You go to Documents / Paradox / Victoria II / (if its with a mod : modName/) savegames, and open the savegame with Notepad. Preferrably with Notepad++. Then it depends on what you want to modify really.

I want to modify things like population and such, but I can't find where in the text document.

For that you must look for the province id ( http://www.victoria2wiki.com/Provinces ) and Ctrl+F for "provinceID=" ( https://gyazo.com/82228b0cb0ab546607ed9b6c2dd42e8a )
There you can change the size of the indivdiual POPs and so forth. However thats obviously a big hazzle to do on a large scale. If you just want to change the game's starting stuff, you can do that more easily in the gamefiles themselves btw.

Well i tried searching provinceID= and i couldnt get any results and idk where to start in terms of modifying population of a country from the start.

[Lembley42]

"provinceID" in that is ofcourse the variable of the provinceID of the province you want to modify.

So i have to do example: provinceID=503
Or what?

[Lembley42]

No you search 503= in that case

Ah k

And you start @terms of modifying the starting population in the gamefiles/history/POPs/country/and there you got the population sorted by the provinces.
Like I said, its a big hazzle. Its probably alot easier and quicker to write a program to do it for you than to do it yourself.

Well i was modifying the POP and when i checked in game nothing changed at all, and yes i saved it before quiting

[Lembley42]

It should though. Just change the size of some POP in specific province to 10 million or something (keep the original number in mind) and then load the savegame in the game and check that province's population.
