Do you mind if I make this mod better?
Hey buddy, sorry for my pool English, but I really love this event in CK2, so I partly rewrite the event chain with the new feature: story cycle in CK3, so that the story can be passed between generations now!

Link: Jeanne d'Arc [drive.google.com]

New Features:

1.Adjust the prerequisites for almost all events: your player must be an adult and a available one (not an incapable one, not in other activities), and are not commanding an army in a war to trigger the events. Also, in the whole storyline Jeanne must be your courtier.

2.Now the whole storyline can be passed between generataions. If your player had died and he had a heir, events would still keep going on.
But please note that your player’s heir must meet the prerequisites as well: an adult and a available one, not commanding an army in a war, or the event chain would still be broken.

3.Jeanne will now equip her sword after she finds it!
3.1 Jeanne's sword now has a specific prowess boost instead of a random one:
3.1.1 The Real Jeanne's sword: prowess +15, monthly piety +0.5~0.6,public opinion +10, and now it has a unique artifact frame!
3.1.2 The sword in other cultures: prowess +10, monthly piety +0.5~0.6,public opinion +10
Note that you'd better not give Jeanne an illustrious weapon gift, or her sword will be replaced due to the game system!

4.Jeanne's Voice of Jesus modifier now gives her a +10 martial skill boost and a +30% martial lifestyle exp boost, because in my memory Jeanns's martial skill is about 35 in CK2. And she is no longer a Brilliant Strategist (now a Skilled Tactician), because I think that's not her image...

5.Now Jeanne always has Jeanne's hair style, regardless of her culture!
Note that this feature conflicts with other mods that modify \gfx\portraits\portrait_modifiers\01_hairstyles.txt. You can just delete \gfx\portraits\portrait_modifiers\02_jeanne_hairstyles.txt in the mod folder to avoid the conflict.

6.Now Jeanne will have one good congenital trait initially. This congenital trait will be: Comely, Pretty, Beautiful, Quick, Intelligent, Hale, Robust, Strong, or Giant.
6.1 In addition, if your culture has a tradition that can make someone a Shieldmaiden, Jeanne will be a Shieldmaiden instead of having a special marshal flag.

7.In the "Jeanne meets her liege in the night" event, there will be a stress impact just like in other events in CK3, as you take actions that do not fit your character's personality.
7.1 Opinion factor will now affect when you seduce Jeanne, except you have chosen the "no chastity belt" option in game rules.

8.Fix a conflicting narration in Jeanne's marriage event from the CK2 original one, that even your player is the one who marries Jeanne, in this event you the King will raise your cup for yourself's wedding.

9.Jeanne will have a monthly 5% chance to go for a pilgrimage in the whole story cycle, and get the trait and the special modifiers given by core tenets.

10.Even if the event chain had been broken, as long as Jeanne was still alive, the last event (with time passed...etc.) would still be triggered after 10 years passed.

11.Even if you had seduced Jeanne, or married her, after she became single again (typically that you imprison her in the story and then release her), she would regain the celibate trait.

12.I'm sorry that I change Jeanne's dynasty name from "Ancilla" to "Puella", for "Ancilla" means female house slaves in Ancient Rome...it's another meaning of "maid" I think.
12.1 I also restore the dynasty name "Gladius Christi" in CK2.
12.2 If Jeanne is the "Real Jeanne", and a "maid", her dynasty name will be "d'Arc", and her nickname will be "the Maid". If not a virgin, her nickname will be "the Sword of God".
12.3 If Jeanne is not French, and a virgin, her dynasty name will be "Puella", and her nickname will be "the Maid". If not a virgin, her dynasty name will be "Gladius Christi", and her nickname will be "the Sword of God".
12.4 If you don't choose to knight her and she is not a virgin, her nickname will be "the Bold".
12.5 If you choose to knight Jeanne, now she will get a Gallant trait!

13.If you choose to arrest Jeanne, relationships between you and Jeanne will be broken: lovers, marriage and concubinage.

14.Add a narrator in some events to make them more natural. The narrator will be in order that your chancellor, your spymaster, your marshal, other councillors and your powerful vassals, if any of them is available.

15.Add some toast messages in some events —— when Jeanne finished a pilgrimage, founded a new house, was arrested and was aquitted.

16.Adjust the probability of event occurrence. I weaken the time factors.
Now there are strong bonuses when your player is the primary defender in a war and at a disadvantage (defend score < 0), and this war has last more than 2 years (+10%), 5 years (+20%) and 10 years (+30%). For I just want to recreate the historical situation...
Anyway with the decision in game, I doubt there are so many people who will just wait for the event to happen...

17.Add three options in debug menu to add and remove the three special councillor flags (just to stop the annoying warning messages).

18.And something that I can no longer remember...

If you guy don't like my work and think it violates your rights, please tell me. I shall delete it, for my work is based on yours, buddy!

To mod users: better to restart a new game, as dynasty names are generated at the game start.

I barely play CK3 anymore, let alone mod it, you're free to improve and change what you see fit. May as well upload your own version

I solved it. Because there is no .mod file in the download, I created a new mod via the Paradox launcher and put the contents in the new folder. It works perfectly, thank you very much
