Submod I made for myself, thought I'd share.
Changes:
Catholicism:
-Each antipope now decreases religious authority by 20%, in addition to already requiring 2000 prestige to create
-Catholicism, and its heresies, can no longer mend any Schism nor enforce any councils (Chalcedonian Christianity still can)
Islam:
-Caliphal Subjugation and Muslim Invasion has been brought back from vanilla
-Muslim horde cultures can use both Tribal "Invasion" and the Muslim "Invasion" CBs (Muslim Invasion has been renamed "Religious Invasion" to avoid confusion)
-Religious Invasions now cost 500 piety to declare, and gives 1000 piety upon victory
-Both Caliphal Subjugation and Religious Invasion improves/decreases Court faction mood upon victory/defeat, and Religious Invasion also increased/decreases Imperial Decadence, similar to Tribal Invasion.
-"Decadent Dynasty" trait now decreases general opinion by -15, -30, -45 respectively
-Muslim dynastic males now gain the Decadent trait around 33% more frequently (MTTH changed from 60 to 40 months)
Others:
-All Holy Wars gives the main winning attacker 300 piety and 300 prestige
Perhaps I'll make one for pagans too... if I ever play them........ lol
Reasoning behind the changes are that some aspects of some religions back in vanilla, I felt were really lacking in CK2+. I kinda miss the times large Muslim blobs "explode" to decadence... Catholicism can now do all things Orthodoxy/Miaphysitism can do, but so much more. The vanilla instability brought about by vanilla anitpopes, and the uniqueness of Orthodoxy to mend Schism, are no longer there. Islam no longer has decadence, but lost many powerful CBs too. There is no longer the need for an Islamic realm to constantly "holy war to fight decadence", so to speak. The "flavour" of these religions I feel really aren't there in CK2+ anymore.

The Catholicism changes were there, firstly, for balance, secondly because some feel (me included) that "mending Schisms" makes no sense from a Catholic POV. I'll let this thread argue the point

Whether or not I'm right/wrong is another topic for another day...
The bigger changes to Islam are done so that decadence strikes big dynasties more, and having a Decadent Dynasty hurts more too. The Muslim player is therefore encouraged to declare more Holy Wars, Religious Invasions and Jihads to fight decadence. These CBs now give more piety too, upon victory. Piety should be the lifeblood of Muslims once again. Caliph Subjugation is back to make Caliphs actually feared again, but the "-4 piety a month" penalty remains, and a victory for the Caliph gives no piety, so use as your own risk. Hopefully, with these changes, the "Sword of Islam" can come alive again in CK2+ !!!!!!
