I'll note that you only have to override a vanilla file if you're changing vanilla behavior rather than adding new stuff, and most non-TC mods avoid this as much as possible, so I actually am playing this mod and LF at the same time as a futa angel and haven't had either break so far, hence initially thinking adding some content was a manageable proposition before realizing it was a total conversion. Main blocker is that changing any event, vanilla or in another mod, requires overwriting the entire file; pretty much everything else you can edit individually. This becomes a massive pain when the original file gets changed in a patch and puts me and most modders off messing with vanilla events and makes inserting something into an event chain impractical.

 

(Also I only asked because you said you didn't have more ideas for the mod)

 

I'm glad you got both to work together without much trouble. Crusader Kings II is no longer in active development, so the worry about Paradox changing something can be ignored. Hence why I'm doing the total conversion now and overwriting the vanilla files to fit the setting itself. I did do modding for CK2 with Expanded Israel right after Sons of Abraham was released. I know the patch pain all too well. LOL

Also, minor localization note: the events for getting the sacred regalia seem to assume the character has already done the vow of sacred prostitution and reference piercings that the vow events describe being added. I'm also not particularly clear what, story-wise, the vow adds that the initiation rite didn't already cover; they both focus on how sex is a sacrament reserved to Catholics and I'm not entirely sure what members do between joining and swearing the vow.

 

The Vow of Sacred Prostitution opens up the Serve in the House of Mercy decision. Without it you never see the decision. Narratively you can just patch it in your mind to make it fit. I really don't want to redo the localization. LOL

I decided to fix the localization after all. I'm currently running a test to see if the Magdalene books will transfer to the heir upon abdication. If that is fixed then I'll upload a new version.

There are a lot of things in DWR that I don't like, such as the heroes and villains, fairy-tale characters, Harry Potter material, and other content that doesn't belong in the setting I'm building. Does DWR contain interesting ideas that can be used as inspiration? Sure. In fact, since you originally suggested it, I decided to make a fantasy submod with fantasy races. That doesn't mean I have any intention of importing everything DWR did into a setting where it doesn't fit.

 

I'm taking inspiration from a variety of mods, including DWR, LF, Christianity Mod, Tentacled Dreams, and others, but inspiration is very different from adopting somebody else's project as my foundation. Taking over DWR means taking over years of accumulated code debt, design decisions, dependencies, and content I would then have to remove or rewrite before I could build what I actually want. That's a very large undertaking just to end up giving people a continuation of DWR instead of Carnal Realms.

 

That's really the part of your suggestion I don't understand. I've been describing the setting I want to build, the religious changes, the society overhauls, the supernatural system, the fantasy material, and how the Order of the Sacred Magdalene fits into that larger world. Your response to all of that wasn't about those ideas or where they might go. It was essentially that I should continue somebody else's abandoned mod instead.

 

I'm not trying to make DWR 2.0. I'm trying to make Carnal Realms. If DWR has an idea or mechanic that fits, I can certainly use it for inspiration, and where code can legally and sensibly be reused I'll give the proper credit. But the setting and the core need to serve the project I'm actually creating rather than forcing that project to serve the structure of an older mod.

Fair Enough!

But, may I suggest Slavery (training etc.), Brothels, Chamber/Private Quarter visits and Tits and Cocks traits (I can contribute the Tit Trait Icons, if you like!).

Also some Sound Effects to give some life to the Mod (I can contribute those as well! )!

Finaly, I have noticed that you are using the small, vanilla images....

You could "borrow" DWR Narrative Image Interface, to use the 472x472  resolution images, OR simply make your own, maybe I could help you with that, if you like!

 

Thanks!

Thank you for the offers.

 

I can put slavery on the menu for a submod. Brothels are in the core. Chamber visits can be added to the core easily. 

I do have boobs and dicks in the core. I am having icons made. Hop over into the Carnal Realms thread to continue this please.

I'm using AI software to make the images. Grok and ChatGPT did a good job on the ones in the Order.

I'm close to releasing the first version of Carnal Realms. As such the Order of the Sacred Magdalene will be updated with the specific version that has CR as the dependency.

Are you sure you don't need the Realistic Style Trait Icons, I showed you, instead of the current "arcade-y" ones?

I could turn them into the Square shape, if you want..!

[SamIAmHam]

I'm sure bud and I appreciate you offering. I may just redo the vanilla icons to match the style I have. LOL

There is nothing stopping you from putting out a replacement for the icons to fit your style.

The Order of the Sacred Magdalene is now fully merged into Carnal Realms. There will be no further updates as a submod.
