Description
My Personal, Compatible, Updated and Very Good™ modlist
Based on Community Mods for Historicity. Join the Discord![discord.com]
I also recommend joining the CK3 Mod Co-op[discord.gg] if you are interested in modding.

Last updated 15/Aug/2023 for version 1.9.2.1

Important Details
  • Anytime a mod updates: unsubscribe, wait until the uninstallation is complete, then resubscribe! (the steam workshop is bad at updating mods)

  • If you open the game settings menu without a mod that enables a specific game rule, they get removed from your presets.txt file. To deal with this I make a copy of presets.txt for each playset I use to paste back into Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\player\game_rules whenever starting the game with a different set of mods.

Download the .json file here[drive.google.com]
or add each mod manually
