csirke128 Posted February 7, 2024 Posted February 7, 2024 (edited) View File EPE CBO Patch CBO compatibility patch for Ethnicities and Portraits Expanded. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2507209632 Requirement: This patch needs CBO Unofficial to work The patch is 3 separate mods. EPE CBO Base makes EPE compatible with CBO Unofficial Base. EPE CBO Animation makes EPE compatible with CBO Unofficial Animation. EPE CBO Mesh contains the blending shapes for CBO, this reduces the chances you would see clipping issues. Merged file (Base+Animation+Mesh in one mod): EPE CBO Patch Last updated 2025.11.11: EPE CBO Base 4.5.zip EPE CBO Animation 4.5.7z EPE CBO Mesh 4.5.7z EPE CBO Patch 4.5.7z Last updated 2025.11.22: EPE+ED CBO Base 1.3.zip EPE+ED CBO Animation 1.3.7z EPE+ED CBO Patch 1.3.7z EPE+CB CBO Animation 1.4.7z Last updated 2025.03.23: EPE+SD2 CBO Animation 1.0.1.zip Changes: common/bookmark_portraits: common/dna_data: Added the genes added by CBO to all the files. common/ethnicities: Merged the changes made by CBO and EPE gfx/models/portraits: Merged the changes made by CBO and EPE in male_head.asset and female_head.asset Merged the CBO and EPE clothes files. EPE mostly uses meshes that are part of the original game, so just had to update the .asset files so that these clothes will use the attributes added by CBO. There were a few clothes that included separate mesh files, but these looked similar to some existing clothes, so i replaced the meshes with the CBO compatible ones. Made the cloaks compatible with CBO gfx/portraits/portrait_modifiers: Added nude option to custom clothes Load order: EPE Carnalitas 2.8+ CBO Unofficial Base 1.6+ CBO Unofficial Animation 1.6+ CBO Unofficial Mesh 1.6+ EPE CBO Base EPE CBO Animation EPE CBO Mesh If using only CBO Unofficial Base EPE Carnalitas 2.8+ EPE Unofficial Base 1.6+ EPE CBO Base Compatibility: CFP + EPE Patch can be found on the CFP mod page Elf Destiny - EPE+ED CBO Patch https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3114064450 Load order: EPE Elf Destiny Carnalitas 2.8+ CBO Unofficial Base 1.6+ CBO Unofficial Animation 1.6+ CBO Unofficial Mesh 1.6+ EPE+ED CBO Base EPE+ED CBO Animation EPE CBO Mesh Base Game: 1.11.5, CBO: 1.8.4, EPE CBO Patch: 2.2- Base Game: 1.12.1, CBO: 1.8.4, EPE CBO Patch: 3.0+ Base Game: 1.14.x, CBO Unofficial 1.6+, EPE CBO Patch: 4.0+ Base Game: 1.16.x, CBO Unofficial 1.8+, EPE CBO Patch: 4.4+ Submitter csirke128 Submitted 02/07/24 Category Crusader Kings 3 Requirements Ethnicities and Portraits Expanded, Character Body Overhaul Edited March 10, 2024 by csirke128 4

I think it would mess with the genes too much, but i guess if the save is not ironman, you can try enable the mod, and see what happens. Lot of the stuff that EPE does i think applied at startup, so if you just add it, it won't change the existing character's genes. 1
MisterGrim Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 Uh which one do I install for the file? I understand the patch but then the weight and the opt age? What do they do?
sagimine1 Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 Is the RICE opt folders are for the Rajas of India mod?

If you use EPE only, you only need EPE CBO Patch 1.2.1.zip If you also use Culture Expanded, you need to add EPE CBO Patch Opt Culture Expanded.zip, just extract into same folder, it will merge into 1 mod. If you also use RICE (Regional Immersion and Cultural Enrichment), then also add EPE CBO Patch Opt RICE.zip If you also use Regula Magistri 2, add EPE CBO Patch Opt Regula Magistri 2.zip This is unrelated to the mod, but didnt want to create a new mod topic for it: CBO Weight + Barber.zip It fixes the bug that CBO weight sliders and muscularity doesnt work with Barber. This patch changes gene morphs, so that characters dont look so old: EPE CBO Patch Opt Age.zip I think EPE characters look a bit too old, this one definately goes the other way, i made aging 10-20% as effective, so a character might stop looking older than like 30-40 year old.

So where would I put the weight and age patches in load order? Under the EPE CBO patch? Also thanks for replying so quick Edit: Oh it seems to have put them in the files after extraction. That was what I was supposed to do yeah? Edited February 13, 2024 by MisterGrim New information

Yea, the patches just add to the existing mods, so you only end up with 1 mod in the end So the CBO patch just overwrites a file in CBO. Could make them into separate mods, but seems more of a hassle. 1

Rajas of India was the old name. Rajas of Asia;https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2509174436&searchtext=roa, is the changed name from last year? Any who, it may not be compatible. Due to Rajas of Asia does not have a standalone EPE compatch.

I added a patch, but i think its shows the limits of my method to make them compatible. The hair changes are attached to clothing changes, and those are triggered by adding clothing fx to the cultures. So could not add the chinese and japanese hairstyles, and they are using mongol hairstyles now. Ill go back to EPE and try figure out a way to keep the clothing fx triggers on the cultures, and somehow remove only the incompatible clothes, and then do the same for ROA, maybe then the hairstyle and headgear changes made by these mods could be preserved. I think there should be no nude characters (except the one that randomly happens in india, i still havent figured out how to fix that), but only did a quick scan.

LGmax Posted February 18, 2024 Posted February 18, 2024 I‘ve followed the suggested load order and get into the game, the body and the tits size are displaying correctly in the ruler designer memu, but when enters the game, the bodyy shape for all characters remain same. I've checked all mods loaded after CBO, nothing changed the models, kinda weird, plz help!

CBO uses traits to change the bust size. you should try add the trait in the ruler designer thats responsible for the larger bust size. (I checked that adding the trait will cause your character to have bigger bust) I checked the weight slider, and that seems to transfer over. I think the body fat distribution also transfers over correctly. What do you mean by body here? For other characters, maybe you should check out That mod seems to be what you are looking for.
e3v2 Posted February 19, 2024 Posted February 19, 2024 Hi, csirke128, I found some characters with wrong skin color and no hat bug, is this normal?

Hi, for the skin color, check if you have any mods that change the skin palette (gfx/portraits/skin_palette.dds), like for example Regula Magistri 2. Then either remove those skin palette changes, or add in the EPE skin palette to the compatibility patch, like what the RM2 comp patch does. For the headgear, are you using latest version 2.1.2? In 2.1 i fixed a bug related to headgear genes, that prevented characters from getting headgear due to the indexes being over 256. Not sure if upgrading will work, might be worth checking in a new game see if they still have no headgear. (in my game, i can see headgear in England, China, and in Japan the king wears one, but the counts seem to not, not sure if its a bug ill check, i could not use the Japanese clothes added by the mod) 1

joemann Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 Followed your instructions and it mostly works. Thank you for the great work. I have ones question do you also need the CFP EPE Comatability patch in the load order or is this replaced by your CBO patches? I have it in my load order just after the CFP and EPE mods and it does not cause problems I think. I am just wondering if I could leave it out. I also use the Better Barbershop beta and its CBO compatability patch but where do they go in the load order, above or below the CFP CBO array?
