Steam Crusader Kings 2: Elder Kings runtime error

This will be a brief post, but I just wanted to share an issue I had last night installing Elder Kings on my CK2 install on Steam. For those that don't know Elder Kings is a mod that changes the game so you can play in the fantasy world of Elder Scrolls in CK2. As a big fan of the TES series I felt I needed to try this one. The mod is great, but my post is about a runtime error I got when trying to play the mod.

Basically the game would crash as soon as I started it with the mod activated. Turns out the solution was to install all options when you run the .exe, don't leave the selection on default. I learned this from http://steamcommunity.com/app/203770/discussions/0/810921274049313559/

So if you are having your game crash just reinstall the mod and this time select all the available options, ie. run the full installation not the default one. This solved the issue for me and I hope I help a few folks running into the same problem.

For thoroughness, I'm running it on steam on my Windows 7 machine. I'll try to post a bit more on this mod later once I get to play it a bit more. I will say though, great job to developpers, this is a solid, polished and through mod... well done
