Need help with saved game modding.

[unmerged(51251)]

How do I change the minister in a cabinet by altering the saved game. Specifically for HoS or HoG.

open up the save file using a text editor (like notepad).

go into the country's minister file (in the DB/ministers folder) using a text editor (like notepad) find the ID of the HoS or HoG you wish to replace (and the ID of the HoS or HoG you wish to replace it with. Write it down.

Open up the save file using a text deitor (like notepad) and search for:

HeadOfState = { type = 9 id = x }

or

HeadOfGovernment = { type = 9 id = x }

(where x is the ID number of the minister already in the game). Replace with the ID of the person you wish to replace it with.

If you want to add a minister that hasn't been created yet (say you wish to add a minister to the minister file but you do not want to start a new game you need to add the minister stats to the save file as well. Just above the entry given above there are minister stats. Add it there

    minister = { 
        id = { type = 9 id = 1181 } 
        name = "Sir Percy Grigg" 
        picture = "M1181" 
        position = ArmamentMinister 
        category = market_liberal 
        cabinet = replacement 
        trait = 10 
        year = 1942 
        }

for example.
