Okay. I just remember in CK2, certain popular mods by convention would all agree to set up their files to have the same interaction category setup - each mod would put doctor 8, pika 9, glorious 10, etc. Of course, by the time that happened there was a lot of deep community corroboration between modders, which is always nice but should never be expected. I mostly remember it happening around the AGOT and Elder Kings mod releases.

That still works to help with compatibility, but the main problem is character_interaction_categories which contains a file that defines each category in the interaction menu. Each category has a number defining how high or low on the menu it is in comparison to other categories. There cannot be any gaps in the list (cant list 7 items then list an 8th with number 9) so both Pika and myself added our cheats as the 8th item, causing a conflict and a crash.
The only way around this is to simply uncategorize your cheats (not great) or to create compatibility patches for everything else that uses the interaction menu.

I do use sol_ before everything's name for the same reason. Did they both not do this for a few, or are there a few files that if used must be overwritten?

I am asking because I am making my own cheat mod series, taking it slow and not trying to rush. I want my cheat mod to be conscious of the others so that it works with them. What can I do myself to maximize the odds of this? I enjoyed Pika's, Glorified's, and yours. I want to ensure mine is compatible with all 3, and hopefully others that will also come out later by others.

Both my mod and Pika's use a system in CK3 to categorize our cheats. However, due to the way the system is set up in the game, we have to use files that would break either mod if not used with the other. Thus, for those who use only one cheat menu, this is a separate mod.

How did you make them compatible? I know there are various methods to combine mods, and to change one mod's parameters to avoid conflict with the other.

Just uploaded a fix for this.

It was working for me yesterday. Both mods have been updated today, so, let's just wait for an update on this one I guess.

You are right, it also makes my game crash. maybe pika and doctro have updated their mods and are no longer compatible with this patch. It worked yesterday.

I tried all possible combinations of loading order and it keeps crashing. I have a few other mods but when I check the logs it is related to Pika's. I guess I'll try disabling Pika's.

This one should be placed after the doctor's and Pika's cheat mods.

What's the correct load order?

Did you put it in the correct mod load order?

Currently causing the game to crash alongside Doctor's mod.

Nice, thanks!
