Safe Hell Gates [No Infernal Invasion]

Mm, interesting. I remember to once have seen a screenshot of an Ant Queen opening a Hell Gate, not sure if that might be a weird bug or rare interaction in the base game.
I don't think my mod here should do anything to Old Wizards, but many patches have taken place since I last changed something, so I hope the passiveness still works as intended.

I usually get mad cultist prompts with hell gates but after installing this it said an old wizard, idk if this is known but it shouldnt be a huge deal if they are more passive

I don't think you can add mods in mid-game in general, since the save game remembers, which mods it has activated. But you can edit already active mod files.

If you have any other mod enabled in your current game, you could copy paste all those relevant lines from my Safe Hell Gate mod into the other mod file.

They are under Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/1606340/ then some other long numbers for each different mod. You would only need all lines from the end that look like:

selectmonster "Demonic Locust"
infwander 14
wanderrest 80
wandermaxdist 4

not the stuff before that. Then it should take effect, once you load the savegame.
Hope that helps somehow.

I wonder if this works if added mid-game. I'm a warlock in my current game, and I accidentally dug down while in Agartha. Dealing with the Infernal forces is NOT a fun time at my current strength, and making them passively roam instead of trying to invade would be nice.

Note, they may still wander around a little bit here and there on Elysium, but nothing evem remotely close to an real invasion happened in my testing.

Here is another solution.
Inferno is complacent now, Gates may open and stay open, but infernal forces do not move out to conquer the world. Should have no influence on Demonologist summons.

From what I have read now, modding events are broken in general for everyone now, so my previous solution would not work either.
Maybe it is time for yet another new solution...

Yeah, with the solution you had of an event breaking the portal after it's created, it was only the demonologist portals that I saw problems with.

Yeah, from what I have heard in the Discord, Event Modding is a bit broken right now.
Now, I am afraid the best solution would be to wait for the next game patch to fix the issue, or should I return to the previous solution? Ah, decisions, decisions. You said it worked just fine with normal portals, to just close them, right? Only the special Demonologist portals were bugged with the last solution? Decisions, decisions...

Seems like this might've stopped working with the most recent update. The celestial guardian never spawns, so the gates remain open and active as they would without the mod.
