@Ozare As Tilarium mentioned that was a common vanilla bug, that affected a lot of mods, especially but not exclusively large mods. The devs said it should be fixed with the latest 1.18.2 patch, but maybe if you're not playing an earlier version it's remaining or your game didn't update to 1.18.2 yet? Alternatively, also make sure your graphics settings are good for your rig, sometimes lowering graphics settings or switching from Vulkan to DX11 or vice versa can help with graphical weirdness like that.

It's a vanilla issue, nothing to do with this mod or any other mod.

Does anyone else get the bug where the artifact becomes invisible and so does it portrait? This the only mod that I have on rn

The VIET/RICE 2025 survey and RICE Asian Flavor Pack Polls are now out, if you want to give some feedback! Links here:

@ouo Right now there's not really any good way to tell other than if you see the event use one of VIET's new event backgrounds which look different from vanilla's, and/or are used to my writing style lol (VIET events tend to be a little longer/descriptive)

Sorry for a dumb question, how do I know if an event is from VIET?

@Mr. Moogle: Go to the GitHub link at the top of the description, for the manual install versions of the mod. It has every previously released version of VIET. Just manually install the version you want, and remember to unsubscribe from the Steam version of VIET too, so the game doesn't get confused between the two versions.

Oh yeah. My apologies.

where can I get an older version for a playlist?

Perhaps surprisingly, Cites, that wasn't aimed at you. It was aimed at the painfully-obvious ♥♥♥♥-stirring attempt immediately before it.

Does your definition of a troll genuinely enjoy the authors work? I certainly do! Way better than paradox.

Go be terminally online somewhere else...

…Obvious troll is obvious.

@CitiesSkyliner Your going to take that disrespect from those commenters? Personally i wouldn`t let that slide and stand up for myself instead. But hey! that`s just me, you do you buddy :D:lunar2020ratinablanket:

What? Pretty nice to have compatibility with EK2.

Thanks for the Mod, the events are often lovely and well written.

Especially the Elder Scrolls Oblivion one with the Artifact love it :)

cry about it.

I might.............and did you forget not to curse?

@CitesSkyliner Bro... you really need to see a therapist. This is not healthy human behavior, your acting like a 12 who runs his mouth and wonders why people are picking on him. If the whole world is against you, its probably bc your being an ass

If you were placed in similar circumstances and someone insulted you and told YOU stopped commenting, would you? Emily I do not want a hypocrite telling me to stop commenting.

@CitesSkyliner wtf is wrong with you, stop commenting

Shalom Shalom.

Completely sorry to everyone that had to deal with that. My fingers went faster then my mind. I really should have seen how Ghost Fox reacted to what I said and realized they were NOT who I thought they were. I believe that everyone is NOT a flat piece of cardboard and a fully unique human being. I have severely stereotyped Ghost Fox. Let me explain my thought process (Not saying that it was right.) Firstly I noticed that they completely misunderstood AI and I held my ground. Next I realized they were a member of the furry fandom and I jumped to conclusions that were unfounded. Furthermore (ΘΔ) those strange symbols led me to distrust them ever more! I do completely hate the furry fandom but, I also hate the anti-furries for being insane radicals.

@Ghost Fox (ΘΔ): My sincere apologies. I have massively confused more radical members of your community with you.

Nothing better than a great mod with a cringefest of a comment section. HELL YA!

…Well. That was an unexpected blowup. I've taken the liberty of reporting it, since it goes beyond the usual ad hominem to an entirely unfounded accusation.

And before you or whatever wants to try to correct me if they will want to talk to me says: "But a animals does consent to another animal". I am referring to.......It is so disgusting!: B-E-A-S-T-I-A-L-I-T-Y

Ghost Fox (ΘΔ): Well, some people on the internet typing on the internet on a specific way that they want to and could be lying to me! And besides it is obvious that you have a very simplistic understanding of modern Large Language Models. Furthermore, this person is a member of a community that has some radical members that say that a animal can consent to sex thus, making it very easy to dismiss your argument. Sorry to everyone else for such a bloated comment section.

@John Sangrós Just did a rough count, and looks like ~40 events are disabled with the serious events game rule, and about ~10 are disabled with both serious or default game rule, so with the serious game rule you'll not have about roughly 50 events.

@CitesSkyliner: Well, some humans certainly don't seem to understand what venues aren't appropriate for trying to defend the use of hallucination engines. Good day.

@John Sangrós: That would be nice to know. @Ghost Fox: Before you start saying that you should know that all modern Large Language Models use a system of artificial neurons that imitate how the human brain functions. So......is your argument that humans know nothing?

How many of the 1227 events are considered serious events? Thanks for this great mod!

@CitesSkyliner: Or cybrxkhan could not feed the hallucination engine, and instead quite properly refuse to acknowledge its output as relevant. It knows nothing and understands even less.

@Ghost Fox (ΘΔ): Ask that to your employer who sees the benefits and replaces you with a far cheaper Large Language Model! And @cybrxkhan: Any Large Language Model is a incredibly advanced pattern predictor. The more documented something is the easier it is for a Large Language Model to predict. The CK3 script is far less documented then say the Bible. If you have problems with it you could stop or try to give it more information about the CK3 script by directly dumping it in with a prompt.

Remember, ChatGPT is nothing but a hallucination engine. It knows nothing and understands even less.

@Jabrolsky ChatGPT doesn't understand anything about CK3 script, it is notoriously clueless about these things. What it says below is pretty much gibberish from a modding standpoint which is very common when asking ChatGPT about PI modding, so I'd avoid it at all costs. There is a jester_stress_relief_events.txt but it is a vanilla file which VIET does not touch at all; as another example, "save_event_target_as" doesn't mean anything in CK3 code. As mentioned, it is likely this is caused by a vanilla bug, it apparently has gotten worse with AUH as AUH introduced a lot of new art, which is how it might be affecting mods that were previously fine. See this Reddit thread for instance for a similar discussion of the issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/CK3AGOT/comments/1oyatpg/broken_icons/

Exact Match: events/jester_stress_relief_events.txt line: 510 (jester.500:immediate) + jester.500:option = Custom jester stress relief event chain (Royal Court DLC position). Event tries to save_event_target_as = jester but jester character is null (no court jester assigned) → Cascades to progress_towards_rival_effect, set_relation_potential_rival, add_opinion failures (09:44:52 spam). This causes runtime CTDs/softlocks during court activities.

Mod Confirmed: VIET Events (your list: enabled)

Hey, I asked chat gpt to identify my crashing issue, I have no idea what the above means:P

If it helps. im playing as an adventuere, so maybe its a stooge ineraction:/ idk

@cybrxkhan Ah I see, understood. It makes sense because it is a 90 mod list and I've never had problems with VIET in the past.

@Jabrolsky If I'm understanding you correctly, this might actually be a vanilla bug that affects mods, particularly large mods or mod lists. I'm not too privvy on the details but based on what I've heard from some TC modders, who've tested extensively, it is possible for the game to start behaving in various funny ways, including disappearing artifact icons, especially if you have large mods or a lot of mods running, at some point in a save.

I believe I've also seen similar bug reports for vanilla about disappearing court artifacts with AUH or with earlier builds of the game, especially if you're running a large mod list, but it appears to have happened in modless vanilla too from what I've heard.

Anyone else experiencing artefact icons going invisible with VIET in 50 year + runs. it's fine at the start but eventually the artefact icons become invisible, this makes court display invisible too. I moved VIET to the top and bottom of my load order but only disabling it brought my artefacts back, anyone else?

@cassius: It is obvious that you are referring to me. I like this mod greatly! Unless cybrxkhan completely ruins this mod I will still use it and enjoy it.

anytime i see insane people on steam crash out at people who make unfathomable amounts of free content i feel the need to stop by and say thank u for all u do <3

thanks magical mod creator person love u xoxo

There is a alternative option of course: wasting your time insulting avatars.

@Poison Junkie: That is also an option too, for sure lol 😂

Since there is no option to disable those events... there is an alternative option called unsubscribe. If you don't like it, don't use it.

@CitesSkyliner There are 1000+ events in VIET, I don't have time to sort through every single one of them and decide and modify their code based on whether they fit a game rule based on one person's interpretation of what would be historically plausible. I'm really sorry, but this seems like something that would work better as a sub-mod.

Bros crashing out about a literal joke lmao

Then, like Cybrxkhan said, make your own sub-mod for this to remove the things you don't want to see.
