Editing Tags

Is it possible to edit the chance of tags appearing when kids grow up?

I believe the chance of the tag showing on the adult they grow up from a child is based on what class of character the child is becoming. Since this should be the case you can look in the SUBRACE.xml to find the tag chances and can change their chances how you see fit.

Always backup in case as you never know what can happen.

Thanks! I gave it a try by changing the "chance to" value of some tags but it doesn't seem to be reflecting so in-game. By chance, would you happen to know if changes to the xml file retroactively work on saves prior to the change or do I have to start a new game for them to be in effect??

Changing something even as little as the chance percentage of a tag will result in the game having a new database. Loading a game when you have a new database is never recommended due to changes causing incompatibilites.

In this case I can only assume the saved game contains the information for chances being one thing while the database is saying otherwise.

I should of said this before and this is my fault but whenever you makes changes to the games *.xml files it's always best to start a new game.
