Crusader Kings 2 - 3.0's weight gain

Modifiers are not placed in localisations. Those just specify what text is shown during events and the like, though it can reference terms defined elsewhere.

There’s a fair amount you can learn about modding via the wiki and elsewhere: Modding - Crusader Kings II Wiki

The reason I am using the vague weight level variable is because it’s much easier to work with, and because traits like dwarf, giant, strong, brawny, and stout exist. So, if I used lbs or kilos, it would be very different based on the traits, ethnicity and sex of the character. I don’t mean to sound lazy, but it would ba massive undertaking with little payoff (at least from a mechanical perspective). Thanks for the suggestion though :slight_smile:.

Yeah, to define weight you’d also need to define things like height, musculature etc… that influence real-world weight - and bolt all of that on top of the ingame variable that defines weight in order to make it seem sensible.

I think that a more interesting way to alter the current system without adding as much bloat would be to convert some of the weight stages and attribute sizes into traits rather than modifiers so that they’re more obvious to a casual player. However, that itself would mean looking through the code for all references to the ‘fat’ trait and ‘obese’ modifier.

There are some other benefits; traits are easily made exclusive in a way that probably causes less code bloat. IMO that makes more sense for body part descriptions than the current implementation of feeder-feedee traits, which at present prohibits simulating a mutual gainer relationship (you can’t have a feeder and a feedee trait at the same time).

To give an update, I’ve localized a few more events, the feedee interactions menu event, and the feedee stuffing type selection event. Yesterday and today though, I’ve been working on my art. I will set aside some time soon to write a bunch of the events at once. Sorry for the slower progress on these, I usually need to space myself out when writing these.

I’ve been working on my art quite a bit lately, especially yesterday and today. Since I don’t have access to a PC, I have been using paper to practice (I made sure to also draw those thin people I’ve heard about for plausible deniability if my drawings are found). I have made some significant improvements since I started up again. I really need a tablet with a screen, the difference between my pencil art and current digital is night and day. I’ll see if I can upload a photo or two of the better ones I made in a bit.

Here is what is probably my best recent drawing. It’s just a simple figure drawing, but I think it turned out nicely.

Out of curiosity, do you have plans for other titles in the future, like royal feeder? I’m kinda of curious on that.

Having put the mod through the Audax Validator (you can find it here if you’re interested in taking a look The Validator - Find errors quickly and with minimal pain! | Paradox Interactive Forums ) I’m starting to see why I’ve noticed an increasing number of CTD with the latest update.

Some of the problems it flags are inevitable in this stage of development (eg; missing localisations), but there are some things it catches that are noticeable.

There’s a fairly high number of parse failures and the like; most errors identified in the Validator have options for fixing them within the program but be prepared for trawling through a very long list, lol.

Yeah, I was wondering why I was having more crashes before the PC broke, I figured it was just some bad luck on my end since it wasn’t happening that often.

I can’t really do much about the issue at present though, thanks to my computer dying on me. It’s being looked at now, so hopefully it’s back in my hands, working, in a couple weeks. Sorry about the issues, I wish I could fix them right now. These issues always make me feel like I have no idea what I’m doing.

Most likely, but they will probably be for the more specialized religions, governments, traits, and maybe cultures. So in other words, your average Catholic, Vanilla European cultured character will only have the court cook minor title from my mod available to them.

Looks like I’ll be getting the computer back on Monday, so work should be able to resume as normal very soon.

I had a couple ideas to improve the weighing self decision.

The first one I thought of is a system where characters with certain traits will need to occasionally check their weight or risk getting stressed. Traits like paranoid, temperate, zealous (for the normal religions), kitsune, proud, envious, lustful (not wanting fat), etc will need to check every once in a while.

Second, after weighing yourself, if the character has either a positive or negative reaction to their weight, they could have the ability to discuss it with a romantic partner afterwards. This will have a range of effects, from curing/causing depression, stressed, getting a fetish, potentially revealing a fetish, triggering reckless eating etc.

Third would be to give the AI the ability to weigh themselves too. This would practically be necessary for the other improvements.

Fourth, it could be used to give or remove piety for my heresies, depending on the score given.

EDIT: I’m back on the PC, time to get back to work. Thank you so much @Allom and @seigneurseiglenoir for helping with the localizations. I also didn’t lose anything at all, so the small improvements I made to temporary obesity are still present. Apologies to the potential poor geek squad employee that saw my files.

Hey, now that I got a look at your localizations and some of the changes you made, would you mind if incorporated it into the mod officially? I would need your permission to change or remove things at my discretion, is that acceptable? I will try not to change too much. Good work on them :slightly_smiling_face:.

You are welcome to do so, not a problem at all!

I got the the clothing overhaul started now, the tailor shop is nearly finished. It’s pretty simple, it’s almost identical to how the potion shop works. I also added another option, you can get an outfit custom made for your current size. Functionally, it adds 1 clothing of your current size and a modifier that lasts a year that gives a decent monthly prestige bonus for a higher cost.

Another thing I want to add, and I’ve how worked out how to make it already, is an option if you are out to wear clothing of 1 size above, or 1 size below if you don’t have anything that fits. Doing this will give a negative monthly prestige bonus for a tight fit, or a loose fit respectively. Feedees, Nekos, and other characters aroused by/respects fat will have a decision to wear tight clothing even if they still have better fitting clothing. I think I figured out a fairly elegant way to get around writing out the whole code every time clothing is lost from events, I’m going to either make a new scripted effect or an event that I use to handle the loss.

I also finally made the pot belly and pudgy belly weight tiers not stupid anymore. To be more specific, I made it so that weight tiers are all multiples of ten. So it works like this now: Pot belly = 20 weight level, and Pudgy Belly = 30. It used to be Pot = 25 and Pudgy = 35 (which was an issue since Chubby = 40, which means pudgy only lasted in the range of 35-40). This will likely cause some bugs, but man it was bothering me that one of the weight tiers was basically non existent.

EDIT: I also most likely be ordering a new drawing tablet tomorrow as well (probably).

EDIT 2: I also had an idea to give characters a choice when they run out of clothes they can wear entirely. When you are out of your weight tier (as well as both the above tier and below tier), you will be given an option to choose between going nude or wearing crude sack clothing. Nudity will give a debilitating monthly piety debuff (-5) but a +10 to lustful character’s opinion. You will also be prone to getting future events while not wearing anything, these will be a mix of both good and bad (good for some social events, bad for religious or health themed events, namely winter in the northern parts of the map). There are also some other modifiers for nudity that give a prestige bonus instead of a piety debuff, these are reserved for the religions, cultures, and possibly LF races that won’t take issue with nudity.

The Sack clothing keeps you warm enough and protects your modesty, but this comes at a -1 prestige per month. There might be a few negative events for the social consequences for wearing this. No need to purchase or maintain sack clothing.

Maybe have it as an option for feedee characters to buy clothing one size larger than currently needed to ‘grow into’ so to speak?

And for normal characters to buy one size smaller as a goal for weight loss as well?

1 Like

Yep, you can buy any size clothing you want at the tailor, at any size. So, your emaciated character will have the option to buy the largest clothing available if they so choose to.

Will there be a way to give a partner Temporary Obesity via potion? also what sort of interactions will be available if someone who is close to you IE a relative, child or spouse gains it?

1 Like

There will be ways to get a temporary obesity potion to a spouse/lover/concubine. Either spiking their meal at feast (the easier option) or giving it to them (harder to get them to accept unless they are a Neko, hedonist, or feedee).

I haven’t quite worked out what interactions I want them to have, definitely fondling and feeding. Likely nothing for if a relative or an adult child of your character gets it other than maybe an embarrassed/sympathetic event unless the character is Zoroastrian or has the divine marriage religion feature. If either is the case, they’ll be subject to the same events that if it happens to a courtier.

Also out of curiosity (and I forgot if I asked or not or if it was answered) will there be anything for cannibalism I had the event to become one pop on my evilest dynasty and was wondering if their will be anything for that.

I probably won’t be adding any cannibalism content in my mod. However, anyone is free to make an addon for cannibalism/vore if they want to, I’ll even help they have any questions. I’m just not really into that aspect of the fetish, sorry.
