CK3 Building Merger
Overview
Modding Crusader Kings 3 (CK3) often involves adding new buildings and holdings to enhance gameplay. However, when multiple mods add their own building slots or holding types, conflicts can arise. CK3 mods frequently modify the same game files, such as county data, leading to issues like buildings or holdings from one mod not appearing when used alongside others. This problem can cause instability, graphical glitches, or missing content, significantly affecting your gameplay experience.
The CK3 Building Merger tool solves this by merging building-related data across mods, ensuring they work seamlessly together. It intelligently combines changes from multiple mods into a unified version, preventing conflicts and allowing you to enjoy all the added content without missing features.
