I did ask this in the quick questions thread but it's been lost under new questions so I'll just ask here:

What is the console command to change a character's age? I want to be able to use the Ruler Designer but then remove the age limitation. If there's no console command to change age, how can I do it?

Alternatively, you can pick all the traits you want in the ruler designer and then pick some of the worst negative traits until your age goes down to 16. Start the game and then use the console to remove them. Just go on the CKii wiki in the cheats sections and look up the various traits you want to remove. They're all in the same section.

or you could go into the defines.lua and edit out the cost for modifying your own character...

that saves u from having to enter a tonne of console codes and having to switch back and forth to write them all down.

It's not too complicated, they're all basically increments of 10 starting from event 6011 with incapable being the exception (event 61160). The way I worded it in my previous post makes it sound more complicated than it really is.

In my case, I can't edit the save files or anything for that matter, so this method is the only one that works. Editing out the cost of ruler designer does seem useful though. I don't really see the point of the penalty anyways if we're allowed to create our own ruler.
