Sorry this is a bit late, had to find my laptop to upload the mod to the steam workshop. I kept getting a "failed to upload mod error", but somehow using my old laptop worked. I believe this should be the last time this mod needs updating as there looks to be no more DLC's. This mod will therefore be set as complete. Let me know if there is any missing ideas and I will endeavour to fix. Cheers and happy map painting!

With the new 1.37 update this mod should still work, but will currently display the wrong ideas for the changed nations. Please allow time for me to update the mod, thank you for your consideration.

@Gloint Thanks for testing. I'll look into it and get back to you.

I tried, after getting launcher to recognize the "new" mod, it does nothing in game

You can test it quite easily in a normal game with the console using the command "event ideagroups.1" if you have started as a nation which is formable.

@Gloint Yeah sorry, the mod works by changing the localisation file to display additional text during the event "event ideagroups.1" . Since this mod currently only supports English, that will be the reason it doesn't work for you. If you want it to work in your language AND you don't mind the text being in English for the event copy the mod to your local mod folder in ...\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\mod. Then adjust the name of the YAML file (.yml) to be the language of your choice. For example if you wanted it in German then the file names would be SNI_I_german.yml in both the localisation folder and inside the replace folder. Let me know if you try this and it works!

The mod does not seem to work for me. Do I need to do something more than install it via steam? Or is it because I don't play the game in english?

yes I'm already doing like that :D I just wondered if there was any easier way to see that but apparently there is not. thank you

@Bomonti As a followup, I'm not sure its possible to track your previous TAG (this mod tracks TAG switches, as when you get the new event you have already changed your TAG), so displaying your currrent ideas (from the previous TAG) in the event with the new ones would not be possible. Potentially if it were not ironman. But that is not the purpose of this mod, as non-ironman games tend to be better with additional mods that may affect national ideas

@Nice Creeper

@Bomonti You can move the event window so that you can see the new ideas (the ones I added to the event) and your current ones found in the ideas side bar. You only get the new ideas when you click the button in the event. This is the purpose of the mod, so that you can compare easily, without searching on the wiki. Thanks for the question

wow you are qikke to update god dam :D

Is it possible to show both your ideas and the new ideas at the same text to make comparisons?

Updated to 1.36, Byzantium Update!

1.36 Update Planned this weekend

@blank The icons are the all from the game files except the ambition icon which is a combination I made. But feel free to use it! A script is cool, I had that as a future idea and tried to smash one together but it gives me a few errors with ideas. How did you go about it? It's a pain if they change lots of ideas when I new update drops, but that means fresh content!

Thanks, you mind if I borrow the idea icons? Also, i'm using script to generate this if you're interested

@blank Feel free to use this mod to help you make other mods for EU4. As long as you link back to here.

Hey, do you mind if I make similar thing for mods?

Please note that adding specific icons to each formable nation idea would take along time... This may be something I work on the side. Let me know if you would like me to!

Updated Mod with custom Icons! Hope you guys enjoy. Let me know any feedback

After looking at the changes in 1.35.2 patch notes the only change that would affect this mod is the change to Siamese Ideas. However this change was not pushed in the update, so I will wait until there is.

@YA_OAO Yes please go ahead, just remember to add a link to this mod. Good luck

Hi, can I translate and publish this mod in Traditional Chinese?

@Captain Helmet As described in the mod description this mod only shows national ideas for the vanilla formable nation's. Meaning if you use mods that add nations or modpacks this mod will not show anything for those modded nations, and the default idea event fill show (no idea text). Adding mod support would make this unreasonably time consuming to keep updated.

Does it compatible with mods?

@xxDeziQxx It will work on 1.34, but the ideas for the updated nations will display 1.35 national ideas. Meaning if you form the Siam you will see the new ideas in the event, but will get the 1.34 ideas since this mod is only visual event text.

Hey just a quick question, is this mod compatibile with 1.34 ?

@Melvasul Unfortunately it won't display modded ideas (due to this mod being written using localisation overwrites), as mentioned in the description this mod will only show vanilla ideas. However it is compatible with other mods as this mod only adds localisation to the ideagroups.1 event which is triggered upon forming a new nation. Its currently not possible for me to know what mods the user has installed, so I can't add compatibility with mods that change national ideas. Hope that makes sense.

So it will work with any mod that add additional country ideas? even if there are variation/iteration of them? [like vanilla PLC ideas] :D

@GravySlug Cheers!

How is this not in the base game yet?? Thank you for your work

The mod is now updated to 1.35, please let me know if you find any bugs or incorrect ideas. Happy painting!

I will be updating this mod to 1.35 when it is released, thank you for your patience.

@Salty alright sounds good, so long as the method I know works then i'm good.

@Code if you want to stay on 1.34.2 then it would be easier for you to keep mods locally. It's quite easy, and that way you know you will be fine. Considering the majority of people will be moving to 1.35 this mod will update to use the new national ideas, so it would still work on 1.34 but the text would be wrong for you for the updated nations

@Salty Ok Great, I'm going to be playing only 1.34.2, so going to download this mod on my pc to use for 1.34.2 always. If you could keep it backwards that'd be great, if not I should be able to just manually add the mod to the eu4 launcher and it'll work forever, correct?

another MUST HAVE mod, especially since it works iron man. No more alt tabbing to check the stats on google. great job :D

@Code Yes it should work on all patches, as the mod only needs updating if changes are made to the national ideas of nations. This is because the mod uses localisation files to replace text of the New Traditions and Ambitions (new national idea event) depending on the nation you are playing, this displays the national ideas that you should receive (as long as the files ideas are manually upto date, if they aren't then it will just display the old ideas)

it work with all patches of 1.34? I play 1.34.2

I was also trying to fix and reupload with his permission, glad that you did that

i wondered where that went

thank you this is suthe a qulity of life mod :D. also does eni one know why the orignal was put down?

and sorry for english as i am disleksik

@NoLuckyy Yeah, it's so simple yet I'm still left wondering why this hasn't been properly implemented into the base game. Maybe the next Dev-update about modding might help make some more mods Ironman compatible

Thanks for reupload, one of the best ironman compatible mods
