I am using Visual Studio Code, which is free (works on all OS). You can use any simple editor (Notepad, Gedit, Sublime Text, etc). Prep Workīefore we jump in, let's talk about what you need to make an EU4 game mod.Įditor: You will need some sort of text editor to create & modify files.
In fact, I am going to do a mini series where I take what you learn here and show you how to modify it slightly for Crusader Kings 2, Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris. While this series is focusing on Europa Universalis 4, the general ideas can be brought over to some of the other Paradox Interactive games, such as Crusader Kings 2 (another great game). But one of the hassles is often the outdated documentation or just lack of it. Something else I enjoy is game modding (and slowly making my own games with Unit圓D). It's my way of supporting something I really enjoy. With their games, I usually pre-order them and all the DLC as it comes out. I love, love, love Paradox Interactive games. The goal is to cut through all the noise and extra data out there so you get a fairly right-to-the-point experience, which will get you game modding quickly. In this series, I'm going to take you through the process of making a fairly simple mod, which will lay the foundation for more advanced mods. Welcome to the first part of my series of tutorials on making game mods for Europa Universalis 4. Let's Build a Elder Scrolls Online Mod - Part 1.
