Absolute Cognatic Succession...in Norway?

[Aubrielle]

Firstly, like a lot of others probably, I've modded tons of other games but I'm totally new to modding Paradox games. So please bear with me.

Can anyone point me toward a quick tutorial on how to change things like succession laws? I tried to open my save game in notepad, and of course that didn't work. How does one go about doing something like this in CK 2?

(1) Go to Crusader Kings 2\decisions\succession_laws.txt.

(2) Make a backup-copy of that file.

(3) Open the original file.

(4) Go to the part for "true_cognatic_succession".

(5) Replace:

allow = {
			holder_scope = { culture = basque }
		}

with:

allow = {
			or = {
				holder_scope = { culture = basque }
				holder_scope = { culture = norwegian }
			}
		}

(6) While this will not affect your savegame directly, you may now change your succession law to absolute cognatic as soon as you fulfill the regular requirements.

Oh, this is awesome. Thank you, thank you!

You can open the savegame file in notepad, but it takes a bit of time to load since it is so huge

Ohh......okay. I was trying to open it earlier, thinking it was crashing on me when it delayed. Thanks!

I'm just having problems figuring out how to tweak my succession laws right there in the save file. I changed "cognatic_succession" to "true_cognatic_succession" but my laws are still the same. Is it possible to change the laws my king is currently running on, or is it one of those things I'll have to manually do in-game once I meet all the requirements?

Edit: Nevermind! I figured it out. Now the women of my court are happily ruling their own demesnes.
