@Gary Frikin Oak. If you want, we can exchange emails privately so we can communicate better.

@Gary Frikin Oak.
I tried to create a custom issue and place it in the appropriate file, but I ended up making everybody follow Yang Singularity. Any ideas? This never happened before when I modified issues for 2016 and 2012.

@Gary Frikin Oak. Thank you so much for your assistance. I will try to work it out.

@DarkKnight. So for a custom issue, you set the parties' position on the issue, and its level of importance to them. These are the base values for the issue.
Then you have the ideologies, which are where you have a candidate endorse issues, such as the custom one you are creating. That ideology, when endorsed, applies an effect to the specific issue. The effect modifies the importance of the issue to the parties, as well as their enthusiasm for that issue.
So there are three different values: position, importance, and enthusiasm. Position and importance are set in the custom issue. Importance and enthusiasm are modified in the ideology.

This link is for a .txt document [drive.google.com] containing my custom issue for Green Capitalism, and the ideology that calls it. So that you can see what I've done.

@Gary Frikin Oak. Yes, that is what I am after. It is a custom issue. I assume your issues are customized. What do you mean by the modifier?

@DarkKnight, I'm assuming you're asking how to guarantee that voters actually care about the issue once you endorse it? If so, it has to do with the base priority that the issue has for Democrats, Republicans, Independents, or in the case of a custom issue, what priority you give it. As well, as the modifier you have set for endorsing the issue, where it increases the importance of that issue for those voting blocs. If the issue has low base priority, and little to no modifier, then votes won't have any enthusiasm for that issue.

How were you able to ensure that the policies in your ideology tree will show up in voter enthusiasm when endorsed? I am working on my own mod and it doesn't work.
