would be left with a single county so the story could continue.

I was playing bohemia, but it got weird cuz when rival maid took over I didnt become unlanded, but at the same time I didnt had any holdings, I will try again in case it was a one time bug

This sort of thing would usually suggest that the character in question was, for one reason or another, inelligible to hold land. This can happen because of inheritance laws (e. g. male-only), government type (e. g. as the Emperor of China), or holding type (e. g. a temple as a feudal ruler). I couldn't reproduce it in a quick test run on my end so far.

Uh just want to make sure, this mod fires only if you play as a Female character correct?

 

For example lets say you start as a male character -> make your realm -> your heir is female -> you die and your heir is now the player character(you take over), will the mod fire up if this happens?

 

Or do you have to be female character from the start? I am just making sure i understand correctly.

You are correct, this mod's main event chain only fires for female characters.

Yes, it can fire. The game checks for it randomly every year. All that matters is your currently played character.
