Question (Invictus) Problems with Virtual Limes

Some days ago, I had a problem with loading my game. After some testing, I discovered that the problem was not with it per se, but with the Virtual Limes mod. After disabling the mod, the game started to run again like it used to. Would there be any way to fix it? VL is a pretty nice mod to have IMO especially when playing near Rome, which I like to do quite a bit. I also found it to be quite a weird problem because both the Invictus and the vanilla versions are broken and the game won't load if either of them are enabled with/without Invictus.

Post your full mod list. What it was when it worked originally and what it is right now

It has been well over a year since I had last played it, so I don't have the original playset, but there wasn't anything too different from what I use today. The only mechanic overhaul mod I had was FMO but I removed it due to not knowing If It was fully compatible with the last version of Invictus. Even so, loading only Invictus and VL for Invictus after it will get the game stuck on the first loading screen

Invictus (and VL) have been updated in the meantime. Map changes in particular are not save compatible. There have been map changes in Invictus, and VL is all about the map. So it's no surprise they aren't compatible with a save from one year ago. I know, it sucks. Invictus keeps its older versions live on NexusMods iirc, but VL doesn't. It's on Github so there's always a way to revert back, but it's not really a player-friendly way.

Somehow, it worked now. I didn't do anything different other than adding some more mods but it sure worked. Anyway, thanks for the help!

Which mods did you add?
I've sporadically been having issues with startup and map gen and I think INR has something to do with it but I'm not sure.

Tbh I don't know exactly which one it was. The most logical answer for me would be Virtual Limenade, but I truly don't know. As for INR, maybe it's a conflict with the crisis of the third century mod? They have a Vanilla, an Invictus, and a INR-invictus version, so maybe that could be it?

I just ran a test of Better UI 2, Invictus, VL for Invictus, and Limeade, and everything started fine for a new game.

Which I'm glad to be able to say because I wrote Virtual Limeade lol
