General setup

• A folder with mod’s files
• A .mod file

Mod Folder

• Go to Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\mod
• Create a folder named “CFP”
• Paste in this folder the files inside the zip you retrieved on PDXMods archives or from Direct Download

Mod file

• create a txt file named “cfp.mod”
• Paste the following code inside the file and update the path to match the one of the folder you just created
• Save it and close it

version="3.1.0"
tags={
	"Historical"
	"Portraits"
	"Graphics"
}
name="Community Flavor Pack : Old Version"
picture="thumbnail.png"
supported_version="1.6.*"
path="E:/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/mod/CFP"

• version is irrelevant
• supported_version is the latest game version and will only trigger the outdated mod warning if it does not match
• path is your local mod path, it can be stored elsewhere, it can be a symlink

Launch the mod

Reboot the launcher, your local build should show up. As you can see, I have Steam, Paradox and local builds detected at the same time.

Maintenance

You can now, at any time, remove all files and change your local version for another one, or make local edits that won’t be affected by auto updates.

Enjoy!
