This program reads a playset from the CK3 launcher, retrieves its mods, and copies all of them into one new single local mod which will not receive any updates. This is a project by Community Mods for Historicity.

Why?
The problem we face with each official CK3 patch is asynchronous mod updates. This results in an issue where some mods are updated, while others are not. Since Steam does not have the option to download older versions of mods, players are left with incomplete or broken playsets. It can take months before all mods in a large playset are updated.How?
A "snapshot" of a current playset of your choice is created, which is stored locally without further updates. This way, it will be possible to continue existing campaign or play older versions of CK3 until your favorite mods are updated. The load order of the playset is used to decide which files will appear in the snapshot, and which will not (because they should be overridden according to the playset's definition). Efforts have been made to ensure functionality with Total Conversion playsets.Download & Installation
