Hometowns
A small mod that takes note of where exactly every character is born (specifically via event), and displays this location in the birth date tooltip.
This applies to every character born after game start for as long as they are alive. Historical characters at game start can also have birth locations, however these have to be added manually by me.
– Birth locations are ‘lost’ on character death and will no longer display.
– Only a handful of historical characters at game start have birth locations so far. If you have any suggestions for missing birth locations of historical characters, by all means let me know and I’ll add it.
If you have any other suggestions for the mod, I’m open to exploring them further. For historical character birthplace suggestions please use this discussion.
Original idea suggested by 9__Erebus.
Thanks to Frazesco for revised German translations.
The newest (real) update (1.6.9) now assigns a default birthplace to families generated via the ‘generate families’ gamerule at the start of the game, using the ‘lead’ character’s location/capital as their birthplace. I’m hoping this update also fixed whatever issues people were having prior as it all looks normal to me now in testing.
The last (real) update (1.6.7) updated compatibility with CK3 1.18. Unfortunately I’ve not added any new starting character birthplaces (except two), as it is simply too difficult, and too large an undertaking for me.
The mod is compatible with any other mod that doesn’t touch the character window (window_character.gui) NOW ALSO: the ‘game_rule_create_spouse_and_children’ which has been edited to assign birthplaces to generated families on game start. Otherwise loading this mod last might still work (no guarantees), but other mod stuff in the character window (e.g. new tabs, different layouts, etc.) will be overwritten.
Modders seeking to add compatibility with this mod can check for the global variable ‘hometowns_is_loaded‘ which is set on_game_start.
As I have failed to continue updating the addons, I will not link them directly here as they are almost certainly broken and far out of date now. The mods still exist on the workshop, but would require updating to work properly as they originally did.
If you’ve created an addon, feel free to share it here.
