[1.3.3069b] Ideology apperance Preferances break with any apperance mod update.

[Imca]

Wasn't exactly sure if to put this here or in mod bugs, but given that its a problem with the base games support of mods rather then any specific mod I figured here would be better.

But basically any time an appearance mod updates to add more hairstyles, whatever system that is used to store the preferred hairstyles of an ideology gets offset by that many extra hairstyles as they automatically populate the list and push the existing ones about.... this can be a bit problematic for factions that are tied to specifc tags to get a specific style identity, since the new list wont use the tags to make sure things are in the right place like the pre-1.3 system did.

Basically it would just be nice if the list didn't get offset every time an author feels like adding something new.

Is the Hairstyle mod before or after core?

If it is before, issues are to be expected.
If it is after, the stuff should be appended at the end.

After core, it gets appended twords the middle and pushes other mod stuff down, which is especialy problematic for some of the alien mods who have hair tied to unique racial features.

Why not put them at the end, after all mod specific styles have been added? The list is build by the mods, in mod-order.
That should in theory avoid the issue. And is exactly why the mod order is a thing in the first place.
