(Copypasting this across most of my mods)

Once again, giving a heads up that a 1.10 update will take a while, if needed.

Anyone who's checked my Steam profile in the past month will probably know that I got hit by the Umamusume train and have been playing it almost nonstop since June, so apologies for any past and future delays since I'm probably going to keep playing it 😅

FYI: I keep an mod update tracker on Discord, and since 1.9, I started keeping a copy of it in the description of my Vic3 mods collection . If you're not on the Vic3 Mod Co-op Discord, then you can view the update status there instead so you know which mods are currently being worked on and which ones are slated for an update.

I hope the reform is less difficult. Even in 1930, the game ends in the Gwangmu Reform

Before that, I ate Manchuria and conquered Japan. I hope the reform will be completed sooner

Ah… it’s finally been updated. I should let my friends who’ve been waiting know. At last, it’s time to reinstall Victoria 3. Thank you so much to the developers. The long wait makes this moment even sweeter.



아.. 드디어 업데이트 되었다.. 기다린 친구들한테 알려줘야겠네요. 드디어 빅토리아3를 다시 깔때가 되었네요. 제작자님 감사합니다. 너무 오래 기다려서 더 기쁘네요.

The Dreams of Independence journal used to force a lobby opportunity to happen with a relevant Great Power to facilitate finishing the journal.

In 1.9, the impact of lobby opportunities was greatly reduced, so it was impossible for, as an example, Joseon to sign a defensive pact treaty with Russia because the smaller bonus from the lobby opportunity wasn't enough to overcome the maluses Joseon had due to being an unattractive ally for Russia.

This has been replaced by a new event that gives you the option to create a new treaty with a Great Power where they support your independence in exchange for one of a few different concessions (money, power bloc embassy, or investment rights).

Other than that, there are no new events. It was primarily an update to make the mod work with 1.9 and a lot of smaller tweaks.

Are there any new events in this mode?

Thank you for the update! I missed you

The mod is now updated for Vic3 1.9+! Sorry for the long delay again, and thanks for your patience.

There is a long list of miscellaneous changes & improvements that accompanied this update. Check the change log if you are interested in seeing what has been tweaked.

Please let me know if you find any problems!

Ok everything's sorted out now - update within the next hour or two for reals

I ran into some mistranslations. More specifically, there's a few words that were accidentally untranslated since they appear embedded within some inline localization code.

If anyone Hangul-literate wants to fix them, here's a filter for the offending strings:

Update should be out within the next hour or two, hopefully!

Currently doing technical checks for the latest Korean translations (big thanks to dedeper and Islamic for their work for this patch) to make sure no localization code has errors.

Update will be out some time this week, I think

Work has been slow while I wrestle with my bad procrastination habits, but at this point I just need to wait on some final localization updates. I want to slip in a handful of extra tweaks that I've been meaning to make, too, to try to make up for the long delay.

먼가 심각한 버그 때문에 시간이 오래 걸리나 보군요. ㅜㅜ 이 모드가 없으면 빅토리아를 할 의미가 없으니.. 천천히 기다리겠습니다. 힘내세요! 더운데 건강 조심하세요!

I actually figured it out a while after posting that comment lol

First rule of debugging anything is complain about it online...

This one seemed to be related to some edge case that could happen if the Donghak Peasant Rebellion ended at a specific point in the week. It'd trip up the logic meant to track who actually committed armies to the rebellion war since the journal wouldn't close before the next week tick in some situations.

perhaps you have figured it out by now but i know the BPM folks were struggling with but solved a similar issue proccing wars in 1.9, it seems a lot of the under the hood syntax has been altered

Okay this is taking longer than I expected since I found a bug with the code that is supposed to start the Sino-Japanese War and I am still struggling to understand what's going wrong 😔

Soon, hopefully

Got sidetracked with something else the past couple of weeks & I'm having to rework some of the existing contents to work with the treaties in a nicer fashion.

업데이트 언제 되나요 ㅜㅜ 이모드 없으면 빅토리아3 할수가 없습니다.

When is the update coming? ㅜㅜ I can’t play Victoria 3 without this mod.

looking forward to this update!

im deleting the wood from your eastern mali

update plz????????

I will say specifically for KFP that I will try to prioritize it this time around since last time the 1.8 update did not come out for several months, and combined with the increased visibility after OPB's video, I think this deserves better treatment this time.

Like with the 1.8 update, there will be no new major content updates - it will be focused on compatibility. Any new content will be for the sake of accommodating any fundamental base game changes, such as with the new Sedo Aristocracy interest group.

(Copypasting this across some of my mods)

Vic3 1.9 will release this coming Tuesday. As with previous major updates, a 1.9 update for this mod may take several weeks or months because I am a solo developer with a full-time job working 10+ hours Monday through Thursday. Progress during the work week will be rather slow, and I have over two dozen mods to check & verify whether anything needs to be changed, and then make any necessary changes.

The upcoming tweaks to certain things like decisions and scripted buttons will mean that more of my mods will be impacted this time around, so it may take quite some time.

Please be patient while I work on updating all of my mods. Thank you!

Very nice.

nevermind, i figured out how to improve the sol, great mod 10/10

you could fix the excesive poor sol, doesn´t even makes sense, is just annoying lose 30k pops monthly because of nothing.

Might be the single best mod for V3.

캬.. 진짜 갈수록 진짜 역사 같아지네요.. 진정한 명예 한국인이며 애국자이십니다.. 그만큼 독립은 더 어려워 지네요. ㅋㅋ

“Damn... it's really starting to feel more and more like history itself. You are truly an honorary Korean and a patriot. That just shows how much harder independence has become. LOL”

very cool to see this mod updated !

Halelujah!!!

thanks for your effort..!

You are the BEST James! Thanks so much.

For anyone curious: the new IG was added due to technical changes related to ideologies and movements that were added in 1.8.

Originally, there was some ideology-related smoke & mirrors happening to facilitate the Sedo Politics content, particularly to stop the Yangban Officials from supporting a move off of Sedo Aristocracy and onto Autocracy.

With political movements (especially the Absolutist movement) now messing with how new character ideologies appear for IGs, I figured the most mod-compatible and future-proof way to portray this now was with a completely custom interest group that nobody else would be messing with.

Change notes have been posted.

This update was primarily for 1.8 functionality, so there's no new (major) content... other than a new Sedo Aristocrats interest group that will be present in Korea at the start of the game until the Sedo Politics journal is resolved. The Sedo Politics JE now focuses on dis-empowering this new IG as opposed to the Yangban Officials.

Please let me know if you find any issues or if you have any comments! I will get started on the next major content update some time in the near future.

The mod has been updated for 1.8! Sorry for the huge delay and thank you for your patience.

The changelog is a bit log but I will try to have it published in the change notes section soon.

The ParaTranz project has been updated with upcoming new text. If anyone fluent in English and Korean would like to contribute, I would be very grateful

For anyone interested, a beta version of the 1.8 update is available for download in the KFP thread in the Modding Co-op Discord!

The Korean translation is a crowd-sourced effort. If you would like to contribute, please feel free to visit the ParaTranz project and suggest changes!

This is my favorite mod for Victoria 3.
Honestly, it's not an exaggeration to say that this mod is the reason I even installed and play the game.
Although it's a bit disappointing that the Korean translation isn't perfect, I deeply appreciate the creator’s effort and dedication in accurately portraying Korean history from abroad.
Thanks to this mod, I think I’ll keep playing Victoria 3 for a long time.
I'm really looking forward to what you’ll do next. Please keep up the amazing work!

Thank you for the work you are doing to update this mod!

Just a heads up to everyone as I start diving into updating KFP:

The 1.8 update will likely require having the Community Mod Framework installed due to conflicting changes related to ideologies and movements that I'm forced to make.

I may try to make an effort to include the relevant files with KFP so an extra download is not needed, but I do not know how complicated that will be at the moment, so don't be surprised if KFP suddenly requires having CMF installed when the update is out.

A masterpiece. Really enjoyed playing this mod, thanks 1230 james!

Thank you, and have fun!

KFP is now the last major mod of mine that still needs a 1.8 update, which means I should soon be able to devote my attention on updating it.

I don't think there are any major content conflicts like SoI had, so the technical compatibility update should be relatively quick & straightforward. Beware that it still may take me a couple of weeks depending on my motivation/focus and my work schedule.

The next content update will take much longer, so please do not get too disappointed!

I would like to reiterate that you can come join the Vic3 Modding Co-op Discord [discord.com]. Get yourself verified, then visit the KFP thread [discord.com] to see the latest development progress.

Thank you for your continued patience! 🙇‍♂️

Sorry again for the delays 🙇‍♂️

As you may have noticed, I maintain a lot of different mods. Some game updates touch more things than one might think, so there tends to end up being more rework needed than you might expect 😅 I'm currently working on updating LLWA (my infrastructure mod) and it's been taking a while due to needing to address some core logic issues after 1.8 arrived...

KFP is probably be worked on towards the end of the list since (A) extra time is probably needed to do a sweep for outdated things since this mod does a lot of things, and (B) the other major mods I have will [probably] take less time to update, so it'd be better to focus on those first, I think.

I'm active in both the official Vic3 and the Vic3 Modding Co-op Discord servers so if you ever have any questions or are curious about what I'm working on, feel free to come find me!

Since this mod hasn't updated since 2025, I'm not turning on Vic3... I know I can't rush you because you're not even in a pay position... but still please!

Well it's not like we are paying for your wages :)) I will forgive you this time.

Sorry for the delays btw 😅

Decided to take an impromptu break over the holidays, but I'm hoping to get back into modding again soon. Still have a bunch of stuff I need to work through.

Thank you.

Should be at least somewhat broken since they changed how ideologies are defined somewhat in 1.8.

Not sure what else needs fixing since I've not done a manual check of what's wrong yet.

Anyone tested this on 1.8?
