Okay, so that post helps. First thing I see is that it looks like you're trying to make the edits at the very beginning of the save file. Rather than make the change there under the info that defines more you as the player, rather than the character itself, you want to make your changes specifically on your character entry in the save file, which is much further down in the save file than those entries there at the very top.
So, because the save file is huge, do a search (usually the hotkey is ctrl-f) for either the character's name, in this case Paula I believe, or, more specifically, search for the character ID, which is 1069448. Now, there's several places where both the name and the ID are used in the save for various reasons.
Remember that if you search by name, you may come across other characters named Paula; you want the entry that has both the correct character name AND the correct ID number. What you're looking for looks similar to this:
Code:
2612176=
{
bn="Ermengardis"
fem=yes
b_d="771.10.12"
fat=2601293
mot=2608659
att={2 2 5 1 1}
tr={198 }
rel="catholic"
cul="welsh"
g_cul="pictish"
dnt=1000101172
dna="vtggunlxkoj"
prp="jl0hbk00000000000000000000000000000000"
fer=0.400
health=5.400
prs=0.730
piety=1.020
claim=
{
title=b_aarschot
pressed=yes
weak=yes
}
emp=2617425
host=2617425
guardian=2610611
flags=
{
ze_child_conscientious_events=778.4.25
recent_treatment=778.5.21
}
md=
{
modifier="in_seclusion"
}
focus_date="777.10.18"
}
Now of course it won't look EXACTLY like that, your character will have different information in it, extra stuff, etc. But it will be similar. Under that entry, notice the "dna=" and "prp=" lines. Make your changes there. Save the file, and then reload the game in CK2. Depending of course on what you're changing, it should then reflect the changes. Like I said though, the properties one sometimes is funny...note for example all the 0's in it...some of the fields will have no effect on certain characters.
With that said, if you're just copying an exact dna and prp entry from a different save, it shouldn't matter. It should mostly reproduce the character's look without issue (clothes sometimes are different though, for example).
Hopefully this helps!
