HELP: Adding negative modifiers to French birth_rate

[starp41]

France is currently overpowered and although there are few reasons for that (some of them addressed by some mods already such as the treaty ports in the British market), the population growth is another one.

I'm new to modding, and althought I know exactly the modifications I want to trigger, I don't know how to combine them nor have them actually active in the game.

Identifiying French regions

    any_scope_state = {
        state_region = {
            is_homeland = french
        }
    }

Modifying birth_rate (actual value is high for testing purposes)

    state_birth_rate_mult = -0.95
    }

PS. I don't care about making a steam mod out of it. Maybe if I get it to work. Right now I would like to make this work even if modifying files directly in the directory.

Could it be something like this? Copied the method from 00_default_strategy"

state_birth_rate_mult = {
    if = {
        any_scope_state = {
                state_region = {
                        is_homeland = french
                }
            }
    }
    add = -0.95
}
