Yes, it is totally normal to release a game and then patch it afterwards.
CK3's updates broke mods too.

I'm using version 1.03 of Bannerlord and installed a mod set inspired by one of Strat Gaming's videos
I also added: Arena Overhaul and Marry Anyone.
Initially, I did not notice any performance issues with this list. I did eventually experience a couple of issues which basically have been addressed: (i) CTDs while in the "My Little Warband" (MLW) troop editor, and (ii) crashes at random times. The latter was corrected by turning off the Realistic Battle Mod Tournament Module (conflicts with Arena Overhaul). The former I avoid by exiting the troop editor, and file saving before going back into the troop editor to continue creating a troop tree. It seems to me that MLW has issues with file writing leading to CTDs.
However, as I've played more hours--and in particular after adding Arena Overhaul and Marry Anyone--I've noticed a new issue for which I have not found any solution: CPU loads go up into the 65 to 75% range in certain scenes: primarily campaign map, settlement menu, and arena. The trade menus, tavern, battle maps (including hideout maps) seem to have more normal CPU loads in the 15 to 25% ballpark.
This is not game breaking, but I really don't like to put that much strain on my machine as a routine. So I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions for resolving the issue?
Should I just experiment with removing mods one by one? Is it possible a change in load order could fix it? is there a particular mod that stands out as the likely cause of the high CPU loads in those particular game renders?
My fear is that MLW is the source, and that bums me out, cause I really like that mod. One hunch is that: it is the troop tree I've built with that mod (the mod basically allows the player to create their own custom troop tree), because, like I said: I didn't notice any heavy CPU activity until I had played for a while. It may be that after I had built out an extensive troop tree that that is what is causing the heavy CPU loads in certain scenes?

Yeah the modders are great, they deserve a lot of praise.
Anyone who makes a mod that proves to be useful is a literal hero among us, and deserves nothing but praise, whether their mod is low quality, broken or abandoned.
Built with modding as integral is different than “ just has modding”.
I'm just in here to support the modders. There are quite a few great mods for 1.1.0 already. Yes, you have to change how you play when your 'crucial' mods aren't updated but that can be a good thing sometimes. I do check the 'recently updated' filter every day though
Many of the modders for Bannerlord are great, just a shame they gotta be put through the ringers every update. Hopefully they're just waiting for the game's dust to settle and will come back to update their mods. A lot of them make the game playable. lol
I'm sorry, but I can't take you seriously when you ask dumb questions like this. Does Bethesda care for the modders because the game could be modded and they opened up their own official modding store page? I should hope your answer would be "No, of course not" but given that it is you, the answer would probably lean more towards the opposite of that statement.

Be sure to use the latest mod version for that!
I hope the new version managed to fix the bug which caused that marrying clan leaders resulted into your own clan getting kicked out of your own kingdom. That bug ruined a game of mine.

Good way to destroy your game regardless if you want to marry clan leaders from other clans and have them join your clan.

What do you mean? How marrying a NPC clan leader destroys a game? (Besides the mod's bug)
I'm playing e1.8.1 and if you play a male character and marry a female NPC clan leader, nothing else joins your clan but she. Her former clan chooses a new leader, they won't join you. Maybe it's different in the release version.

The game would be dead by this point if they did that though.
Source code for Bannerlord Mods
In the interests of sharing code for Bannerlord mods, it would be great collect links to public githubs that are active and up-to-date (as opposed to abandoned on some previous version of Bannerlord). Please post any links in this thread to add to this starter list...

@JabdiMelborn , thank you! I was not aware of this thread.
I was basing by opinion on the fact that many newer mods on Nexus no longer link their source code.
Faith renewed, though.

Luckily we have guys like you and your crew!
Thanks again for all of your effort!
With your attitude I do wonder what games you even consider moddable? You seem to be living in the cloud district with the expectations you have, no wonder Bannerlord was a disappointment to you.
Keep a more positive attitude my fellow, and you will see that things will be more rewarding.
"Every" game is moddable to a point.

I thought you didn't like or use mods?
Anyways for me it would be:

The problem with Bannerlord is it's basically going to be in Early Access forever, it will never be in a true finished state. Which is screwy, because if nothing else, this also hampers TW's ability to sell DLC/Expansions as well. Well Console Peasants don't have a choice, so if TW releases a Diplomacy DLC that's their only option. The real question is are there enough console players left to make that a viable business model?
The game has been out for 3 years now basically too. You can't expect people to stay interested in what's a mostly SP game for that long. No matter how dedicated.
What does that have to do with what I said? Just because Taleworlds allows modding doesn't mean they care, which you claimed they do simply because they "allow" for modding. What other games I consider moddable is irrelevant.
And Bannerlord is a disappointment because it's a disappointment. It's a below average game held up on the backs of skilled and dedicated modders and andies that can't be honest about the game's numerous faults even if it meant saving their life.

Imho any game studio that release modding tools care about modding. However it's not the game studio's responsibility to juggle around with mods and ensure their game is compatible with them all and none of them will stop working with updates to the game. No more than demand of a modder that they need to ensure their mod is compatible with every other mod out there. Mods that conflict with each other and crash the game is a thing after all.
Someone who like the game and enjoy playing it can still be critical to the game. Someone that is critical to the game can still be vested into the game one way or the other. And neither of them need to get labelled an Andie or a Hater. Opinions, everyone got them and yours not any more worth than any other ones.
For a game that is supposed to be held up by skilled and dedicated modders the cries from players about mods stopped working and not being updated doesn't necessary reflect that though. Modders can add great value to a game but they are not end of all.
That's not true at all. They just know mods will keep Bannerlord afloat, and that's why they consistently do the bare minimum—just like they do with every other part of the game. It's like saying Bethesda adores its modders just because they created the Mod Store and adopted some of them, but the action itself directly harmed modders. Hell, it's like saying just because they're updating the game, it means they care about the players. Which is complete nonsense.
Yes, they can still be critical. I never said they couldn't. Andies are not those people though. Andies are people who cannot be critical, but are in fact, so blindly biased they can't see reason. They are two completely different groups of fans. And opinions can be wrong, and certainly not worth a thought. You know, like those people whose opinion is that the world is flat, or that the Holocaust never happened.

Having different views/opinions about a game and claim the world is flat as a pancake quite different things. Bethseda doesn't adore their modders they wanted to monetize their work of which imho is far worse
People get labelled for their views on the game. If someone say something positive about the game or show they enjoy it they get the instant label of a fanboi or a white knight because they doesn't subscribe to your agenda. Meanwhile you get the label of being a hater and a troll. You can enjoy something and be critical to it, and you can critical to something and still be vested into it without the need for labels,
