Compatibility
——————
Mythos 2: Historical Fantasy extensively modifies files throughout the game and as such can’t gaurentee compatibility with most other mods. It is confirmed to NOT be compatible with CK2+, HIP, After the End, Game of Thrones, After the End, and Patrum Scuta. Mythos 2 modifies portraits – using other mods that alter portraits will usually result in graphical errors.
