CK3 Human Phenotype Project

Github access | Discord group | Compatibility patches

The CK3 Human Phenotype Project is a mod aimed at making the appearences of characters more realistic and diverse by replicating various phenotypes found on the website humanphenotypes.net and assigning them to in-game cultures. This mod also ensures that hairstyles and beards are set by culture rather than ethnicity. A whopping 77 ethnicities have been added into the game, making character more varied and diverse in appearances, with people looking like their  supposed geographic origins.

If you love physical anthropology, or just want characters to have more regionally varied looks, this is the mod for you!

FAQ:
Is this mod save-game compatible?
Absolutely not. This mod edits ethnicities, which the game uses to randomly generate the looks/DNA of characters (historical and new alike). Once the character was generated - or has scripted appearance - this mod will not modify them. For this mod to truly have effect, you need to start a new game, otherwise it will only affect newly generated characters.
 

Can I use your mod as part of my mod?
Yes. You don't even need to ask. Just do it. Sure, crediting would be nice, but otherwise, feel free to.
 

Many of the characters within a region look samey / Many characters look like caricatures / Some traits seem exaggerated
Yes. This mod is still a work in progress, and there is much to be refined. Stay tuned for more updates  :P Or better yet - contribute to the progress :P
