Welcome to the After the End open beta.

As there are a number of players that may

be confused by the process of installing the mod, I’ve elected to create this simple guide

IF YOUR GAME CRASHES ON THE LOADING SCREEN ITS OK, SIMPLY START THE
GAME AGAIN AND IT USUALLY LOADS

Step one: install Winrar. Now, this isn’t technically required but it makes handling files much
easier and I would highly recommend it. Don't worry, it’s 100% free, even if it prompts you to buy
it, you can close the window and continue using it for free.

Step Two: Go to the #ck3-beta-updates Channel in the beta channel section of the AtE
Discord.. From there, scroll up to find the most recent build released via a mega link. Download
the files once you’ve found it

Step Three: Open your Crusader Kings 3

Step Four: Go to ‘All Installed Mods’

Then ‘Upload Mod’

Then Press ‘Create Mod’

Now it doesn’t really matter what you call it or what version you put in, but it's best to put it in like
this. Select “Total Conversion” from the list of Tags.

Step five: Open ‘downloads’ and open the After the End mod download.
Step six: Now you gotta locate the mod you created previously. Go to Documents → Paradox
Interactive → Crusader Kings 3 → mods, then open the empty folder with the name you chose.
Should look something like this:

Within the AtE download, navigate to this page.

Now you gotta transfer those files into your mod

Step seven: This is a very important step or everything in the game will be a bit wonky. Within
the ate mod file which you just put all your files in. There is a file called “Descriptor.mod” open
this file in notepad or notepad++ (if you have it) and insert this text into it:

replace_path="history/characters"
replace_path="history/cultures"
replace_path="history/provinces"
replace_path="history/titles"
This should resolve any issues with things not being where they should be. Save and close the
descriptor.mod file and then relaunch the CK launcher.

And Congratulations! You are now ready to beta test After the End, simply restart the CK3
Launcher and launch your mod!

Updating with new files

Updating is easy, simply download the mod files again, then skip to step six and insert them into
your files.

MAKE SURE TO DELETE ALL OLD FILES BEFORE INSERTING THE NEW ONES
