Fast Guide/Tips to Begginers for Modding on eu4 with links

[Blue]

This guide is to help those who have a little knowledge on programming language and want to start modding for Europa Universalis IV.
I started this because I lost some hours trying to find clues to some information and bugs on my mods, so I decided to gather everything up to help new adventurers!

1 - I would highly recommend using at least Notepad++ and changing the language to C# to help you while modding.
2 - On the 'paradoxwikis.com' links, there are some eu4 archives locations, but here are 2 very important ones that wont be easily found using logic:
\Steam\steamapps\common\Europa Universalis IV\common\event_modifiers
\Steam\steamapps\common\Europa Universalis IV\common\static_modifiers


- Game Data (commands, conditions, country list, modifier list, province list and more):

- Guide to Event Modifiers:
https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Event_modding
(I highly recommend reading 'The event id' and 'The title and description', took me some time to figure out that couldn't freely change those 2).

- To upload a mod, you can do it inside the game, you can click on 'content' > 'mod', there should be a 'manage' button to upload to steam. Also, note 3 important things (took me some time because of this):
1 - 'YOUR MOD' can't be compressed (steam will make it a .zip for other users)
2 - If you copy/paste the '.mod' document from another mod, you should change archive="mod/'your_mod'.zip" in your .mod file to path="mod/'your_mod'".
3 - As some other pages tells you that your mod file should be on '\Steam\steamapps\common\Europa Universalis IV\' folder, this is not true. It can be on either 'Steam folder' or 'Your Documents folder'.

- Validator (helps you check if your mod is working):
