Overview

The instant_birth command instantly shortens the duration of pregnancies in the game.

When this command is activated, any character who becomes pregnant will give birth to their child on the very next day.

This console command can drastically change the pace of your game. It effectively removes the time period of nine months that typically elapses in-game before a new child character is added to your dynasty.

This can be especially useful if you're trying to grow your dynasty quickly or if a character's age is near the limit for childbearing years.

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 .
