Change city type mid game

[zazquatch]

Is there any way to change city type mid-game? Tried the save-game-editing method but all my cities look the same as before. Even when colonizing a new planet!
Is there any mod or does somebody know more about save-game-editing?

Wondering this, myself. So, sorry for the necro.

Sorry to necro this, more, but since it was also the first place I found when searching it's probably a good place to put the answer.

Checking the wiki gives this:

https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Empire_modding#Graphic_style_of_spaceship_and_city

Where the two strings of:

graphical_culture = "mammalian_01"
city_graphical_culture = "mammalian_01"

are for ship design and city design respectively.

Entering the console command:

effect set_graphical_culture (culture id: humanoid_01)

or

effect set_city_graphical_culture (culture id: humanoid_01)

will change this in game to what you want, including DLC options as the above shows using the Humanoid DLC.

Oh I forgot to post the answer myself :/ But anyway: I had a problem where there were two instances of these two lines:

graphical_culture="mammalian_01"

city_graphical_culture="mammalian_01"


One at the top of the text file, one at the bottom.

Top lines are only galaxygen parameters, bottom are for already established empires. Also my empire had had no city_graphical_culture="mammalian_01" at the bottom cause mammalian_01 is the default set so it gets commented out. Hope that makes sense, however the answer above me seems much simpler :D

They're using the wrong file. It's in Users-> Documents -> Paradox -> Stellaris ->User Empire Design

Change the line of the empire you want to change from [city_graphical_culture="mammalian_01"] to what you want to change it to.

i'm unfortunately looking for more the in-game console command which probably just doesn't exist

When in the game, type `, then type help, it will show a list of all commands, look around, maybe you'll find something.
