Modding for Newbies - Need some help

[unmerged(243088)]

Hello everyone, I am looking to make some slight modifications to CK2. However, I honestly don't really know where to begin. I tried using some EU3 tutorials and CK1 tutorials, but things seem to be a fair bit different. Therefore, I would be extremely grateful if someone could provide some help/short tutorials on how to do some of the following:

1. creating new kingdoms/duchies/counties
2. creating new dynasties/characters
3. editing character portraits
4. event basics (things that are new to CK2 and differ from previous games)

Thank you in advance.

1. History/Titles then add them to the localistion file.
2a. History/Characters: Add or find the character you want.
2b. Common/dynasties: Add or find the dynasty you want here.
3. Haven't done this.
4. Haven't done this.

While inspecting the game files I've figured out how to create actual titles. However, I'm unsure how to add "de jure" areas to a created title. I'm sure its fairly easy though and I'm simply being dense... Thanks guys

I have a question that may seem a bit strange, but... is it possible to create a culture that would only produce people of one gender, for instance, female? What would happen if there were no male names supplied for that culture?

Basic way :

e_my_empire = {
	k_my_kingdom = {
		d_my_first_duchy = {
			c_my_first_county =
				b_baronya = {
				}
				b_baronyb = {
				}
				b_baronyc = {
				}
				b_baronyd = {
				}
			}
			c_my_second_county =
				b_baronye = {
				}
			}
		}
		d_my_second_duchy = {
			...

With this :
You will have an empire, with a de Jure kingdom in it, with 2 de Jure Duchy in it, with 2 de Jure county in the first duchy with 4 baronies in the first one and 1 barony in the second one
