Skiar’s Cheats Menu v1.3.0 – (New: Character Editor)

GUI.CreateWidget gui/skiar_cheat_button_placement.gui skiar_cheat_button_overlay
This will place the button in the bottom left corner instead.
Take full control of your Europa Universalis V campaign with this cheat menu! Access powerful modifiers and adjustments through an interface accessible right from the top bar next to the game date.
The cheat menu now includes a full character editor — modify any character in your realm, not just your ruler!
To get started, open any character menu and click Set Cheat Target to select them as your active target. All character edits will then apply to that character until you change the target.
Once a target is set, you can:
- Skills – modify ADM, DIP and MIL
- Vital Stats – edit fertility and life expectancy
- Traits – add or remove traits
The v1.2.1 rebuild standardised all internal modifier names, which means old modifiers from previous versions are no longer supported or localised.
If you are loading a save that had modifiers active from an older version:
- Open the cheat menu
- Click the Clean Legacy Save button
- This will remove all old modifiers from your save, preventing crashes

Note: You will need to re-enable any modifiers you want active. This only needs to be done once.
