Changing holding types?

[Grand Admiral Edward]

is there anyway to change prebuilt holdings (or holdings you build, but realize you clicked on the wrong one)? There are a few holdings here and there that imo are the wrong type for whatever reason. In Negev, for example, you don't get much benefit from Petra because Petra is in Baidha-Petra, which is a City Holding (and until Merchant Republics come out, you won't get any benefit from it at all, just like the Doge's Palace in Venice). Cherbourgh is a City Holding, and something I would like to directly control, because of it's (much more modern) history. Likewise, I would love to hold Caen directly for the same reason. Richmond, in North Riding I would love to make a castle because it's out on that peninsula of North Riding. There are a few more counties that have City Holdings that for whatever reason I feel would be better castles, due to either terrain or location. Is there any way of being able to change them to a different type of holding?

In game - no. In game files - yes.

Best way is to edit the files yourself, or at least the savegame.

The ability to change the type of a holding can be modded in, as there is the set_holding_type script effect.

Translation to english - first you change the game files.
