ReMeDy's Beauty Traits Lipstick Reducer ver 1.3

Either click Subscribe, *or* directly download the mod from my link below!

DIRECT DL. In case you prefer an offline version of the same mod:
VER 1.3 (For CK3 1.3.1+)[www.dropbox.com]

Reduces lipstick on women with the beauty-trait for a more natural-look, and removes lipstick on handsome-traited men. For men, CK3's Handsome traits gave lipstick to *all* men throughout the world. Without any context guiding Paradox's decision to do this, I'm assuming it's a bug, so I've emulated how Paradox did it in CK2 where none of the men had lipstick.

Women: Reduces Beauty cosmetics by 80%.
Men: Reduces Beauty cosmetics by 100%.

If you'd like to adjust the amounts, you can consult my file inside my mod's gfx folder.

-------------------
SUGGESTED LOAD ORDER:
(For my mod, I don't think it matters, but just to be safe)

-------------------
ISSUES / CONCERNS:
Ethnicities and Portraits Expanded Mod (EPE) dramatically increases the boldness of lipstick. For now, do not use it. I'll try to have a fix for it later, or at least a guide showing what files you can delete from EPE to make it co-exist with this mod.

The reduced lipstick may not work in the Ruler Designer; however, once you're loaded onto the world map, it will take affect.

Paradox has designed the Beauty/Handsome trait cosmetic to only work on characters age 18+. Characters age 16-17 (including children) see no cosmetic benefits from the Beauty trait anyways.

Some characters can still have naturally bright red lips without a Beauty trait if their DNA has assigned it to them. This is working as intended; my mod merely tones down the lipstick assigned to everyone via the beauty trait. It's not meant to target characters who were born with natural red lips.

-------------------
CHANGE LOG:
ver 1.3 (yup, still works as of 10/10/24):
- Updated to CK3 1.3.1 just in case.
- Added new example screenshot to gallery.

ver 1.2:
- Paradox changed the folder structure, so it broke my mod. My gfx file is now located in the trait_portrait_modifiers folder, with revised code.
- (Optional) Revised readme instructions for those who want to use my female character.

ver 1.1:
- Removes Beauty trait cosmetics on men by 100%. It's unclear if Paradox thinks that was working as intended.
- (Optional) Expanded upon readme instructions on how to edit save files for portrait editing.

ver 1.0:
- Initial launch.

MOST of these beauty modifying mods should pretty much work perpetually, so it's a matter of playing with load orders to get the right combo.

If you're curious how these mods work, get irony mod manager (easiest way IMO), right click the mod, go to the folder. Then just go look at the change in the file to the base game. Ideally you use something like notepad++ with a compare tool. Compare the file from the mod, to the base game file. If everything is the same EXCEPT for the change for the mod, then it's still compatible. If there are changes elsewhere, the fix is easy. Merge the changes from the mod into the new file and then replace the modded files version (make sure you make a backup of the version you use).

I, for example, have a merged patch of about 3 different beauty trait mods that remove the morph changes and tone down all the makeup and stuff. I made it in 2022. I haven't played since 2022. I just loaded up a game with only that mod, and it worked fine.

@smirkyshadow I don't see why it wouldn't, this particular code is exactly the same in the game.

Does this still work?

@Wolf I still use my mod as-is and haven't seen a need to update it, unless there's an issue I'm not aware of. It basically just adds custom files that modify the code associated with the Beauty trait. I recommend putting this mod under any other beauty mods. I tested it just now on its own to confirm and it still works.

@ Firsken Yea, I guess it was intended after all, lol.

@ MT I know it's been 2 years since your msg (lol), but I may as well clarify to say since CK3 patch 1.9 mods no longer disable achievements; however, certain game rules can still disable them, including playing multiplayer or having a custom ruler over 400 Customization Points.
