Description:

This is the Crusader Kings II Music – Complete mod, but all Crusader Kings III mood tracks have been completely disabled. For those of you who want the pure, unadulterated CK2 musical experience.

NOTE: This is an entirely separate mod, not an add-on! Do NOT run the two together!

Removing Metal Tracks

In order to reduce clutter on the workshop, I unfortunately haven’t made a ‘no metal’ version of this mod. Luckily, it’s quite easy to remove these undesired tracks yourself.

Use the guide I posted HERE (for people wishing to remove the Orchestral Horse Lords tracks) to navigate to the file that you’ll need to edit. Just remember that the mod ID/folder name is 2501940044, not 2362491960.

Once you’ve done this, just delete everything listed between the METAL/MODERN and CK3 MUSIC (REMOVED) dividers. Save, exit and you’re done!

Re-enabling DLC Tracks

Paradox seems to have stepped up its music game in Northern Lords (probably because they got good ol’ Andreas Waldetoft back to do the music) so this mod may not seem as appealing as it once was, when all the CK3 music was rather stale and lifeless.

If you want to re-enable the DLC tracks (or tracks from specific DLCs) then follow the tutorial below:

  • Navigate to this mod’s install directory on your computer (Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent11583102501940044 by default).
  • Open the music folder and open the zz_ck3_music_removed.txt file (should be the last file listed) with any text editor.
  • Delete everything listed below the NORTHERN LORDS divider and this will re-enable all tracks from DLCs/flavour packs, leaving only the vanilla/base game tracks disabled.
  • Alternatively, you can delete certain sections to only enable tracks from a specific DLC/flavour pack (e.g. delete everything between NORTHERN LORDS and ROYAL COURT to re-enable the Northern Lords flavour pack tracks).
  • Save, quit and you’re done!

Compatibility

✔️ Ironman compatible – This mod does not modify the checksum and will not prevent you from getting achievements!

✔️ Savegame compatible – Saves made before downloading this mod can be loaded and played as normal!

This should also be compatible with most other mods, even ones that also alter the in-game music (though I haven’t tested this). The only potential for conflict is if a mod has music files with names that are identical to ones in here.

I do not profit from the distribution of any of these mods and should any of the tracks included be officially added by Paradox to Crusader Kings III in the future, they shall be removed!
