East Asian Clothes: Redux
East Asian Clothes: Redux (EACR) is a mod that improves the appearance of pops & characters in East Asia – specifically, China, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan – to make them feel more realistic & immersive by providing them with new headwear & clothing assets to replace many of the rather generic or inaccurate base-game assets.
Here are many of the changes EACR adds to Victoria 3:
China
- Politicians, commanders, servicemen, and officers in Great Qing now wear nuanmao in the winter and liangmao in the summer – iconic headgear of the Qing dynasty.
- Most pops & characters in the Empire of China (i.e., Chinese monarchy without Manchu as a primary culture) now wear Ming-inspired clothing & headgear.
- Chinese politicians in republican China now wear more standard clothing instead of keeping imperial court attire. If China becomes recognized, they will also begin wearing western hats.
- Chinese politicians and commanders in both Great Qing and "Ming China" under monarchies will wear different Mandarin squares based on the status of their interest group or their rank.
Korea
- In Joseon, kings now always wear red & princes now always wear blue.
- After the Korean Empire is declared, the emperor/king will now wear gold & the prince will wear red.
- In either case, the monarch & heir will now wear ikseongwan – the iconic headgear of Korean monarchs.
- Korean politicians in a Korean monarchy now wear samo and court dress with squares denoting their interest group’s status.
- Politicians in republican Korea and middle & upper class pops now wear gat.
- Military pops & characters now wear jeollip.
Vietnam
- The emperor/king of Dai Nam will now Ming-inspired golden dragon robes. The prince will now wear red robes.
- Both the monarch & heir of Dai Nam now wear special headgear.
- Vietnamese politicians in a Vietnamese monarchy now wear Ming-inspired court attire, as well as phốc đầu headgear. Most politicians will wear round headgear, but the Armed Forces & any politicians who are also commanders will wear a square one.
- Politicians in republican Vietnam and most Vietnamese pops now wear their own clothing model instead of directly borrowing from the base game Chinese or Southeast Asian clothing.
- Vietnamese pops & characters now wear different kinds of headgear, including Ming-inspired hats whilst under a monarchy, and hats meant to portray khăn vấn & nón lá.
Japan
- Imperial princes now wear a more peach-colored robe.
- Emperors will wear kanmuri with the ei standing upright.

If you are here from the original East Asian Clothes mod and/or the East Asian Clothes Patch mod, you’ll be glad to know that:
- EACR is implemented in a more future-proof manner, and will (very likely) not break every single major Vic3 update
- EACR is a fully standalone mod with built-in compatibility with other popular clothing mods, including Western Clothes: Redux and the Community Outfit Mod – no patches required!
Please uninstall or deactivate EAC and EACP, and replace them with EACR moving forward. Thank you for your continued support for an amazing mod!
EACR implements all its features in its own files & makes heavy use of the 1.12 INJECT system in script to maximize mod compatibility. It should be compatible with all other mods, although there may be incompatibilities with certain other clothing mods that are not implemented with EACR in mind.
Please reach out to their respective authors if you find that another mod clashes with EACR.
This mod otherwise works alone and may be placed anywhere to any other mods.
This mod does not rely on any DLC features, so you should not need any DLCs.
