obfusCKate - Hidden Information

Description
What this mod does:
This mod obfuscates the information that the character you are playing isn't expected to know like stats of an unknown character or exact chances for schemes, etc. This takes away the feeling of omniscience and delivers a more challenging and roleplay driven experience, more consistent with the game setting.

NEW UPDATE - 20 MARCH - Latest Patch 1.12.3


PREVIOUS UPDATE - 21 NOVEMBER - Patch 1.11

This new update brings an array of features that I think will enhance the gameplay experience.Now updated for the "Tours & Tournaments" and "Royal Court" DLC's, thanks to the kind contribution of @Rellom and @v o i d.

1. Meta Traits Visibility Option: Now you can choose to hide certain meta traits, such as fertility (fecund/sterile), loyalty (loyal/disloyal), and intellect (Genius, Imbecile, Dull, etc.). In my opinion, this adds to immersion.

2. Disabling Child Personality Traits Option: With this option active Childhood traits like "Rowdy" will still be displayed, but traits like "deceitful," "temperate," or "chaste" will remain hidden until the characters become adults.

3. Limited Information for Characters: Characters about whom the player knows only basic or minimal information will now only display their physical traits. No more instantaneously knowing the education of a far-away count!

4. Skill Masking Option: Characters may now deceive or be perceived by the player to possess skill values higher (or lower, if they are modest) than their actual skills. This feature is influenced by various factors, such as personalities, skills, and traits.This is not random and depends on several factors, like each one's personalities, skills and traits.
Sorting in "Known Characters list" will sort BY PERCEIVED SKILL VALUE and not by real skill. ;)
(If you enable vanilla sorting, then the skill will be sorted by real value so, you might see a character with a B skill below one with C skill)

5. Expanded Rumours: The world is buzzing with new rumours, including rumours about rulers - the so-called "Fake News." These rumours are based on secrets, hinting at potential secrets characters may possess, without necessarily confirming them. Beware, for even the player can become the subject of rumours, with the likelihood increasing with the number of rivals.

6. Find Spouse Decision: Rely on your trusted advisors, each with their unique approach. Diplomats will seek candidates who bring power and prestige, the Court Physician/Chaplain will focus on fertility, a friend will seek genuine love, and your Spymaster will offer an intriguing list of candidates, but with more information about them.

7. Enhanced Spy Scheme: Starting a Spy Scheme will now prompt your Spymaster to launch the "Find Secrets" task on the target court. Information will from all the court will be gathered

8.Court Physician decision: When deciding to find a physician, the candidates' skills and relevant traits will be displayed

9. Reworked Skill Ranges and obfuscated more numbers: Skill ranges have been tweaked to be more consistent with vanilla values, with the A Skill starting at 25. Prestige, dread, gold and piety will now show descriptive words.

10. Enhanced Character Switching: Added an interaction "Switch Character" that is only available when a character is incapable: Those who like to change characters via the in game menu might have already noticed that when changing, the relations of the previous character will remain, even if you change to an unrelated character. Now, when switching characters via the in-game menu, the previous character's relations will be cleared, and new ones will be established relevant to the character you switch to. This ensures your playthrough stays fresh.

Troubleshoot & compatibility

If you would like to support me...
You can Buy me a coffee [www.buymeacoffee.com] if you wish but, like I mentioned earlier, I work on the mod for enjoyment so, as long as I can, with or without the coffee [www.buymeacoffee.com], if I feel the need to enhance this mod or perfect it, I will be working on it.

I want a more hardcore experience
You can customize your experience on the game rules

I don't want such an hardcore experience. I only wanted to hide some traits
Check my other ultra light weight mod "Hide That Trait" here . This mod will add a single rule to CK3 that allows you to hide fertility, loyalty or both types of traits.


This mod adds allows you to take notes and access a personal memorandum that lists all characters with whom you have memories or notes on.

And check out my mod My Sexual Preference
This mod adds "Personal Discovery" decision that an adult character player can take every 20 years, allowing them to embrace self-discovery and choose their sexual preference (change in game sexuality).

And check out my other mod CK3 Music Control
CK3 Music Control . This mod adds a next song button and a toggable, playable, movable and configurable playlist.

Languages:
If you are not playing in english, some information might be shown.
Text is fully localized so it will be easy to translate for anyone who wants it.

Additional notes:
Tooltips in the game explain most changes

Compatibility
This mod must be last on load order
This mod is expected to be FULLY compatible with mods that only add flavour like RICE, etc
This mod will most certainly have major compatibility issues with overhauls and mods that change the UI, game rules or schemes

IMHO: I made this Patch for compatibility with In My Humble Opinion (PENDING UPDATE)

It is possible to hide almost everything. Although, this mod does not hide country info totally. Try this mod last in the Load order, please.

this is important information for me, thanks, I’m working on a patch for Sinews of War patch, I wanted to hide all modifiers related to population, trade etc in county view .Generally all informations are hidden (the numbers are encrypted, but only for a moment, when I start the game after 1 day, some of them are automatically revealed) is an update necessary, the order of mods? (the last 2 mods on the list are: Obfus then SoW? - sow is last mod, should I change the order? Or maybe a a different command? I’ve looked an old version of patch to version 1.8 ck 3 and all province modifiers were omitted so
Is it possible to do this?, to hide all county information? Btw great mod

I think the mod must be updated after the new patch.

@Jp78 I noticed that the Issues menu will tell you if another character has a stronger military than you - under the ‘You can declare a war’ section. Is this a known limitation of the mod?

Currently out of date heads up

Understood. Thanks again for the super quick response and for your continued support of this excellent mod!

@racso, unfortunately I don't think it's going to happen :(
racso May 8 @ 9:22am 
@Jp78 Is there still a chance that obfusCKate will integrate with UniUI?
racso May 7 @ 4:37pm 
Thanks for the quick response!
Jp78  [author] May 7 @ 4:17pm 
@racso, as for the compatibility with the Nameplates, I can't say for sure if they are compatible but probably not since this mod changes most UI files, specially the most important like the lists, portraits, character window, etc.
I will try to make a list of the files this mod changes (but I don't have much space in the description to write it xD)
I don't play CK3 (it's been, probably, a year). I mainly mantain and update the mod.
