Preventing Muslim Veil of Empire Wives

[RedeemerAZ]

Anyone know how to stop the generic veil from appearing on muslim women married to Emperors? It really is annoying to me:

The standard clothing looks much better, but no clue how to make them reappear :-(

No way to prevent it. Unless you change religion.

Actually, the former is the "standard" clothing for Emperor tier women of arabic (including berber, levantine, egyptian, etc) cultures. The latter is the "early" clothing used before 950.

It's not too difficult to mod clothing, and since it only changes the interface folder I believe it should be ironman compatible. Here's a basic walkthrough.

1) Make a mod folder (check the CK2 wiki if you don't know how to do this) and .mod file. Your mod should have an "interface" folder in it.
2) Go to CK2/interface/portraits.gfx and make a copy of the file in the [yourmod'sname]/interface folder.
3) Open it in a text editor, and find the "# Muslim female" headings (there should be 3, one for each age bracket).
4) Each line underneath is a layer which is used to construct the finished portrait from sets of assets. Some refer to clothing, some refer to facial features.. it's pretty obvious which is which. For each clothing layer, simply add "_early" to the end.

i.e.

"GFX_muslim_female_clothes_behind:p3:c0"

becomes

"GFX_muslim_female_clothes_behind_early:p3:c0"

Save the file and load the game with your mod, and Arab women should continue to use early clothing all the way through the game.

Alternately, just marry women of different graphical cultures.

great using this, Im eastern orthodox byzantine (as is the entire map), however due to eu4 mechanics i changed culture to egyptian and got a veil on my Empress (who im playing as, im orthodox not muslim) Its apparently not religion based but actually culture based kek.
