User Interface Mods Compatibility
This mod contains Cadence's Extremely Lazily Written Genemodding UI to provide enough space for species modification window. Hence, the mod overrides the user interface file for species modification window:
  • interface/species_mod_window.gui
I've run several tests with some popular UI mods and I found no critical issue; you can use other UI mods without any compatibility mod. You can choose which species modification window you would like to use by sorting the mods. If you want to use the species modification window from other UI mod, sort the UI mod below of this mod. Otherwise, if you want to use the species modification window from CELWGUI, sort this mod below of the UI mod.


Other Compatibility Issue
Note that the mod manipulates and overrides vanilla elements of:
  • (game_rules) pop_has_random_ethics
  • (game_rules) species_has_happiness
I believe these are quite few changes, the mod should be compatible with most other mods.






  • Cadence - the creator of CELWGUI
  • Scradegn - provided polished descriptions
  • oh no - provided polished descriptions
  • C Moore - contributed on the update for Libra (v3.3.*)
