I've added my new provinces to the province set up file, but I'm still getting a CTD when loading a character. I assume the file has to exactly match my changes, meaning I'll need to see what files I changed the number of settlements for?
I'm very new to modding and i'm currently attempting to add more restrictions to certain cb's. Can anyone tell me how to add piety or prestige requirements?

Edit the can_use section of the relevant CBs in common/cb_types/
It's very possible to mod them, but the localisation keys are limited. I don't think there's a way to add your Dynasty name (you can make nicknames that show your Dynasty name though), Also, I haven't found a way to mod courtier names or names in tooltips. And I don't think Regnal numbers can be disabled.
The loc stuff:
NAME_W_NICK
TITLED_NAME_W_NICK
TITLED_NAME
Again, this covers only how the names of landed rulers are displayed on character screens, and how the text localises them.
You can mod these a fair bit. You can remove quotation marks from around nicknames for rulers (handy if you want Dynasty names as nicknames). You can display names in the order of "Robert, Duke of Normandy" by adding a comma after $NAME$ and moving $TITLE$ after $NAME$. You can also remove $TITLE$ and $HOLDING$ without any problems.

Oh, duh!
I keep a separate search archive, with all the DLC zips exploded into the main directories. I use this when searching for stuff in the files. I need to update it with the newest files.
You could just make a duplicate of all of the nicknames that contains the dynasty name as well.
Are the on_actions on_rel_elector_chosen and on_rel_head_chosen broken?
I'm not getting any effects from them while a workaround using on_new_holder_inheritance does function.
This is with the SoA it depends on.

Im curious to know if its possible to mod the outline of the empire tier titles. For example how the HRE has the two headed eagle outline or the nomads have the two horses. Is it possible to change those into something else? Also how you would go about doing that?
It's in gfx/models/shields. There's some image files there, of which I am not sure how they are read, but I'm sure you could figure out with some trial and error.
The .xac model files in that folder are completely unmoddable (without a ca. $13000 program which the vendor won't sell to private individuals), the .dds files are compressed image files used as skins. You can, however, use the Jorodox (I think that's the name) tool to import/export between Blender (I think) and Paradox .mesh model files. No, I won't look up the link for you, that's what the User Mod sticky is for.
Quick question.
I've got a mod that moves fladers from k_frisia to k_france, and does so by modifying the landed_titles.txt
I'm wondering if I might be better served (and make it easier to update the mod in the face of any changes to said landed_titles.txt file) to instead use the title history files to make k_france it's dejure liege at some semi-arbitrary date.

Prior to 2.5, that probably wouldn't have been a viable solution as changes to de jure structure weren't properly being preserved on loading a save. Now it might be.
And to test this I would need to start the game with the mods., save, exit and then reload it, yes?
Is it possible to mod lovers/friends/rivals and replace it with something else?
Instead of lovers, it can be someone in your court with a certain trait.
Guessing you can't, there seems to be hard coded scopes and conditions.

do you have an example of this? i keep getting the same courtiers or none at all, lol
Is there any way, via modded event or decision, to grant the "despot" or "designated heir" honorary title to someone outside of your court?
Based on the Abdictation mod I created my own Abdicate Throne mod. I basically rewrote most of the code. You should get a descision in the intrigue tab but unfortunately I can't get it to show up.
The events I wrote and the localisation form them are working (tested in console) but the descision can't be found. The game logs say that my events can't be called because I set them all "is_triggered_only = yes".
The mod folder is as following:
...\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod\Abdicate_Throne
Sub folders are:
descisions -> abdicate_throne_descisions.txt
events -> abdicate_throne_events.txt
localisation -> 00_abdicate_throne_localisation.csv
This is the script of the descision. It's unfinished but it should show up. I commented from_potential and potential in and out. I added and removed the conditions in them but no success.
I don't know what's wrong.
