I actually got it going in a way that I would call the "stupid method" I just disabled the mod on game creation, got in and saved, then re-enabled the mod. So far no issues.

This mod not compatible with Invictus now.
But if you remove
setup/main/00_defaults.txt
setup/characters/00_ROM.txt
from mod directory it should start working.

Well for reasons I am unable to figure out, this mod causes a lot of the map to be depopulated when used with invictus. Sad, because they seemed to work fine together before, but alas.

@{FIRM} Maximus Decimus Meridius It possible rearrange 'invictus mod' loaded after this. So setup file will be overwritten. More random families will be added via original game event after one month. But I never tried it.

@mish_archmage That’s unfortunate, I really enjoyed this mod along with Invictus especially playing as Rome.

@{FIRM} Maximus Decimus Meridius This mod not compatible for Invictus mod

@misha_archmage This mod no longer works with the new Invictus update, it removed some of the new additions on map in North Africa.

@Retarded on multiple levels Both mods compatible. I used ithis load order
Invictus Imperator
More Families

Yes thank you for understanding despite my lack of specification

@Retarded on multiple levels Did you mean 'Imperator: Invictus' mod? I will look how compatible with it mod.

Comp patch with invictus incoming?

@KingSav3ge Uploaded modified version of More Idea Slots. Hope it work now in 100% Gui Scaling.

I'm working now on More Idea mod so it should be work with 100% GUI scaling.

Ahh okay, I haven't touched my scaling since like 6 updates ago, and didn't even take GUI scaling into consideration until you mentioned it now, too used to screens being too long being a compatibility issue.

Keep it up! I find this mod especially needed as it lets us stop 2-3 families from having a considerable amount of power by the time you're a major power.

@KingSav3ge Yep, this is problem with GUI scaling, because I played most time 90% and lower. You can use 90% GUI scaling for temporary solution, before I repair it.

I appreciate your commend.

It is set to 100%

Also, I want to commend your community skills, very polite and responsive.

@KingSav3ge What interface GUI scaling you use?

I can confirm the "More Families" fix worked, but I still can't see my enact button.

Load order is:

Better U.I 2.0
More Idea Slots 2.0
More Families 2.0

I verified integrity, playing 1920x1080 res

Mod Updated for new patch. If you still have any problems. Please resubscribe, steam will delete previous mod versions and upload new one.

@KingSav3ge I repaired 'Enact button' yesterday. It should show now.

About More Families, it worked yesterday, because i tested it before upload. But today PDX released new patch, this patch change history file. I will update mod soon.

With 2.0 very few mods got updated, among the ones that did being this and your more idea slots ones and Better U.I.

More Idea Slots is somewhat compatible still but More Families has for some reason lost its compatibility completely, I don't know if this is intended incompatibility but thought I'd mention it as it was compatible pre-2.0 and More Ideas still is.

More Families gets locked up at "Generating World from histories", I hit 100% and it just sits there endlessly, trying to F4 causes a "Not responding" rather than closing.

More Idea Slots causes the screen to extend to a point where you can't enact decisions.

@slyvester8612 It make possible trigger next month PDX event which generates new family. If numbers of existed families lower than country allows. I tested it now.

if swicthed this mod off and put the even more families mod on do you think it might cause me problems?

okay, thanks

@slyvester8612 Event which generating new family, pulse one time per month. After obscurity one of Julii family, wait generation new family with another surname.
Or if i will have same problem. I will try hard variant - parsing whole savegame and change surnames manually. Backing up this save.

any tips on how to fix it?

@slyvester8612 I did not touch any events which generates new family. It looks like some problem in Paradox vanilla event , which not check existed family name in generation time. I played test game for Rome and game generate for me 7 different families. All they not lost their 'Grand family' status.

yea. for some reason one of the families comes up twice in the family list. julii and then julii again beneath it

@slyvester8612 They have enough prestige and jobs? Another mods don't rewrite defines.txt?

seventh family keeps falling in to obscurity , I have great power status

Oh wow. Oh man, Thank you. thank you so much. You just made my day, I am in your debt.

@Scutatus Ok i uploaded version with bigger numbers of families and Valerii major family in both mods.

Oh bless you. That was quick, I certainly was not expecting such an immediate response. Much appreciated Misha. :)

@Scutatus I could make version of mod with more major families. I will try today.

Nice mod Misha, very welcome, thank you.

I have a couple of questions if you don't mind:
Would it be possible to make a mod with even more Major Families?

Or/and, Could a mod be made to ensure the Roman family of Valeria are a starting major Family? (I have always played trying to get the Valeria into power and then striving to keep them there, but of course as things stand, that is now ridiculously difficult).

Any assistance or input would be greatly appreciated.

@kent0012jp I appreciate it.

Thanks!!
