The dependancies in betterlookinggarbs.mod and blgccaftertheend.mod can be updated to "After the End Anniversary Edition" to work for the new edition. I'll be updating sometime later.

You can try messing with dependencies in the .mod files. It's a part of the game engine that can fail in weird ways.

So after lots of trail and error I think I isolated the issue, there is some kind of conflict between your mods and "After the End Fan Fork - Ruler Designer Unlocked". Not sure why, but best I can tell that is the crux of my issues. I know at that point it's not your problem and that's fine, I just figured I would notify you should this be something you want to make compatible together. Could be on their end as well that conflicts with you and not the other way around after all. Either way thank you for your time of replying to my insanity.

you are right, I thought I had all my mods off but yours and AtE but I missed one. I should get better glasses. Cordination issue after some testing this morning seems to be a AtE issue in of itself, Mexico for some reason seems broken, or Christo Rey is at least. As I turned everything off your mods included and it still wouldn't work. So something I'd have to take to the mod team of AtE. I apologize for wasting your time. I was sleep deprived and irritated at the game.

You are looking for a different mod that changes the default trait files, unlocked ruler designer traits are often this sort of problem.

forgot to mention is the ruler designer too there are tons of traits from vanilla that aren't in AtE available. Obviously didn't pick any but the fact they are there spells out some kind of issue with traits.

for some reason this mod seems to block some traits. For instance In California you don't get any of the exams and can't pick a path in the Cetic faith, or in Imamite heresy one that starts with the Q I forget the full name Qinghen or something like that. I was also just playing in Mexico and for some reason I am unable to be crowned by the Christo Rey Prelate. The Ceremony will happen and all but when it comes time to actually crown my ruler it won't trigger and I never get the trait or the notification that I'm uncrowned to go away. Leaving me uncrowned and with the malus effects that follow. I also noticed in the intrigue menu there is a decision to become a chosen one of a Persian religion that exists in the base game but not in AtE. You can't trigger it or anything but it's still sitting there.

Updated with a fix for special units.

The game crashes whenever I try to create the Pike Cavalry retinue using BLG. I've tested the other special units AtE adds and they all work fine so it's just this one for some reason.

Do you have any other mods running too?

@Nendur I am having the same problem as Gaylad and Dr.Qtya. Ontarians have no face and By Laurier's face is all black. I have done everything listed below including reinstalling blg and French_male_base1-3 are all intact. Any idea what might be causing the issue?

I've figured out the issue. Should have been obvious to me- I was using a portrait mod...

In betterlookinggarbsfull.zip, do the files gfx/characters/frankish_male/french_male_base_1.dds and the like exist?
Does canuck culture work?

I'm having the same issue as Dr.Qtya.

I've done as you suggested and everything seems to be up to date. (October 10th of 2022)

You can read the changelog file inside betterlookinggarbsfull.zip to see the most recent date. If it's an older version delete the blg full files to force a new download next time you start the game.

@nendur

Yep, I have this.

Is your main BLG mod on the latest version from last January? That's when the currently used sprites were added.

For some reason the ontarians have no face.

I own all DLC's and everyone else has a face.

Never mind! I was missing the Finno-Ugric unit pack for the "Full" BLG mod. My mistake. I cannot believe I never had it. Weird.

I don't see anything like that.

Any portraits using the old French based portraits appear to have fat necks, for some reason?

That sounds like you are doing it right. Are the dlcs activated in the game launcher? Did the installer detect anything installed that isn't actually active?

I get blank portraits and floating headgear on almost everyonr. I'm using BLG via the installer, fresh installs of BLG, CC, BLG/CC AtE, and AtE. All AtE portrait submods turned off, everything else (including base BLG and CC) on. Is there some trick with the way BLG works out of the installer that I'm missing?

No I don't, forgot about it.

If you are using BLG full, do you have Sunset Invasion?

Mayan cultures don't have any hairstyles, any reason for that?

Much obliged!

I've started updating.

update pls, the main mod got updated

That could be the main BLG mod that didn't get updated to the latest version. Check the changelog file to see if it's the 21-3 version. Delete the mod to force a new download on the next run.

Everything seems to be working great except for the headgear and hair of some of the religious leaders, which is floating off to the side. I'd appreciate any help

I'll check if that works, thank you my friend.

Disable ATE's own extra portraits to avoid conflicts.

Why are all the clothing floating off of the characters?

You are missing the Russian unit pack.

Keeps crashing with just this mod and BLG full enabled, but the game runs fine without it. The error log says "Could not open file: gfx/models/Russian_Archer.xac, error: not found."

Check if you have all the dependencies for BLG full. For AtE in particular Sunset Invasion is used more than other mods.

So yeah i have only used this mod and fan fork. i have used garbs and garbs full but i just keep getting crashes. Is this mod just in need of an update?

@nishyone I just tested "After the End Fan Fork - Bigger Interface", that's the newer of the patches.

@Jammy That would take another new mod.

Probably a stupid question but does this work on New Era Old World or do you have a separate submod for that?

Oh, well after only like one minute of play, it seems like the regular bigger interface mod works just fine, unless I'm missing something.

Ok, running only ATE Fan Fork, this mod, Better Looking Garbs, Cultural Cities Remix, and Bigger Interface - After the End Fan Fork, the game crashes to desktop when loading/launching. It works without the bigger interface submod though, so it is the problem. Is this something you would be able to/care to fix?

Disable ATE's own extra portraits to avoid conflicts.

This works well for me for all cultures except Japanese (Edokko?) men. It's only the men's portraits too, with the clothing being misaligned with their bodies (clothing shifted left or right). I have Better Looking Garbs, not Better Looking Garbs Full, and all of the portrait DLCs enabled

It's the missing Sunset Invasion pack. I took some shortcuts in their support since they don't show up without the dlc in the main game. I'll rearrange the files for a future fix.

Hello, I encountered a bug that I haven’t been able to fix. Basically, all the Mesoamerican and Mayan characters have no hair, men and women alike. Children of those cultures also don’t have portraits at all. I’m only using After the End, Better Looking Garbs modular version and this submod. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Most commonly due to a missing unit pack.

Crashes on start up

Is there anyway to take the Anjalusi hats and clothing and put them into the default ck2 as bedouin clothing? (In a separate mod)
