Anyone else having a problem where nations will just stop doing their focus trees and start doing continuous focuses?
I'm at about 2008 in my game, and at this point Italy, Germany, France, and Japan have all just quit doing their focus trees, curiously enough without doing any ideological decisions. They all have the entirety of their focus tree out, plus the first ideology decision that just gives political power, but now they've all just stopped. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or some weird behaviour where the AI will absolutely refuse to do anything other than take an aggressive focus tree. It just seems like an odd behaviour for a mod where it's already quite hard to get world tension to rise.

What other mods do you have enabled?

Just player-led peace conferences and pure random AI focuses. I thought at first it might be an issue with the later one since it's the most directly related to the issue, but the fact that it's specifically happening once the AI has exhausted all options but the ideological ones (Nations with generic focus trees didn't do this) seems to indicate that this isn't random. On top of that, Iceland, Switzerland, and the Nordics all did their focus trees and didn't switch over to continuous focuses until they ran out of branches to go down. I can't even strictly chalk it up to the AI obsessively trying to avoid maluses of any sort, since it's even ignoring the options that would just give political power.

@Spartan448, Link me to purely random AI focuses.

@Spartan448, That very well may be causing the problem. Try playing without that.
