Possible to Change Character's Age mid-game?

[Diamat]

Is it possible to change a character's age mid-game? If so, how?

I am asking because my royal line is about to die out because my FL is not producing an heir, and I want to give him a couple more years to produce a son. I know it's cheating, but I need to do it for role-playing purposes. Once I have a son, I will just kill my FL.

Or maybe there is a way to manually edit a file so as to input a son? Either way, any help would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure you can't do that mid-game unfortunately.

One way I have found of avoiding your situation is to accept less/not accept adoptions and male members from marriages, meaning the script will start producing biological family members to meet the regions/family member ratio.

Yeah I realized that just recently and, accordingly, killed off some of those adopted gnomes. However, it was a little bit too late to do that and now my FL is about to die. I wish there was some file I could just edit. Hmmm, is there a cheat like "set_date" for age? Or, if I change the date, will the ages change too?

go to SS6.3 data folder and open the "descr_campaign_db" file

scroll down until u find this

<family_tree>
<max_age uint="100"/>
<max_age_for_marriage_for_male uint="60"/>
<max_age_for_marriage_for_female uint="40"/>
<max_age_before_death uint="105"/>
<max_age_of_child uint="10"/>
<old_age uint="85"/>

if u change those a little bit mainly max_age uint max_age_before_death uint and old_age unit then he should live longer
but make sure your leader has less that 4 adopted or dead sons/ daughters, because if he has 4 relations than he won't be getting more childs ever.
it might be u have to change conception too, otherwise your wife won't get pregnant if shes too old

Thanks, hopefully that will keep him alive long enough. I just wish there was a way to edit savegames. +Rep

I don't think that will be save game compatible, but it will help for future campaigns.

It is save game compatible.
