Nice tutorial! I don't plan to add any people soon, but it's nice to know how simple it is. Basing it on that tutorial and looking at some of the other files, the game seems really simple to mod. This is good!
 
only problem for me is to find out how i can set a special coa for my new dynastie :(

You need to have the 'code' for CoA then add it to your dynasty in dynasties such as the example below. That code "0 2 0 13 0 7 0" gives you something similar to English 3 lions. The way I picked that particular CoA is I saw it on one of the courtiers, saved the game, found that guy in the save game, found his dynasty, and extracted code from his Dynasty definition (still in the savegame file).

Code: 
	8128133=
	{
		name="St Brigit"
		coat_of_arms=
		{
			data=
			{
0 2 0 13 0 7 0 			}
			religion_group="christian"
		}
	}
 
How do you make so your character has a dynasty or family? When i star to play hes listed as lowborn and can only marry in a way that makes all offspring of the mothers dynasty...

Edit
My mistake missed a zero

Thanks for this tutorial, but I ran into an odd problem for me.

Random dynasties are listed as "Lowborn" for me when I try and play as them. For instance, when I try to play as the King of France, it says "Lowborn" under his name, but the Holy Roman Emperor still has his dynasty name. The character I modded in is also listed as "Lowborn." So my question is, what exactly am I doing wrong here? Is the range I inserted a few new dynasty names into (3555555-3555560) or cause some sort of error? For the character, I merely copy-pasted another one and changed the appropriate fields, so I don't see anything wrong there.

I'm sorry if I should start my own thread for this issue, but this seemed like a good place to post this. I honestly am not sure why the game is doing this, I could have sworn that I followed everything correctly.

Not sure what you are doing wrong exactly, you could try the files I've posted here as they do work as noble (and not lowborn), and edit it for your liking.
 
I hade the same problem. There was another mod with a conflicting dynasties.txt. Apparently only the first one is loaded and the others are ignored. Merging or deleting one will make it work.
 
I have a problem where all my save games with the new character can't be loaded instead when I try to select them the game crashes. Anybody know why that would happen?
 
Make the ruler of one of the holdings in that provice the character's employer/host?

How do you find someone in a savegame file?
 
Not to diminish the tutorial, it's really good, but the problem I have with it is that it's a video. It's easier for me to follow the steps when it's typed out. So what I'm wondering is if anyone has a link for a text version guide for adding my own dynasty in.
