Complete CK3 Trait IDs List and Guide (Easy Cheats for Crusader Kings 3)

Alright, let’s talk about how I got those Crusader Kings 3 trait IDs. It was a bit of a wild ride, let me tell you.

Started Simple

So, first I tried to find an easy way, thought maybe some website has already listed these ids out for me. I searched on the internet for a while, found some forum posts and stuff, but nothing solid. Most of the posts were old, and a lot of the information didn’t seem right. So, I decided to roll up my sleeves and do it the hard way.

Digging into the Game Files

Next, I jumped into the game files themselves. I found the CK3 folder and started poking around. It was a little confusing, I’ll admit. Lots of folders and files, but I was determined.

I found the “common” folder, then went into “traits”.
Inside, I saw a bunch of text files. Each one had the traits.

Decoding the Text Files

I opened up those text files, and they were kind of a mess at first. But I noticed a pattern. Each trait had a name and then a number next to it. That had to be the ID! I started to copy these numbers down, making a list for myself.

Testing the IDs

With my list in hand, I launched CK3 and started a new game. I wanted to see if these IDs were correct, so I used the console command “add_trait”. I typed in a few IDs, and bam! It worked like a charm. The traits appeared on my character, just like I wanted.

Organizing My Findings

Feeling like a champ, I went back and finished copying all the IDs from those files. I put them into a spreadsheet, organized by type and stuff. It took a while, but I finally had a complete list of all the CK3 trait IDs.

Sharing with the Community

Once I was done, I thought, “Hey, why keep this to myself?” So, I posted my spreadsheet on a few CK3 forums. People really appreciated it! Got some nice comments and messages. It was a good feeling to help out other players.

And that’s the story of how I got all those CK3 trait IDs. It wasn’t super easy, but it was definitely rewarding. Plus, now I can make my characters super OP, which is always fun! Hope this was helpful to you, happy gaming!
