Description:

Please note that this is a reupload following an issue with my Steam account. If you have used this mod in the past, please subscribe to this version and ensure that you are not running the two versions concurrently.

Not compatible with achievements.

What

This mod has two major functions:

  • Replaces the base game’s message feed and toasts with a unified scrolling box that can show many messages at once.
  • Adds new notifications for various types of events, which can be configured via a settings menu to specify which events (like deaths, births, or wars) you’d like to see for which types of characters (like family, vassals, or courtiers).

Why

There’s a lot going on in the world of CK3, but not all of it is often apparent to the player without doing a lot of clicking around in menus. I created this mod mainly for my own use because I wanted to experience the game with greater awareness of what was going on in the game world around me.

Localization

Localizations are included for the following languages:

  • Russian (thanks to Sonik)
  • Chinese (thanks to Juijote)
  • Korean (translated poorly by the mod author; let me know if you’d like to contribute a proper Korean translation)

Since the mod is under continuing development, these localizations may fall out of date. In places where no text exists for a given localization, I’ve added the English text as a placeholder so that users of those languages can see English instead of raw localization keys.

If you’d like to contribute any localization, please feel free to post the files on this workshop page or make a pull request at the GitHub repository:

Compatibility

This mod is NOT compatible with Clear Notifications (but does allow dismissing all notifications via the hotkey F).

I’m not aware of any compatibility issues with other mods and have generally attempted to make the mod as broadly compatible as possible. If you run into problems with another mod, please let me know so I can document it here.

Other caveats
  • This mod strives for maximum compatibility, which sometimes means choosing not to overwrite code from the base game that sends certain notifications. This means that you may sometimes see notifications for certain events because those notifications exist in the base game, even if you’ve turned off the relevant setting.
  • The scrolling message list still has a relatively short scrollback for performance reasons; you can’t scroll more than about a hundred messages back.
  • This is my first mod and I don’t know what I’m doing, so there are bound to be plenty of bugs. If you run into one, please let me know about it here.
