Can you still use ideology styles while deactivating it?

Really not a fan of it, especially after running into some issues last time. But I would still love using the styles.

Disabling Ideology enables you to select building styles at your leisure. Don't know about equipment styles.

There's a "vanilla" premade ideology option you can pick that doesn't really change the game much, you can select that then pick the style you want.

Most of the "annoyances" of the ideology system are optional and can be disabled individually if you go in and adjust things. The minimum "requirements" to an ideology is just an altar in a floored room, a leader and a moral guide, and those roles can have their clothing requirements removed. Everything else about ideologies is optional, conversion, rituals, precepts that cause negative thoughts or change gameplay, required buildings, you don't have to interact with any of that if you don't want to. It's a system that is as light as you want to be and does only what you want it to if you are willing to spend a few minutes adjusting it to your preferences.

You still have to deal with others ideology. Especially with mods it can have some extremly annoying moments

You can make the other ideologies just as passive. Every faction's ideology can be edited, at game start or with dev mode later. You can make it so there is nothing to "deal with." And you can save and load presets so you don't have to do it constantly every game.

Yeah turns out you just have to click on it and change the furniture. Pretty handy. Just wish it would save it for future objects
