allow laws?

[Soul Binder]

Just picked up some DLC from sale including Conclave.
Trying to setup a new game with my usual bunch of mods installed, including some cheat ones.
As usual I used the cheat mods to sieze the titles of my vassals and then batch exicute entire court so have no one to even form a coucil.
Run concole command allow_laws so I can set my real laws how I want before filling my court back up and handing out titles and council spots etc.
However when I go to change the laws I get message saying council rejects the change. I have no council currently, no one besides me and the commoners outside my walls at the moment so how can anyone reject anything I decide to do?
My ruler may be a sociopathic murding sob but he's not suffering multiple personality disorder or anything.

Empty council slots count as no votes when you are running conclave...

note that this includes the extra advisor slot(s) when running a kingdom/empire

[Soul Binder]

that's just stupid.
if I disable conclave can I load my save and change the laws then reenable conclave?

Setup is Byzantine Empire which in my 324AD start date consists of just the county of Constantinople and nothing else lol.

May I ask, and I'm not judging here, but why do you use cheat mods and cheese the game ?

Aren't there any cheats to just create a horde of yesmen and just pass all the laws you want?

[zoellerama]

I'LL judge him!

"As usual I used the cheat mods"- at this point I quit caring about your problem.

There are probably console commands and such. Of course he could just use his cheat gold to buy favors then call in support...

Intrigue-tab: "invite noble to court", fill the adviser-slots! Whats the actual problem?

More an annoyance than an actual problem.

I do use console commands like the allow_laws one which is suppossed to, and prior to getting conclave did, allow for changing laws freely as long as you had the tech.

For those who want to judge me for using cheat mods please be my guest.
I'm playing single player, and looking to set up and run the game in a way I find to be PERSONALLY enjoyable and satisfying.

If I ever bother to try a multiplayer game any and all such cheats will remain disabled unless the other players have all opted to use specific mods with their varios effects on game game play.

Anyways now that I'm aware of the fact that empty council positions equate to a NO vote I will simply ensure from now on that when setting up a new game I fill those positions with temporary yes men.
