This mod splits the human race into four separate in-game species, meaning that players can create a custom empire using people of just a single ethnicity. 'We appreciate any inappropriate mods being brought to our attention and will take them down where necessary, we also encourage players to make use of the flagging function provided by Valve where needed.'ĭespite the developer's stance towards this particular mod, it is currently still available via third party site ModDB.Ī second mod, entitled 'Separate Human Phenotypes', is also being looked into by Paradox. 'We embrace the idea that players mod the game to best represent how they want to play, we do NOT however wish to enable discriminatory practices. 'We shipped the game originally with an accurate representation of humans, that is to say diverse in both ethnicity and personality,' a Paradox spokesperson told Eurogamer.

This mod, which was creatively titled 'European Phenotype and Names Only (White Humans)', is no longer available to download via the Steam Workshop. ORIGINAL STORY 2.20pm: Paradox has removed a Stellaris mod which altered the game's human race to be entirely made up of white characters with European names. Graham ends her tweet with a link to Paradox's rules of conduct, before stating that this is the last time the developers intended to comment on this mod. 'We welcome everyone to create all kind of mods for us as long as they comply with our rules of conduct and we expect our modders to help us keep the comment sections free of any racial slurs or other things that do not comply with these same codes.' 'We interpreted this particular mod as breaking those rules of conduct, however it would appear that the comments surrounding the mod, rather than the mod itself, were the biggest problem. 'We have a few rules of conduct that have been in effect for the better part of a decade where racial slurs, among other things, are not allowed,' said Graham.

UPDATE 7.30pm: Paradox has clarified its reasoning for removing the 'European Phenotype and Names Only (White Humans)' mod, in a tweet made by COO, Susana Meza Graham.
