Modding can change the gaming experience for players and help make sure the game does not go stale after the player puts in enough hours. Given the content of Crusader Kings 3, it is possible and even likely that players will see many more mods dealing with history, fictional empires, and the politics and bloodlines in Game of Thrones among others. Here are some of the best mods currently available for Crusader Kings 3.
Best Mods for Crusader Kings 3
The best mods currently available in the game tend to improve the experience by adding or changing cosmetics like accessories, music, and hairstyles, or changing some aspect of gameplay, like introducing vampires or changing the map to reflect the Bronze Age. Most mods are available through Steam Workshops. Here are five of the best mods so far.
Princes of Darkness
The in the same style as Vampire: The Masquerade. The player character is immortal, progresses at new lifestyles slowly, and may use the revamped religion system in the mod to set vampiric ritual.
The Bronze Age: Maryannu v1.5
If players have ever wanted to experience the Bronze Age, this mod gives them the chance to do so. The Bronze Age: Maryannu v1.5 mod by Svanley brings the Minoans, Mycenaeans, Egyptians, and other big-name Bronze-Age empires to Crusader Kings 3 and adds new religious tenets, innovations, and possibilities. This mod is still being updated and will eventually include new clothing, armor, mechanics, and innovations to fit the time period.
Character Physical Modify
If players are not entirely satisfied with their character’s appearance, they can use the Character Physical Modify mod by BlackShip to allow them to change their character’s appearance at any time. This mod allows the player to change any character’s bust, height, body type, and body shape, hair, skin, and eye color, and body hair.
More Traits
As in most games, players likely want their characters in Crusader Kings 3 to feel fleshed-out and alive. To do this, they may need more traits. The More Traits mod by Ketaros adds new leveled traits for professions like blacksmithing and cooking and new personality traits to improve character reactions to events. The mod also comes with new Commander traits.
Very Immersive Events and Tales
If the regular day-to-day drain of ruling is not enough to keep a player occupied, they may wish to install the Very Immersive Events and Tales mod by Cybrxkhan. This mod adds a larger collection of events related to the everyday struggle of ruling a kingdom to immerse the player in activity and add new experiences and challenges. This mod is a sequel to a mod of the same name for Crusader Kings 2.
