I've never done any modding myself, but I would like to make a few changes to my own game. I thought I would ask for the wisdom of the community in this. :)

1. I bought my game through Steam. Will it work to change things in the steam version? Would there be any problems?

2. I like having rulers with a high diplomacy rating. How do I change the stats of a character in a save game?

3. I have enjoyed playing the 1551 scenario. But, I'd like more time to play the game. So, how do I change the end date in the 1551 scenarios? Can I change the end date in a save game, and how do I do that?

Thanks.

Open your save game with a programm (I recommend notepad ++) and seach your ruler, then change the stat in the attributes.

You can change the end date in the bookmark.txt of the common folder. I don't know whether you can chnage it after the game begins.

I buy primarily through Steam, and I can say that I have never had an issue modding Sengoku or any other Paradox release (EU3 and HoI3). Just be careful of the fact that sometimes Steam will update your base game to the point of making it incompatible with your installed mods. There is a setting to prevent updating, but sometimes that setting also gets reset during Steam updates.
