Crusader Kings II - Mod General

That's nothing, you should have seen the first version - I had to tone down the humor due to the event windows not scaling to your localisation of options.

We should collaborate and make a parody mod. :3

I feel somewhat embarrassed at having to ask, but is there a save game folder anywhere? I just want to alter a provinces culture in a single game only, so that my Khan of Ulster can convert the rest of Ireland to the Mongol culture (massively OP? Yes. Fun though ).

Assuming you're not on an OS that sucks, your save games will be in your My Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/ folder

Thanks! Now for the next problem - is there a simple way to edit .ck2 files?

notepad, but that can be.. very buggy due to the large file sizes. So get notepad++

For quickly finding your character do a search for "player = yes", though if you other random characters, use "charinfo" console game in-game to get the character id. Another search is to search via title so the duke of york holder would be d_york =

This. Saves are ridiculously huge. They are essentially all of the history files combined with the landed_titles file. If you don't search for specific variables you'll likely go insane trying to sort through them yourself. When it comes to file editing or new coding notepad++ has been my tool of choice for bigger files and error hunting. Can't recommend it more.

Well I've finally hit a wall. I wanted to add in a new councilor to my mod. Edited all the files, put the files in the right places, and everything works fine. Unfortunately, when I place my new councilor on the map, I get a CTD. Searching around reveals that the xsc and xac files are part of a modeling program called Emotion FX, and simply renaming the spymaster model files to what I want wont work. Did I mention that Emotion FX uses proprietary software and costs 10,000 dollars a license?

I can just move all the new actions over to the old councilors, but meh. I wanted my seamstress!
