Modding Question.

[Officer's Ushanka]

Hello. Pretty much the title as I like to mod games that I play a lot (like paradox games). Anyways, I want to create a fun OP trinket set to get the general idea of modding and for fun but the page for the modding guide is kinda lacking.

Also, would like to know how to get the trinkets asap to see if they work. In a game like crusader kings 2/3, when I made a new trait for the character I would be able to see if it works just by typing on the console "give trait "trait id" "character id"" but Im not sure how to have a console in this game.

Thanks in advance for the help

Thanks! But this post still doesnt solve my second issue. How can I force a save to give me the trinket immediately? Do I need to download a cheat console from somewhere else?

Nice! Ur a live saver. But I still got a question. If I want to create a custom buff that heals +55 stress can it be done by modifying the ancestor's scroll buff? From:

{
"id" : "TRINKET_ancestors_scroll_STRESSHEALDONE_BUFF",
"stat_type" : "stress_heal_percent",
"stat_sub_type" : "",
"amount" : 0.25,
"remove_if_not_active" : false,
"rule_type" : "always",
"is_false_rule" : false,
"rule_data" : {
"float" : 0,
"string" : ""
}
}
To>>>>>>>>>

{
"id" : "TRINKET_darkest_scroll_STRESSHEALDONE_BUFF",
"stat_type" : "stress_heal_percent",
"stat_sub_type" : "",
"amount" : 0.55,
"remove_if_not_active" : false,
"rule_type" : "always",
"is_false_rule" : false,
"rule_data" : {
"float" : 0,
"string" : ""
}
}
Would that work? Rn working on the first trinket which would be basically buffed CC scroll for crusader

You can directly edit this buff (it's the one from the Crusader CC Trinket)
"TRINKET_cru_signed_conscription_STRESSHEALDONE_B1"

But to answer your question, yes, it would work !
