EU4 Event Editor

[Wodan]

Hello I am a beginner in Eu4 modding and would like to create a custom nation with events and such. Are there editors or modding tools that simplify this?

I also asked the chatgpt and he gave me some tolls but no longer available for download, even the above is no longer on Steam to find.

Can you help me?

chatgpt probably invented some tools which never existed. It seems to do that a lot when asking eu4 related questions.

The modding page on the wiki lists some modding tools[eu4.paradoxwikis.com] and some of them can help with event modding, but I don't think that there is an actual event editor.
Even modding is not particularly difficult as long as the effects and conditions of events are relatively simple, so you could do it without an editor. The wiki has a lot of information about modding topics if you want to learn more.

Thank you. What is the situation with missions? I would also like to do a mission for the nation. ^^"

Did you have a look at the wiki? It links a tool for mission trees. But the tool is just a helper to make it easier to arrange missions. You still have to write the trigger an effect code yourself

basically just copy-paste from an example mission, event, decision, or whatever. EU4 (and most (all?) other PDS games on this engine) use the same uncompressed plain text scripting language. you'll get used to it, eventually. The only 'tool' you need is a text editor.

So simple?

yes. browse either the wiki or game files to find an event similar-ish to what you are looking for, copy it, and edit it
