I downloaded a flag mod on the Steam Workshop that changes both the title and flag of de jure "Empire of Scandinavia" (3 yellow crowns on a red field), to "Empire of Kalmar Union" (red cross on a yellow field). Since its a graphics mod it said it was ironman compatible (it was) and didn't seem to be outdated for new updates. Yet, when I load into the game, the title "Kalmar Union" is changed in-game, but the old flag remains. How can I get the correct flag to appear in game (the red cross on a yellow field)? Not sure why its driving me so crazy; I just noticed it and now want to have it working correctly. Thanks.

Delete the generated flags folder in Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II.
I did that immediately before entering the game. Loaded in the game, flag still not showing up, even though the de jure title was correctly changed. I exited back out and the gfx folder was back in the same spot it was before I deleted it. It seems like the mod reloads it when I launch the game. This is confusing. Note that the 2 other flag mods I'm running that change the flags of the Hospitaller and Teutonic Orders are both working correctly.
The game generates it, using whatever mods provide flags, and of course all flags contained in the base game and DLC. However, I'm not sure why it's not getting rid of flags of deactivated mods.
No, the mod isn't deactivated. I downloaded it from the Steam Workshop and I check the box for it before I load the game. I've got 2 other flag mods that work fine; its just this one isn't loading the correct flag, even though vanilla, de jure "Empire of Scandinavia" is now "Kalmar Union". I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this, because this is frustratingly curious why its doing this:
Title: Empire of Kalmar Union (mod activated)
Flag: Vanilla 3 yellow crowns on red field (should be a red cross on a yellow field; I'd link to it but don't have enough posts... yet)
In that case, some mod has too many or too few flags. Each defined title needs a flag and each flag should correspond to a defined title. Try checking the landed titles file for your mods and see if any titles are missing flags.
I looked into doc/paradox interactive/ck2/gfx/flags/flag files, and e_scandinavia was there. The modder said that that's what should be there. I barely know anything about code so I'm too scared to change anything in those files.
