Similar mod is "deadly ck3"

nope, I am sorry I wont update it... as far as i know vanilla CK already got deadlier and this work does not work properly anymore with the newest version... if someone wants to have a look into the files he can download it or just play with an old CK3-version. :)

does this mod still work fine?

Please update :)

Now dragons will automatically disengage from support mode during military combat, which means dragons cannot play any role in combat. What's going on

GOOD

I made my own mod, inspired by yours, but meaner. Hope you don't mind :o

Does this still work on the current version?

@gentleman: nope, its not. :-/

is this mod not compatible for Dark Ages?

@ENFP: Thank you very very much! I cant say when I will do the patch work, (i guess in 7 or 21 days but wont promise anything) but I am very glad you already did the work yourself and are so bountiful to share it! Much respect!

Hi guys, I created an update for this mod here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3178096410

If Fletz comes back to fix it I will take it down, but I decided to help out because I already tweak this mod a lot!

I would assume there would be some re-balancing since the DLC and vanilla added the Plague stuff.

if it's okay I'll take a look and see if I can get the basic part working? since it's a really handy mod

I stopped playing CK3 a long time ago and have been making updates the last few times just for you guys. I'm afraid it will take a while before I find the time to do this work again. :-/

@Electric Face There are enough changes to the event files and defines and such that I would think it's likely that it would cause a crash. However, once Fletz gets to it, it should be easy to update.

hey thank you so much for this awesome mod! I just wanted to let you know that I have encountered crashing while using this mod with the new update (I did some testing an determined that this mod was causing the crashes).

Could you please update the mod to the new patch, 1.12.1? Many thanks in advance!

@fletz Will you be updating this for the upcoming DLC? I still think this mod will be crucial overall for a full immersive medieval experience.

@cuomo860, thanks you for such an accurate and explainable response

and its much more worthy to have a competent court physician i think :)

@DitzyFish...not exactly right. There are different types of sick in the game. There is overall health, sickly and illnesses. Overall health means that children have an overall lower health as they are young, sickly is a trait (by default for children under ~3) that overall decreases their health further, and illnesses are temporary event conditions...these are what the physician is called for. They do nothing for overall health and the sickly trait. This mod affects the first two which can make the illnesses for dangerous.

*In my tweaks for this mod, sickly is removed from ~3-6.

So in short, no you wont be spamming the physician.

So according to the description of this mod children will often be sick so you have to try to cure them by calling the court physician right? Isn't it boring that with high mortality you constantly need to push "call for a physician" and wait until they cure or with unlucky situation they don't?

@DT, You have a point, I'll give it a try.

@ferox I never modded CK3 but i modder another paradox game, sometimes putting to high value enable the game to take the base game value. Did you tried to modify the previous value with lower limit (like 40 instead of 999). Anyway if it doesn't work it's more realistic if it stops after 17 child's ^^

@Fletz, Yeah, I'm not sure either... This works without the mod tho, I tested that separately, so its puzzling. I however have noticed that the birth rates are VERY fast with the mod and the file changes. But as soon as I get 15 children it just stops immediately. I sometimes hit 17-18 kids but only if a child dies or multiple pregnancies happen before the 15 child cap. Unless someone with more coding knowledge knows a work around, I'm dont know how to fix this. Oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️

@ferox: mhm... thats actually what I would have done... sorry I cant say why it is not working. :(

@Fletz, I unsubbed from the "Remove Child Cap" mod, then I manually adjusted the fields that the mod changed with 00_define.txt:

BASE_NR_OF_CHILDREN_PER_COUPLE = { 999 999 999 999 999 999 } # Based on tier of character or parents; whichever is higher Unlanded, Baron, Count, ..., Emperor

MOTHER_FERTILITY_REDUCTION_PER_PREVIOUS_CHILD = 0

EXTRA_CHILDREN_FOR_PLAYERS = 999 # Num of extra children players can have before reaching living child limit

Still does not seems to work, Unless I am missing an option or setting? I also set 00_define to read only but it still does not work. Hmm... I have tested this before without HMM and it works fine... So yeah, kinda stumped 😑

@ferox: but you can easily do it yourself... just open the defines.txt and change the cap there yourself and so you wont need the "remove child cap" i guess.

@M: thx for the info. this explains it :D
@rorywory: yes it is
@ferox: cant tell ad-hoc. :/

Does anyone know if theirs a compatibility patch for this mod and the "Remove Child Cap" mod? Individually both work, but together they do not, regardless of load order.

is this compatible with existing save file?

OPB did a video and his playlist has your mod on it! ^^

Over 500 new subscriptions of this mod on my birthday!? thats an all-time record! what the heck happened!? :D

@peequi: You may only try the mods which actual modify the most important file regarding mortality: defines.txt

i guess if there is a mod, which causes problems and "deactivate" HMM, then I guess its one which also modifies defines.txt. I cant be sure, but I would guess so.

@Fletz thanks for the follow up, I have not identified the mod that may be "blocking" Higher Mortality. I think it might be a not so obvious mod. Very strange how a mod might be blocking Higher Mortality even though it is loaded at the very end.

I am going to try to disable Unofficial Patch again, that is the only mod that I can even imagine having anything to do with newborn health(which is the value I been changing in Higher Mortality to test to see if it is working on my playset.

@peequi: could you find the mod which caused the issue?

in my test everything is going well, but I dont use soooo much mods as you.

fyi someone made a Higher Mortality Mod Infant + Patch mod. Didnt work for me same issue

@Fletz, good idea, I did change to "defines" no luck. Also changed it to "00_defines" as this is what the base game had it named, no luck

@dreadnoughT Here is my mod list, can you see which ones you use as well, I am guessing a mod we are using is somehow blocking "Higher Mortality Mod". These mods are in order

@peequi: thx for the information.

I have one idea what you may could try:
rename zdefines.txt to defines.txt (=original name of the file in the game folder) and have a look if it now works with other mods if you put it as last mod in the load order.

please let me know and thank you very much for testing. I wont find the time for it the next days, but if this is a solution I may make it standard with the next update that the mod-files get the names of the original-files.

This mod does work especially by itself, easy to see and test. But when paired up with other mods it doesn't work even if loaded last. I will continue to look around but I want to see if anyone knows a work around. Again mod is loaded last so that is the weird thing. Easy way to see if this mod is working is to change the mod to something extreme like this

zdefines
NEWBORN_HEALTH_BASE = 3.3
changed to 1, most newborns will not survive. That is how I quickly see if the mod is working for me.

@dreadnought? Still no dead children? I've actually no idea why it shouldnt work properly - especially if you let it load at last.

what other mods do you use?

Just a question, I'm not sure if the mod is working for me right now. Traits like Chaste are adjusted so the mod is "there" but almost no children ever die for me on any character or for the AI. The mod is last in my load order. So I'm not sure if the mod is working for me tbh. Any suggestionss?

If you want use both this mod and More Single Combats, just make sure to adjust the settings to 75% chance of being wounded after being defeated for everyone with a 30 day cool down, so the likelihood of commanders and knights being killed is reduced drastically with a high prioritisation of capturing. People will still die from time to time in battle especially when opposing religions clash.

Okay yeah confirmed do NOT use this with the more single combats mod. Or the one that makes generals actually need to travel to armies. As this makes the generals have to fight many stupid amounts of duels and sooner or later they lose one and die.

I don't know if it's because of just this mod. But the mortality of commanders in battle has become INSANE like even if they are winning a battle they die halfway through. It's gotten to the point where just using generals is a death sentence.This doesn't seem to affect knights or other people in the battle in the same way. Just the commanders.

@Fletz
Great idea, but I don't have the guts to use it yet! :-)

Love the mod, thanks :)

awesome! thanks!
