As the title says its rare that i see any of my vassals with negative opinions which makes the game very easier so i was wondering if anybody has modified the opinions modifier file to reduce the opinion bonuses

Exactly. Even with Conclae, I sometimes have all significant vassals with 100 opinion, but that's a Strong Genius liege full of virtues with a long reign.

Little bit more of a story. Everything was going well for me when a small endemic killed my immediate family putting an imbecile in charge of my holdings. That was a fun/rough ride for a while but by the end of it at least I got to "purge" the dissidents.

I don't know what character you're playing or what you're trying to do, but I never experience this "issue" since Conclave. If I can have all count- and above-tier direct vassals actually above 0 opinion for a long time (required for changing a succession law), that is a good day. I generally do not Ruler Design, and Conclave education prevents me from making God-characters for future generations, but I am a skilled CK2 player, so clearly something different is going on in our campaigns.
i never use ruler designer and all though i do not use conclave i never educate my own children. I have just stared playing hip and this is my only problem i find with the mod. i may just start playing with conclave on (reluctantly) and if you would like an example of my issue just load up a game as king salamon hungry 1066. salamon has a regency and out of his 21 vassals only 1 has a negative opinion of him at -16
Honestly, if you're a good ruler and offer positions of power to your most powerful vassals, people will generally be fairly happy with your rule. It's the same reason why we hear so much about the terrible kings of history or other notable ones but very little about those who simply ruled well. If you're a tyrant or simply a bad king, you'll not have high opinions. If you're a good king, I see no reason why you SHOULD be experiencing internal discontent.

It's easy enough to mod the positive opinions in the game down, though. A few regex search-replaces in common/opinion_modifiers/ and you can [essentially] halve everything positive [again].
See, I'm always trying to push as much reform / authority as I can get away with pushing over my vassals, so I don't find it difficult to be disliked or even hated by enough of them to continually keep me on my toes or even being deposed and fighting my way back up. If there's not authority / reform to keep pushing and my vassals still love me unconditionally, well, that never happens by design _if I'm looking for difficulty and uncertainty with that character_.

yeh i have already began to mod some of the opinions but one thing thats bugging me is the age related opinions e.g the child -10 opinion. do you know what file you find them in
That's caused by age_child = { vassal_opinion = -10 } in common/static_modifiers.txt.
