New policy crash

[Stahl-Opa]

hi guys,

I made a new policy, "birthcontrol"

It's one of my first try to mod stellaris, but I have some modding exp from CK2 and HoI2.

The new Policy should should prevent the pop growing of a) all xenos, b) of your own species and c) of all species in your empire.

I made the modfiles etc.; checked the .txt more then twice, but anyhow the game has a CTD everytime I try to change the policy. (the new policy is shown correctly on the screen, but CTD if you want to change the preselected)

Maybe one of the more experienced modders can help me out and tell me what I doing wrong.

Here my policy file:

I tested it and there was no CTD. I could switch to all the options. Maybe the problem is somewhere else? A localisation file?

Yeah my fault. Had some incompatible mods activated lol

But there is another problem. The Policy seems to work fine (also the happiness malus works as intend) but the main effect (own species/xenos should not growth any more) doesn't work.

There is abolutly no effect beside the -5% happiness. Why this doesn't work? I take the "slavery_procreation_not_allowed" policy as basis and if I'm right I use exactly the same commands (just without success). Any ideas?

ah,the problem seems to be different, I made a new thread with more fitting title.
