I've some trouble with one mod, but I don't know which one it is.
Sometimes I'm getting empty messages. It looks like this: https://imgur.com/M8jxDHU

Nature's Pretty Sweet

So I believe one of them causes it. Because the message is really rare, I can't reproduce it. Had it 2 times for now.
Can anyone help me? Maybe someone had the same issue and does know which mod it is.

I looked in the savegame file for it, and found this:


               <li Class="StandardLetter">
                  <ID>39</ID>
                  <def>NeutralEvent</def>
                  <lookTargets IsNull="True" />
                  <relatedFaction>null</relatedFaction>
                  <arrivalTick>1896000</arrivalTick>
               </li>

I don't know if this is helpfull?

If you can force to get this message, try to switch to engl. translation.
I think it is maybe a problem with the translation.

I switched to English and will see, what happens. Thank you.

It didn't work. Still got the empty message. I think this message should trigger an event, but this never happens. So I believe it's a compatibility problem. But with which mod of the many I have?

Canute

Without more information about the event it is hard to say.
Maybe it isn't an event and just a notification.
But since you can't force this message, it is pointless to deactivate mods.
If you don't find any more information, i would suggest keep playing and ignore it.
Maybe during the gameplay you might get a clue about the meaning of that window if it appear again.

Yeah, I tried to read the context (if it appears at certain moments or if there is anything on the map) but that didn't help. It appears very rarely and when it does, mostly two times in a period of a few days. But I don't get errors with dev mode or any helpful informations in the save file. It doesn't seem to be important, so I can ignore it, I think.

Hi mate ive the same problem i greenlight the mods iam using aswell.
I personally think its rimquest and iam testing right now.


The ones i was using with a new game aswell are orange marked, rimquest seems to be garbage, quest on slaves, quest in the ocean etc.

But Rimquest gives you only a message if your pawns are approaching the questgiver in the caravan, so I don't know if it really is the reason for it.
In my new run I disabled some of the mods: Nature's Pretty Sweet, Let's Trade!, Crash Landing, Dub's Bad Hygiene.
Since I started the new save, I didn't had this message again, but I'm not that far for now. I will observe it.
For now I think it could be Nature's Pretty Sweet since this caused some other trouble to me, but as I said, I don't know for sure.

iam in a 5 hours new seed game without rimquest and didnt have that message yet. all other stuff is still on. Ill wait for it too :D
When there appeared a caravan, i usually had a small flash to the worldmap like a blink for a second. i felt like rimquest is seeding the locations on entering the map for the possible quests to give. even if you wont accept them they may produce emtpy letters.

would feel bad if its pretty nature as its really pretty :D

Kaelen Mosar

just got it - just turned off rimquest
maybe it really is pretty nature.. but its soo pretty :D

I'm now at day 42 and haven't got the message yet.

Kaelen Mosar

seems its really pretty nature but its soo pretty :D and it has like no effect except the messages

iam at 140 days recieved it several times
