So there's this mod I really want to play with called "Only Unique Hybrid Cultures". It removes that god awful hyphenated culture bloat that breaks immersion and is IMHO horrid to look at WITHOUT entirely removing the ability for the AI to create hybrid cultures, instead only allowing, well, "Unique" Hybrid cultures, like "Alsation" or "Angevin" to be formed by the AI.

Honestly, this should be a game rule in the base game if you ask me, but leave it to modders to do what Paradon't.

Well, the mod hasn't been updated since 2023, and doesn't work with the current CK3 version.

I've been trying to update the mod, and for a brief moment I had it working, but now it's broken again.


Tonight I decided to see if I could re-fix it, so I used CK3Tiger to try and figure out what was broken, and I got these errors:

warning(encoding): file must start with a UTF-8 BOM

First off, I figured localization wasn't an issue for me since I only play in English, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Secondly, I'm not sure what "warning(strict-scopes)" means, and the encoding warning seems really odd, since I manually saved the file as UTF-8 BOM, but maybe that wasn't good enough?

Any and all help is much appreciated. I really want to play with this mod, and if I get it working I'll probably upload it, unless the original dev objects.

Or if someone with actual CK3 modding experience wants to have a go at it that would also be very cash money.
