Art Replacement Mod

**IRONMAN COMPATIBLE**

IMPORTANT!!!
--6 Dec 18 - I realise from your comments that I added a line to the .mod file that I shouldn't have, which causes the mod to create its own directory for save files. The files are totally fine and still Ironman compatible, just navigate to

"C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\Art Replacement\save games"
and copy your save files over to the correct location at
"C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\save games"

The mod is now fixed so any new save files will be in the correct location. Sorry for the stuff up, I hope you all continue to use and enjoy the mod!


--30 Nov 18 - Updated to replace extra loading screen added by Holy Fury, plus added 5 extras so future expansions will be covered for a while.--

Replaces the loading screens with a old master paintings. I made this for myself as I didn't like to original loading screens, thought other people might like to use it too. It also changes the images on the 'select era' window of the new game menu.


There is also a replacement for the background of the launcher (the window that pops up when you click 'play' in Steam), but you need to manually copy it over because it's outside of the mods control.

Just copy the 'launcher' folder out of
"C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod\Art_Replacement.zip"
into your "steamapps\common\Crusader Kings 2" directory.

To go back to the original launcher art, just tell Steam to repair the game, and it will put the original art back. Likewise, after each patch, Steam will repair the game anyway, and you will have to re-install your art.

The first load screen will always be the same, that's just how the game works.
