Help Troubleshoot! What causes this issue?!

[Dman95]

SOLVED: It appeared to be an issue with a specific mod, "Immortal Events", after a series of Trial and Error tests I narrowed it down to this mod, at least for now with it disabled all issues seem to have gone away.


**Prelude**: I am encountering a new problem with the game since I have restarted, and I desperately need assistance from experience CK2 players/modders.

**Background**: I have just under 40 mods installed, most of which involve Artifacts, aesthetics, and orders, none of which now involve traits, although I am not 100% certain mods are the issue, it is only an assumption. Note: I have played the game off and on for years with a multitude of mods with no problems, especially like this.

**Problem**: I am continuously encountering an issue where a very large (1/3 or 1/4) percentage of the population is either a lunatic, possessed, or both. I have been told by a few people that this is not at all a normal occurrence in people's games, even though the traits are rather frequent. I have restarted this play-through 4 times now removing mods each time, and at this point I have none that I can imagine would be relevant to the issue, and yet it still persists.

**Thoughts**: I would really like to play this game, but this issue is preventing any joy I would obtain from doing so, any assistance or recommendations would be welcome. If needed I can post a list of the mods I am using, but if anyone has any similar problems or thoughts that would be ideal.

**Conclusion**: Regardless, thank you for taking the time to read/respond to this thread and have a great day!

I allways play vanilla with all DLCs. Never encountered this, so I think you have to look at the mods again. Might be a chain reaction of something.

Do you have M&M[Monks and Mystics]?
in that case, look if any mods causes alot of charachters to join satanists?
There it´s an obvious chance satansists gets these traits.

Does the mods use "Divine Marriage" feature alot?
Is big religion overuse close familly marriage, there is a big chanse of thier offspring beeing Lunatic instead of Imbreed. Think Lunatics have a considerable increased chanse of getting Possessed asw.

[Pure speculation] You havn't HF[Holy Fury] but M&M?
Could extend the chance of pagans joining satanists as they might have tought AI to be more easger of joining a society as HF added new pagan society

Do you have M&M[Monks and Mystics]?

I have all expansions and dlc installed, except for a handful of music aesthetic.

Does the mods use "Divine Marriage" feature alot?

Not to my knowledge, no.

I just gave you some starting points

Digging into what kind of strange interactions close to 40 different mods can cause gives me massive headache just thinkking of it.

Is all mods up-to-date? Does they claim to to fully support Holy Fury?

Did you try the same on an baseline before Holy Fury with no issues?

FYI we cannot help with modded games here. Please raise such issues in the User Mods forum in future, unless the issue can be duplicated in a completely unmodded game. Thanks!
