any news on the progress for the historical bloodlines?

Pretty sure a lot of what's causing steam and file extractors throwing errors is that you have your filename as "Bloodlines_Submod.3" That ".3" is causing a LOT of issues because any OS is going to think it's a ".3" filetype. You really should change that.

update... it just didn't retroactively change everything... well i can deal with it
Clevaryo 15 Aug, 2023 @ 4:14am 
never mind it still doesnt work... tommorow i need to find it tho...
Clevaryo 15 Aug, 2023 @ 4:09am 
just a little note

if you change the files of the bloodline as if you change all of it to "all_descendants" you need to chnage this one too since it over ride

Can some either tell me how or make compatch that allows you to get all the Bloodlines from the More Bloodlines for AGOT? Thanks.....

Really nice mod, thank you. Can you add a feature to add the bloodline of a character when you click on his portrait ?

People use it! It's the only mod like this in the workshop. I'd be sad if it were to be lost

im pretty swamped with projects and exams right now but ill update it over the christmas holidays with as many new options as i can think of. Just make a comment of anything you want me to add and ill do my best to get it done
De Clare 23 Nov, 2021 @ 3:45am 
Shoot, I would love custom bloodlines being added in.
Gortuh 4 Nov, 2021 @ 6:01pm 
Hello, could you add decision to add attila bloodline?
Paddy Power  [author] 14 Jun, 2021 @ 5:07pm 
What kind of features would you want me to add?
shadow26 6 Jun, 2021 @ 7:52am 
yes some of us still use this mod i rather like it
Paddy Power  [author] 10 May, 2021 @ 6:30pm 
I don't know if people still use this mod, I stopped playing ck 2 awhile ago and ive been busy with college up until now but I could update the mod and add some new features if there is still a demand for it now that i have some free time. let me know.
Paddy Power  [author] 10 May, 2021 @ 6:24pm 
@jimstein Thanks, I kind of gave up on trying to fix it, I tried to figure out what was wrong but i never really considered it was just a stray curly bracket that was causing all the problems. I appreciate the help, uploading mods isn't something i do a lot i mainly just make them for myself. Hopefully it works now.
Jimstein Peerless 9 May, 2021 @ 8:54pm 
installing this behaves badly on my machine. it is named decriptor.mod and descritpor.zip. How to fix this? Well...Rename the files. But most important is to fix the errors in the mod file:
Remove the last '}' that is not matched and add a line to the mod file:
dependencies = { "Sketchy Cheat Menu" }
SuperShag 12 Mar, 2021 @ 12:05pm 
I downloaded the mod and ticked it, but it does not show up in the intrigue menu. Am I missing something?
Pastizzio 22 Jan, 2021 @ 10:43pm 
Does it still work?
bhargavmr1 31 Oct, 2020 @ 12:24pm 
anyone able to get it to work recently?
Candesco 26 Oct, 2020 @ 4:01pm 
Don't forget to turn on cloud save, people. Otherwise no mod will work. I know this does sound stupid, but as long as cloud save isn't enabled then mods won't show up in the list and you can't active it then.
yvictor20 26 Sep, 2020 @ 6:27am 
Any updates?
Archmagos 5 Sep, 2020 @ 2:26am

Opid 18 Aug, 2020 @ 7:30pm

Fakey 5 Aug, 2020 @ 7:34pm 
@Laus Extract with 7zip, for some reason, we can't normally extract it
Ayurie 5 Aug, 2020 @ 12:58am 
alternate download link just giving an empty zip file - mod doesn't work
LaChankle 26 Jul, 2020 @ 6:16am 
Doesn't work with Game of thrones mod
Sourenics 24 Jul, 2020 @ 6:31am 
Followed steps listed by @BackMuLan, working like a charm now. Amazing.
LePetitPenguin 20 Jul, 2020 @ 3:14pm 
I really want to try this mod and I have followed the steps outlined by @BackMuLan below but when I download the alternative link compressed file, I am unable to extract anything from it and I am prompted that the file itself is empty despite it appearing to be 74 kb in my files explorer. Can anyone help?
BackMuLan 20 Jul, 2020 @ 7:25am 
When I subscribe to this sub-mod, the menu did not show up in the intrigue menu even though I had this sub-mod enabled with main "Sketchy's Sketchy Cheat menu" mod enabled.

I did following and this bloodline cheat menu showed up in the intrigue menu.

1. I unsubscribed this sub-mod from steam,
2. opened to "C:\Users\(your username)\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod" folder in my computer, then deleted "descriptor.zip" and "descriptor.mod.mod" file. (these files seemed to be the files that steam downloaded when I subscribed this mod)
3. I downloaded this sub-mod, using link in the "Alternative download link" section at the bottom of this sub-mod's description
4. unzip the downloaded file at the "C:\Users\(your username)\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod" folder.
5. enable this mod from the mod-list at the game-launcher or at the game's tile menu.

I thank Hyper Mustang for creating this sub-mod and providing the Alternative download link.

this cheat not show up on menu intrigue
gary.bushby 26 May, 2020 @ 7:10am 
yo this was working but now it not cheats on the bloodlines cheats dont show up is it because of the update ?
Peter Griffin 24 May, 2020 @ 11:01pm 
when do you think you'll be able to add the historical bloodlines?
yusufthedon 17 May, 2020 @ 3:30pm 
not showing up on menu for some reason
DirtyDan6644 14 May, 2020 @ 2:28pm 
@Badman, what is the solution?
VladtheLad 13 May, 2020 @ 4:54pm 
ok no problem found the solution
VladtheLad 13 May, 2020 @ 4:30pm 
i have a problem when i start with the mod and chose a character and go to decision with cheats on the bloodlines cheats dont show up only the normal sketchy options do
oh no 11 May, 2020 @ 10:35am 
So there are two descriptor.mod files in the archive the workshop provides. Steam makes its own iirc so you ought to delete any you have inside of the mod's folder before uploading it.

Additionally, the .mod file steam provides points to the wrong location. Make sure the mod folder and accompanying .mod file share the same name (maybe required?), and that the .mod file points toward the folder. Hopefully that's helpful and fixes the problem, but it's been a while since I uploaded anything to the CK2 workshop. I also think that steam likes to erase the workshop page's description when you update things, so keep that in mind.
Arnolf Hüttler 8 May, 2020 @ 8:45am 
Btw, could you create a bloodline that gives a trait?
Please.
For example if i want all my dynasty to be attractive or genius, u know those things
Arnolf Hüttler 8 May, 2020 @ 8:24am 
Guys, if the file name is Bloodlines_Submod just change the descriptor.mod to Bloodlines_Submod.mod
MP4 6 May, 2020 @ 11:58pm 
Excited for historical bloodlines!
Paddy Power  [author] 6 May, 2020 @ 12:44pm 
I don't know how to fix it steam messes with the file in some way but they don't explain what way so i can't fix it
Ren 6 May, 2020 @ 12:22pm 
It stopped working for me too and i looked at it in the mod folder, the uploaded steam zip file contains 2 descriptor.mod files in it, shouldn't there only be 1? they are 2 different sizes and neither matches the single file in the alternate link version.
Trevor_the_breakfast_sandwich 4 May, 2020 @ 5:44pm 
im guessing this wont work in iron man is it
Paddy Power  [author] 3 May, 2020 @ 10:58am 
@Ren Might be possible but it could take awhile for me to get that to work. I'll have a go at it but ill make it so you can add male bloodlines as a female character and female bloodlines as a male character aswell after I add that i'll experiment to see if thats possible. The only way I really know for sure that would work is if I add custom bloodlines with both matrilineal and patrilineal inheritance but i may be able to try something else. I'll look into it but no guarantees.
Ren 3 May, 2020 @ 10:08am 
If your'e planning to make bloodlines available to male or female anyway, any way you could add a single decision to make all chosen bloodlines inheritable to all descendants by making them both matrilineal and patrilineal?
Ahri 3 May, 2020 @ 7:27am 
same here, don't work if i use the steam version
Moe Lester 2 May, 2020 @ 5:40pm 
Having the same issue as @Meowls
I though I was going crazy or blind
Meowls 2 May, 2020 @ 5:00pm 
The Steam version seems to be broken. It appears in my mod list but it doesn't actually work when the game loads up. I think somethings off with the zipped folder part of the mod. I downloaded the mod from your Mod DB link and it works perfectly.

For anyone having trouble with the Steam version, just download the Mod DB version and extract into the mods folder (don't worry if the extracted folder isn't zipped, it still works for me). Should work just fine. :)

(btw thank you for making this mod, I love it!)
白眉鹰王 2 May, 2020 @ 4:31pm 
Hyper Mustang Thanks!!! I ve been trying to start with a female knight and marry her with a Carolingian. It is great if I can make both of their bloodline inheritable to all their sons. :steamhappy:
