How do I get the converter to work?

[Mr. ZAP]

I've never done it before, but I was under the understanding that after you export your game it's supposed to show up as a mod in EUIV, but it isn't showing up. I can find the export folder in my CKII mods.

I'm using CKII 2.1.6 and EUIV 1.7.3, so any issues with the new patches should be moot.

I did use a couple of mods in CKII. I don't know if that would have rendered it unusable or not. Originally the export folder was in a folder for save games with the mods, and I moved it to the normal mod folder after reading about it.

I'm hoping I'm doing something wrong and it can be corrected, as opposed to it just not working, but I don't know what to do.

When you export a save it goes directly to the EUIV mod folder; all you should need to do to use it is open EUIV and select it..

The EUIV mod folder? For some reason I was led to understand it was supposed to be the CKII one. I suppose that makes more sense. Why would it have appeared in my CKII files in the first place, though?

I believe it does go to the CK2 folder in my documents however EU4 looks there for converted savegames aswell as it's own mod folder so it has the same effect.

Note that the converter has not yet been updated to work with the recent major matches for both CK2 and EU4. It only really works from the previous patch level in each case, so 2.1.6 -> 1.7.3 . I believe it is the next cab off the rank to work on, now the post-2.2 clean-up seems to be finished.

thanks! looking forward to playing ck2 again when the converter is fixed!

It sometimes puts the converted file in a CKII mod folder if you're running mods.
