ruler designer; working as intended?

[kevin1999777]

I am trying to set up a game with my favorite rulers from History. For example I made Isabella of Spain and gave her what should be (as close as i can get to) Spain's modern day borders. Next I wanted to make Maria of Portugal but when I loaded up the save it wouldn't let me use ruler designer to create her. Is this a bug or working as intended? Kind of bummed tbh. I was going to edit the entire map with all my favorite rulers from history and then put myself as the king of England or something and then play through the middle ages. : /

The RD only let's you customize your character, not other ones. If you want to swap out other characters you are going to need to do some modding.

Thank you for the reply! Do you know of any particular mod I need to use? I still quite new to this game.

It's all customizable in the history file I think. You'll also have to change the landed title file. Create a mod example: my mod and put it in documents/paradox/crusader kings 2/mod folder and copy paste the common/history files in your : my mod file then change the landed titles and the people files with notepad++.
See the ck2 wiki to learn how to do there. It will be long but it's doable.

Thank you for the reply! I'm going to give it a shot and see how it goes. I've never tried to make a mod before. It will be very much worth the effort if it actually works.

If you need help you are better off asking the regulars in the mod sub forum. The ones who work on total conversion mods know a lot about changing the history files.

This comment is presupposing you are not in Ironman:

Would he not be able to switch to playing any top tier ruler of whatever kingdom using the "play CharID" command, back out to the lobby screen and then ruler edit them?
