Overview

The bypass_requirements command in Crusader Kings III is used to remove the limitations or restrictions associated with various game features.

  1. Player decisions: Normally, there are certain prerequisites to make certain decisions in the game, like possessing a certain amount of wealth, certain character traits, or fulfilling particular objectives. This command allows the player to bypass these prerequisites, allowing the player to make decisions irrespective of the game state.

  2. Interactions: Interactions in CK3 could be between your character and another character, and these too have restrictions. For instance, marrying off your character or your children to someone else could require a certain title rank or diplomatic status. This command ignores those requirements.

  3. Schemes: Schemes are plans to execute various actions against other characters. They might range from murder to improving relations. Various factors, such as the character's skills, traits, or disposition towards you, could limit your ability to hatch specific schemes. This command bypasses those limitations.

  4. Laws: Changing laws of your realm in CK3 normally has requirements, such as a minimal amount of prestige or certain conditions within your realm. The bypass_requirements command removes these requirements.

  5. Title creation: Creating a new title usually has requirements related to prestige, wealth, and land ownership. This command would bypass those requirements.

  6. Royal court language and struggle endings: These features are a part of the Royal Court DLC and involve various cultural and prestige-related requirements. This command would allow you to bypass these requirements.

In summary, this command gives you the ability to freely manipulate certain aspects of the game without fulfilling the usual requirements, essentially freeing you from the usual constraints of the game mechanics.

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 .
