Overview

The add_stress command is used to manually increase or decrease the stress level of a specific character in the game.

Each character in Crusader Kings III has a stress level, which is affected by the character’s traits, events, decisions, lifestyle, and so forth. This level dictates the character's general well-being.

The stress level is typically earned naturally by the player's decisions, but it can also be manually adjusted using this command.

If you want to use this command, the syntax is: add_stress [amount] [character id]. The amount is the quantity of stress you want to add or subtract, and the character id is the id of the character you want to affect.

If you don't specify a character ID, the command will apply to your player character by default.

For example, if you want to add 100 stress to your character, you would use the command add_stress 100. To subtract 100 stress, you would use add_stress -100.

This command is helpful in testing the game's stress-related mechanics. For instance, you can manipulate the stress level to trigger different events or conditions, or to see how high stress levels affect the character's decisions and health.

It can be an interesting tool for experimenting with character traits or simulating various scenarios and outcomes in the game.

How to Open the Command Console

In CK3, 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 .
