Just reloading your mods (enter Mods screen, leave) will work for refreshing def changes. At least in A13, anyway.

I know it's supposed to, but for some reason this mod only works for me by completely quitting and reloading. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Judging from the original thread, there were a few ppl on the last page with same problem as me who never got a response. Not trying to be difficult, it's only a game after all, but I've been following the guidance of the earlier screenshots, and even completely reinstalled the mod, created the Defs folder within the mod folder all over again, and then extracted the folders from Templates into the newly made Defs folder. I even extracted the NameDefs and PawnBioDefs this time too, even though they are irrelevant to my plans. I honestly couldn't tell you what I did differently back in A-whenever to make it work, but manually creating a Defs folder within the Backstories mod folder only seems to make the mod unusable, and while the mod will run if I extract the three defs folders to the main backstories mod folder, the actual backstories I created don't appear among the others on EDB PC, regardless of how I arrange the mods on Mod Order.

There is SOMETHING finicky about the mod, as I had this same issue and it seems to crop up randomly at times. Make sure all the defs are valid. I'd suggest you delete all the templates and any you created, and just use one of the sets provided to test at first. If that works, you can add yours back in. Also, it seems that you need to restart the game completely for any change in the defs to take effect (I think?).
