Crusader Kings 2 - 3.0's weight gain

How did you get it to work?

I had to download another mod first, then the folder appeared.

Honestly looked up a youtube video on installing mods. It used moddb as its base, but I followed the instructions and got it to work.

Basically, if I recall correctly, you have to open the thing in winrar, then extract to the ck2 mod folder.

Just started working on fleshing out the narrative events for weight gain. I’m primarily working on giving many more options for these events. The options will be based on your character’s traits, modifiers, character focus, stats etc. An example would be my first event where the character get the “soft body” modifier the first time. There are currently four (one of these has two variants) options for this event as opposed to my original one. There is an option that requires having one of the “gluttonous” traits (gluttonous trait, hedonist trait, carousing focus), an option that requires lustful traits (lustful trait, master seducer/seductress trait, seduction focus, feedee trait, is a Neko character), a religious option that requires traits (zealous trait, theologian trait, NOT having the cynical trait, or having a piety of 2000 when the event fires) and finally a neutral option if none of the others are applicable. The religious one has two versions depending on whether or not you have the gluttonous trait. Here is a very simple layout of what each option does:

neutral - nothing
glutton - adds 1 to the weight level
lusty - 10% chance to lose the stressed trait
religious a) - one of these: 10% to pick up the glutton trait, 10% of picking up temperate, 80% nothing
religious b) - one of these: 10% to gain 3 weight level, 10% of picking up temperate, 80% nothing

-some of these are mutually exclusive, the lusty and glutton options won’t show up if you qualify for the religious options for example.

I made these pretty quickly, so I’ll likely add at least one or two other options to this event but I haven’t posted for a few days and wanted to let everyone know what I’m going to be working on now and what it looks like. I’ve also figured out how to force a specific vanilla “growing fat” event to trigger as well as how to add new ones later.

I’ve got the fetish traits in the game now, they are no longer modifiers. I’m having a bit of an issue though, the gluttonous trait. The gluttonous trait lowers the sex appeal opinion of anyone that would normally find the character with the trait attractive. Obviously it makes no sense for someone with a fat fetish to find gluttony unattractive (and likely not a feedee either). I could just make fat fetishists have an opinion boost with people with the trait, but then that creates another problem where the character will have a higher opinion of a gluttonous character that they are not attracted to vs a gluttonous character that would be attracted to. So a straight male character’s relationship buffs would look like this:

female glutton -15 (attraction opinion penalty) + 15 (glutton opinion offset) = +0 opinion total
male glutton -0 (attraction opinion penalty) + 15 (glutton opinion offset) = +15 opinion total

I’m looking for advice on how to correct this without editing the file where the original glutton trait is located if I can help it. I’m a bit stumped. I might have to rewrite how the of the opinion modifiers works.

Ohhh wait ignore me I see what the issue is. Yeah that’s a tricky one…

Is it possible to add an if statement to the trait itself, like you would with the event code?

I could try that, but I’m not sure if I an add an if statement to perks. I’ve been looking through the wiki to see if I can, but I’m not seeing any examples. I’ll try looking through the vanilla traits again as well as through a few mod’s traits to see if I can find an example.

Dark world fantasy is available to the public on loverslab again. It has, however, undergone a name change to “Luxuria Fantasia” after it split off from Dark world reborn. My mod will continue to work with Luxuria Fantasia and not Dark world reborn in regards to adding some additional content. However, I don’t believe my mod would conflict with Dark World Reborn so the two mods should be able to work together. This also means anyone wanting to make content specific to Dark World Reborn shouldn’t have many issues.

Side note on that: in case you’re unaware, the prefix has changed from “dwf” to “lf”. Fortunately, that’s a very quick find and replace fix.

I think I’ve figured out how to fix the problem with the fat fetish trait, albeit in an extremely round-a-bout kind of way. I’ve started a thread on loverslab looking for a more elegant solution if there is one. The solution is to make two versions of the trait, one attracted to males and another attracted to females. Characters with the glutton trait would all get a modifier that gives an opinion buff corresponding to the fat fetish trait. I’d also have events that play cleanup in the background if I ever make it possible to lose the traits, if the original character loses the glutton trait, or if the fetishist somehow switches sexual orientation.

Just a heads-up: Dark World Tentacles has changed its name now too, to Tentacled Dreams.

Though, if I interpret them correctly, the author mentions that the old dw_tentacles related variables should still be functional and mirrored to the new ones.

Is there a link to the most recent version of the mod?

Not exactly, the mod isn’t really out yet. If you scroll up a few posts you’ll find a demo put out a couple weeks ago or so. It’s pretty outdated compared to what I have now, but that is the only download I’ve provided so far. The mod won’t be “officially” out for a while though, but come back in a few days I’ve got a small surprise planned :slightly_smiling_face:

Can’t wait!

As an aside, I’m messing around with the code a bit and I’m writing a couple events that tie into being fat and gaining weight, when I get a few done I’ll share them here for you and others to use.
