In-Depth Description

The print_modifiers command is used in Europa Universalis IV to create a file recording all the active game state modifiers currently in use. Game state modifiers include things like penalties or bonuses, which can affect aspects such as population growth, economic output, military strength, stability, and many more.

When the command print_modifiers is executed, a new text file is created in your computer's Europa Universalis IV folder under \Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\. This file will include a list of all active game state modifiers, including details of each specific modifier.

This command is helpful for players who want a quick and easy way to understand the current state of the game. It allows players to identify which modifiers are impacting their game and to what extent. This can help in devising strategies to overcome penalties or to take full advantage of bonuses.

It's especially useful if you are in the middle of a complex game state and need to understand all the factors currently impacting your gameplay. Also, it could be very informative for debugging purposes if you suspect that something is not working as intended within your game.

How to Open the Command Console

In EU4, cheats are executed from the command console, a text box that you type commands into.

To open the command console press the ~(tilde) key, which is typically located under ESC (escape).

If your keyboard does not have that key, or pressing ~ does not work, try the following keys:

  • ~
  • SHIFT + 2
  • SHIFT + 3
  • ALT + 2 + 1

Type your command into the console, and then press ENTER .
