If you are using a total conversion mod, chances are that this mod will not work with it 100% properly. Because of time constraints, I will only be supporting compatible versions of Improved Genetics with CK2+ and HIP. However, making the mod compatible for most other mods is extremely quick and easy.

This SIMPLE guide will only work for vanilla traits. If your mod adds more traits, then those traits will be inherited using the vanilla system of inheritance. If you want to the improved genetics inheritance system to work on the new traits your mod adds, use the ADVANCED guide (when I finish it xD)

Step 1: Download the dropbox version of this mod and unzip it to documents/paradoxinteractive/mod

Step 2: Go to the yourmod/common/traits folder and copy 00_traits.txt and paste it to improvedgenetics/common/traits folder. Overwrite the existing 00_traits.txt file there. Open the file. Navigate to the congenital traits and reduce x in inherit_chance = x to 1. Then decrease the birth = x by a factor of 3-4 (your choice. It doesn’t make a big difference.)

Step 3: Go back to the paradox/mod folder and find the improved_genetics.mod file (make sure you use the dropbox version and not the subscribed version, rename it if you have to). Open it with notepad. Paste the following there:

Dependencies = { yourmodnamehere }

To know your mod name, you should open the .mod file of that mod and check the name = x part. You must use that name EXACTLY.

And congratulations, that is all you need to do!
