Project Milestones

Technical Preview Release Announcement:

Project Utopia is still under development. The development of the mod began in December 2024, starting with a prototype that has now developed to a state where I would say it’s a lot of fun and features some flavored content. So I wanted to share it with you. Keep in mind, the mod is an earlier stage of development not all gameplay elements are finished and you may encounter some parts under construction.

I’ve previously developed EU4 content extensions, but this is a much larger project, touching many elements of Victoria 3. Looking forward to feedback on this mod page or via Discord.

Release Beta is planned for this year, with slow but steady progress. Checkout change notes for changes. Next milestone is alpha with all core features being there but not completly finished – should arrive soon.

All existing content is stable in terms of bugs and has been tested in play sessions. The mod will frequently update, which may cause bugs in save games or missing features from new updates. English and German localization are work in progress. Other languages have English as placeholder. It features much placeholder AI art.

The mod features many AI generated images and text descriptions.

Mod Compatibility →
From a technical view the mod is very compatible. Only conflicts with any mods that change base ideology stances. Feel free to request compatibility patches so they can be added to the roadmap. Best to put utopia first in load order, so other mods may overwrite it with their changes.
Highly recommended to start with a new campaign, otherwise laws, journal entries, resources and more will be missing.
