Frequently asked questions
Is there a console command to pick a specific government reform in EU4?
No — there's no command that sets an exact reform by id. Instead, reformprogress gives you government reform progress so you can pass the next reform tier and choose the reform you want in-game.
How do I get government reform progress with the console?
Use reformprogress (it adds 500 points by default), or reformprogress <points> to add a specific amount. Once you have enough progress you can pick the next reform in the government screen.
How do I reset my government reforms in EU4?
Use clearreforms to remove all of your government reforms, then re-pick them from the first tier.
