So when I check my weight I am given the weight level correctly, but the following description is always of the skinny level. has anyone else had this issue? originally I thought this may have been because I’m not exactly using a legitimate copy of ck2, but the same issue happens on the free game on steam.
My offer from awhile back still stands. I am more than willing to write some flavor texts to fill in the large number of placeholders… if this mod isn’t dead.

CK2 mods are all just fully visible and editable. If we have the original developer’s permission, a fork of the mod can be made to continue it on our own accord. There might also be the chance they are actually working on it in their spare time.

yeah if anyone wants to pick it up for themselves they are welcome to do so. Right now I’m not really working on the mod myself

Hi @failmuseum! I’ve been adding to your Fatocracy mod for the past six months on and off, and it’d be great if I could have your permission to re-release it on these forums.
Here’s the list of additions in my custom version:
- 95% of the missing localization has been added.
- A Court Feedee minor title, that becomes an option if you have a fetish trait or are of the correct religion. TLDR, give this title to a female courtier and they gain weight rapidly.
- New religions for vanilla: an Islamic version of Decadentism and a Pagan version called Adephagianism. Both have the same functions as the base mod religions
- A CK2 Elder Kings II version (religion is a new Sanguine cult).
- A version for CK2 AGOT (religion is an offshoot of the Weeping Goddess of Lys).

Interesting.
Personally, I DON’T like new religion stuff unless it meshes with the rest of the game, so hopefully not everything added is gated behind that. That said, I have felt the urge to revisit ck2 a few times and you are doing something I wish had happened back in the day (please bring this passion to ck3 lol).
I actually made some tiny attempts to manipulate some things that failmuseum didn’t touch. In 2018, apparently. It fits directly into these mods but was hacky since I am nowhere near a competent coder. You shouldn’t use them as is, but these events in particular had a LOT of promise.
My long-term hope was to have this expanded in terms of ‘fat dynasty’ or ‘decadent dynasty’ content; having feeder characters push dynasty members to fatten up, or the opposite - being teased and ridiculed for being too big.

That’s fair: I’ve added it to allow for some more interesting starts using Fatocracy. If the religion is limited to Christian heresies, you’ll have a far harder time roleplaying as Muslim or Pagan characters. The other new features are not locked behind religions.
What you were working on sounds great! What exactly was buggy about your events? If it’s just a little rough, with your permission/credits, I’d be happy to add it into ‘Fatocracy +’.
It would be amazing to see this revisited, I bothered @failmuseum so much when this was out and I was playing it haha
oh, by all means release it

I’m trying to remember everything it did, but it didn’t ‘add’ much of anything. It actually just adjusted an existing event chain, which you can probably figure out from looking at the files inside and comparing to the base game.
Everything under HF.24152 is already part of Holy Fury. What I changed, or at least tried to change, was which characters could fire the events, along with adjustments so the player could trigger the event more often (see; timers). I think the other event mod was a patch over another person’s mod.
My suggestion if you’re interested is to simply approach those event from scratch and come up with a more elegant solution. You can do whatever you like with the mod files but I would recommend not using them as is given the caveats I’ve mentioned.

No worries! Thanks for being honest about it; I’m pretty much all CK2’d out atm, so will re-release Fatocracy with my updates.
So: here is the link to ‘Fatocracy +’. The install method is the same as the original/most CK2 mods. Extract the 3 zip files and 3 .mod files into your custom mod folder at ‘Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II’.

Does the AGOT version just work with the base mod or would it also potentially work with the various submods for AGOT?
Hi! Thank you so much for updating this mod! Question, when I start up the game nothing happens. Like, its a completely normal (albeit modded Elder Kings) game, but with no hint of fatocracy being there at all. Which is strange because fatocracy before used to just be there when you started a game, regardless of addon mod. Is there something I need to do in game to activate it or turn it on? Or am I just doing something wrong with the install? I’d try and test it a bit more but I have to leave for work, although I will be on later to try and get it running, but if you could help in the meantime I would really appreciate it!
I too, am having issues getting fatocracy for Elder Kings to work.
UPDATE:
I’m onto something. The requirements specified has to be the exact NAME of the mod rather than the name of the files. That is, if you’re using a non-steam version of Elder Kings (Like me) you’ll need to change the requirement to Elder Kings 26-09-2020 - or something to that effect. All in quotations.
Also also, the game crashes when opening the religion tab.
I’m unsure about AGOT compatability: I know it works with a few submods e.g. Sketchy’s cheats, BLG but can’t tell you what mods it won’t like
No worries, thanks for the feedback! That’s odd: I think Gary below has the solution. For the mod to work, it needs the EK file to be exactly the same name as the Steam version of the mod.
Open up your Fatocracy_EK .mod file. You will see the dependency listed as "name=“Elder Kings”.
Open up your EK .mod file. Copy and paste it’s “name=x” to overwrite the once in F_EK. Let me know if that works!
Sorry! Thanks Gary, I didn’t think about the compatibility with non-Steam editions.
Also: there’s a slight bugfix for the base game Adephagian pagan religion. TLDR, I can’t get the Holy War CB to appear, so have created a custom one. Just download the mod again for the Adephagian_CBs text file.
