VIET 1.14.3 "Catherine of Aragon" is out!

“Lastly, I make this vow, that mine eyes desire you above all things.”
- Catherine of Aragon’s deathbed letter to King Henry VIII

I was bored and wanted to code some simple events for VIET's first update of 2025, and thought about doing something related to a minor observance day, similar to the Shark Day themed update I did last year. As is turns out, January 12th is Kiss a Ginger Day, so I thought why not add in a few events related to red hair? Now, do you know who probably did kiss a ginger? Henry VII, since his first wife Catherine of Aragon was a redhead. That's the rationale for the name of this update, in case you were wondering. (On that note, Henry VIII was a redhead himself, now that I think about it.)

This small update otherwise adds a few other random events including a few that are "follow up" events that could potentially fire as, well, "follow ups" to older events in VIET (based on a suggestion someone had in the VIET/RICE 2024 survey responses).

Remember you may need to unsubscribe and resubscribe (multiple times if necessary) for mods to update properly. A new game is not required.

VIET 1.14.5 "Snowfall" is out!

“Friends on pipa, poetry and drinking, all of them cast me away. When I see the snow, the moon or blossoms, I long for you deeply.”
- Bai Juyi (772-846 CE), Chinese poet

In honor of AJ's Arctic Attire and PiGu's Medieval Monuments content creator packs that came out earlier this week, I'm releasing a small VIET update with some snow themed events! (In case you're wondering, some of the text in the event example below is randomized, so calipers are just one of many potential results.)

New events added in this version: 8

• Added 8 snow themed events
• Added new decision: Organize a Snow Festival
• Fixed irrelevant error spam due to rulers without territories getting the favorite hair color event
• Miscellaneous bugfixes and tweaks

UPDATE WHEN?​

Now that CK3 1.15 is coming out, and Chapter 4 has been revealed, including a rough schedule for when this year's DLCs will come out, I have a better idea of how to plan out VIET and RICE's updates for this year.

The 1.15 "Crown" patch is out today, but as I am pretty busy much of March IRL, I might not be able to update VIET and RICE for a couple weeks. Thank you for your patience and understanding! Please be aware that VIET/RICE's update to 1.15 will probably not be savegame compatible with games started in 1.14.

VIET/RICE 2025 PLANS​

Next, it looks like we're getting the China expansion after years of back and forth debates - it is what it is. This will undoubtedly be one of the CK series' largest updates ever, and it'll be neither an easy nor quick effort to get mods up to date. I did not originally expect something like this so soon, so I'll have to significantly rework my plans for VIET/RICE. I am still committed to doing the Mayo Flavor Pack this year, as well as featuring upcoming TBA RICE content in this year's ModCon (even if only as a preview). More news will be forthcoming once I figure things out!

Guard: Where'd you get the coconuts?

VIET 1.15.0 "Palm Tree" is now out. This is a basic update to CK3's patch 1.15 that came out earlier this month, that also includes a few new coconut-themed events. Thank you all for your patience while I was busy throughout much of March.

VIET 1.15.1 is out, featuring the return of beloved events from CK2 VIET!

“His cocks do win the battle still of mine, When it is all to nought.”
- William Shakespeare, Anthony and Cleopatra

After working on it in secret for a while, I'm happy to reveal and release VIET's juiciest update yet, adding in a few old events that some VIETerans might fondly remember. After it debuted a decade ago, the famous and beloved chicken pun events from the OG CK2 VIET are returning to VIET! Not only that, but they've come with new chicken pun events, for a total of 69 new events!

I've also removed the immersion game rule, so you can experience all of VIET's events without worrying about the game getting puritanical on you. Don't get too cocky, I've carefully balanced the intensity of these events, including the new chicken pun events, so you'll only experience them at the most reasonable and non-immersion-breaking times.

Remember you may need to unsubscribe and resubscribe (multiple times if necessary) for mods to update properly. A new game is not required.

Spoiler: CHANGELOG

New events added in this version: 69

• Added 3 chicken pun events*
• Added 66 new events about chickens and chicken puns
• Added new artifacts: Chicken Statue, Wooden Cock
• Removed immersion game rule
• Miscellaneous bugfixes and tweaks

Happy April Fool’s Day, eh?

 

[cybrxkhan]

Everyone, that above was an April's Fools joke, if you couldn't guess by the rickroll links above. I will probably never put those events back in VIET, even as an optional thing........ or would I?

"I've heard others say the same."

VIET 1.16.0 "Imperial" is now out. This is a basic update to CK3's patch 1.16 and the Khans of the Steppe DLC. In honor of the Oblivion Remaster, this update adds a few Oblivion-inspired events and a very special, affordable clutter artifact. As always, events with more overt references can be adjusted via game rule, for those of you who don't like that. Thank you all for your patience while I am busy distracted with Oblivion.

Spoiler: CHANGELOG

New events added in this version: 7

• Added 7 Oblivion inspired events
• Added new artifact: Quality Horse Armor
• Added a few new event backgrounds
• VIET’s events now account for the new world_steppe_central and world_siberia regions added in vanilla as needed
• Adjusted the geographical triggers for a few events
• Miscellaneous bugfixes/tweaks
