I love that you have done well to fix this up, @Gold-Throat! I enjoy this vastly since discovering Stellaris not too long ago, I actually included this in a bit of a customized mod I am actively trying to keep updated for all Draconic Empire loving players!

Working on a few little compatibility things but it now also includes "Become the Dragon" within it.

Perhaps this dragon mod may be a good substitute as I cannot promise this mod will ever be updated.

I'm afraid I haven't played Stellaris in a long time now and am currently dedicated to making mods for Oblivion Remastered, perhaps now that 4.0 is out I'll later learn how they structure everything and make it anew if anyone else has not done so already.

4.0 Update pls

Alright, after some 'research' it seems the mod Space Dragons - Normal Version is responsible for not showing up your updaded dragons. Somehow these two mods are conflicting with each other (idk if it helps, but maybe they overwrite each other)

Very well then, I'll check out which one is causing such a problem. Thank you again for your help :)

I have never had this instance occur, but I also play with far less mods. Generally the more mods you play with the higher risk of problems occurring due to mods either getting outdated or conflicting with each other in some way.

OR (speaking if CTD) have you tried to play for a long time in game? I mean from basic starting year and playing for 5-10 years? because in this time interval I get CTD

Maybe the issue is that not the mods order, but rather the mods itself (I don't remember exactly, but the game had an annoying thing where you had to uninstall every single mod in order to run properly without CTD. I'll try to do just that).

Well, I gave a crack at it. I downloaded every mod you listed as well as put it in the exact load order you have posted your mods in and the dragon mod still works for me. I am at a loss on what problem you are having at this point. In the end my dragon mod works but something on your end is messing with the mod.

I did what you asked and the dragons are there, along with the civics (one/or some of the mods must override it in this case)

And well, thank you for wanting to help me. I haven't played for a long time, and I see that Stellaris, being Stellaris, released a million patches for who knows why and it's hard for me to figure out what works and what doesn't.

Okay

Well that is quite a lot of mods, I will look through them. In the mean time can you try the mod with only the dragon mod and the dependency enabled?

!!!Universal Modifier Patch (3.12)

I haven't had any issues on mod placement but you can try putting the mod at the bottom to try and override any changes that another mod may be trying to make. What mods are you running? I can try to find what mod may be causing an issue but this mod with the required universal modifier patch only enabled runs just fine in my game. I'm not a professional mod maker, I just simply loved the dragon mod and was sad when it broke so I decided to make a fix.

Yes. Before I downloaded your updated version, the older one (before I unsubscribed) had usable dragon civics (both normal and boosted versions) but the portrait was also not visible. Will the order of the modification items matter or not?

Are you running any other mods along with it? I just disabled all my mods but the dragon one and everything still works.

The dragons doesn't show up in creating empire menu, alongside with civics and the other stuff.
