It would mean a lot if you updated it. It's saved me hours when starting a new game.

As far as updating this mod, I'll see what's the best thing to do. I made this primarily for myself, and I'm not familiar enough with how other people used it to know what usage holes I still have to fill.

You can still load ideologies at the starting ideology screen in vanilla with dev mode on. Select "Custom Ideology (Fixed)", select each faction's ideology, load a different target ideology on top, then back out a level and load/create your player faction ideology.

This Mod allowed you to load them during the STARTING Faction selection screen. The Faction Control lets you do it mid-game. That's why I hope it comes back. I really need both.

Best successor mod to this is Faction Customizer, which does allow loading ideos mid-game. I'm not sure what I want to do with this right now.

I am experiencing the same problem as Jmbc there. The button does not exist in the starting Ideology screen, even with Development Mode enabled.

As a person whose Faction amounts caused over six hours to set them, this Mod was a God send. I used it to load certain Factions and save a butt ton of time.

this mod isn't completely obsolete, bescause in vanilla you can't load a ideology during the game.

How can I activate the load buton in vanilla? I have the dev mode activated but the buton doesn't appear

update?

For me the only bugs were errors related to the missing mods. But I used dev mode to change the ideoligion to not use content from the missing mods and the errors went away. Would love any updates but take your time!

It is, as far as I can tell, pretty bugged.

That said, I see the ongoing utility in this, so I'm going to try and update it to the new version at some point.

This is definitely not obsolete! I urge you to at least edit the workshop page and change the title and description!

I used it to bring an ideology from an old save into a new game as an NPC ideoligion. I'm happy to report that even though the ideoligion was built with different mods installed, I was still able to get it imported and it works just fine!

I appreciate this mod so much, thank you for making it :3 I would also like to say it's not totally obsolete! If you're already in-game and for whatever reason you forgot to load another faction's ideo or want to switch it to a different saved ideo, the vanilla load button doesn't show up even with dev mode on, but your mod's load button does just fine

holy shit... this mod is god tier

spend like three hours save-editing my ideos mid-game when this mod does it for me in like 10 seconds

cheers mate

dam, i can load setting in min game
THIS MOD IS NECESSARY
MUST HAVE

It's the reason i am still using it :)

@Scorpio Ooh, good point. I should see if I can retool the mod to address that specifically.

Not completely obsolete has it works using dev mode edit witch the game itself only has on save creation :)

This mod is now outdated - its functionality has been bundled into 1.3.3117.

@ [author]
I was just reading the patch notes for Update 1.3.3117 that was released to the Unstable branch yesterday. And, among the many changes, I noticed this under the "New Stuff" heading:

"- While starting a game with fluid ideoligions, you can now customize and load NPC faction ideoligions."

To be clear, I have yet to try this mod or the 1.3.3117 Unstable update. However, I have to wonder: Does that update make this mod a little bit redundant or obsolete? Then again, the patch notes suggest this is limited to "fluid ideoligions", which I'm not 100% clear on. So, maybe I'm way off base.

thank yuou so much i have wanted this for so long you are a god

You've saved me much clickery cheers.

@TurtleShroom: I've been looking into it. I could probably make some kind of hacky buttons to accomplish this, but it'd probably be more robust and user-friendly to try and code up a window for faction-ideology management.

@eides72: Yes, you can make multiple copies of the exact same ideo.

Is it possible to duplicate an ideology into multiple factions? The other mod like this prevents you from doing so

There's only one thing left: there needs to be a way to remove Factions from a given Ideology and put them in another.

Any thing that lets us take more control/customize the ideology experience is welcome, so good luck if you tackle it. I'm just glad mods like this exist for now.

Funny you should mention that, Lorgara! I actually started looking into what I would need to do to turn this into a fully-functional ideo editor. Unfortunately, I can't think of a good way to do a full-fledged manager that wouldn't require either creating an entirely new screen (something I probably could do, but is beyond me), or heavily editing the entire menu.

I could probably at least add another pair of buttons - "multiple factions use this ideoligion, give each faction their own" and "collapse this ideoligion's faction into this other ideoligion" - but that's a bigger undertaking.

Yeah, this, coupled with character editor allows me to have saved ideos for a multi-ideo run, so thanks for that. Now all we need is a mod to create ideos not attached to a faction so we don't necessarily need to use the npc slots, but this is the next best thing. Again, thanks.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I HAVE WANTED THIS.
