- Why does this mod require DLC?
- The 3D aspects of Crusader Kings 3 are far less compatible and finicky to work with then other areas of the game. As PDX continues to add 3D assets in DLCs, our mod requires those DLCs to be owned in order to utilize those assets as well as mix our custom assets with DLC content.
- Why doesnt "X" culture have the items I see in the screenshots!?
- For the full experience it is recommended to have the DLC’s for CK3 as they assist us in building flavor for the cultures. It is not required, but large portions of the map will remain vanilla without them.
- So what does this mod do again?
- Creates more realistic ethnicities and diversity among the various cultures of CK3.
- Is this mod achievement compatible?
- No
- Why doesnt "X" culture have a specific item?
- This mod covers a vast portion of the CK3 map and as a result we have had to paint it with a broad brush with focus on only a few cultures at launch. More items will be available in the future.
- My culture or one I like isn’t represented right! What gives!
- We will elaborate on our policy regarding ethnicities and cultural representation in a Discussion post. For FAQ, know that we respect all cultures and aim to do the best we can to represent each one as authentically as we can.
- Where is "X" asset I saw in the WIP or Preview Pictures?!
- Some assets made it into the initial release and some did not. Everything you saw will be either replaced or imported into the mod eventually so please be patient with our team as we want you to have those assets too!
- What is coming next for this mod?
- Work in Progress screenshots and discussion of future content occurs on our discord. Please join the discord to follow the latest news and progress of the mod’s content. Discord Link – https://discord.gg/xdSAeDPT8y
- Is this mod compatible with my old save?
- It is not compatible with an existing vanilla save.
- Is this mod compatible with "X" mod?
- Compatibility is dependent on patches so if your favorite mod does not have a patch for our mod, someone will have to design one. Generally our mod is compatible with mods that do not alter the cultures or clothing groups. Below are some links to existing compatibility patches:

- How is performance?
- Performance will depend on your system and can vary. It is recommended to have more then 4 GB of VRAM due to increased texture size for some models. Optimizations will be made in the future to reduce size where appropriate but be warned having lower specs may pose an issue. One temporary solution would be to lower texture settings or overall settings when needed.
- What mods are incompatible?
- Mods that alter the portrait modifiers and gene files will be incompatible and require a compatibility patch.
- Can I use your assets in my mod?
- Permission to use assets from our mod is prohibited unless under explicit/written agreement from our mod lead, Celticus. Please respect the work that was put into the creation of these assets and the ownership rights of those who put in that work. If you contact us, are polite and cordial, and the model in question is able to be loaned, it very well could be. We cannot loan or give the assets of contributors to other projects. You will have to discuss that with the original mod uploaders.
