Crusader Kings 3: Weight Gain and Consequences

Load order for basic WGaC use:

There are of course a bunch of optional mods you can add to this like CFP and EPE if you use the correct compatches, but this is the most basic load order you’ll need.

As a general rule, any mod that adds new clothing items and/or messes with the character model in some way needs to be above Carnalitas, then their respective compatches, then the load order shown above. Then in between CBO and WGaC you put the other compatches.

So, for example, if you were to play with Community Flavour Pack and Ethnicities & Portraits Expanded, the load order would be as follows:

  • CFP (Steam)
  • EPE (Steam)
  • CFP-EPE Patch (Steam)
  • Carnalitas
  • CBO Unofficial
  • CFP+EPE CBO Patch (Mega folder, sort by date added for the most recent version)
  • WGaC

If you want to use RUI (Steam mod) with WGaC, place that below everything listed here, then place my compatch below that.

As for adding non-Steam mods to CK3, the default location to place them is C:/[Username]/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/mod. Make sure both the mod folder and descriptor file (the .mod one) are in this location, and that OneDrive isn’t messing with your Documents folder because CK3 can’t load mods from there.

If your computer username contains any characters that aren’t A-Z 0-9 (meaning no other alphabet or áccéntéd characters allowed) then these mods won’t load either. Instead make a folder elsewhere like C:/CK3 Mods to place the mod folders, then keep the descriptor files in the previous location and edit them (you can use notepad) to change the path to the new location. In this example the path line would read path="C:/CK3 Mods/CBO Unofficial.


If anything changes in future I’ll just edit this post and link to it, sending the same links over and over again is getting tiresome.
