If you’re familiar with previous Clausewitz engine games, such as Imperator: Rome, accessing the console in Crusader Kings 3 should be a familiar process. On Steam, you’ll want to right-click the game in your library, choose Properties, and then append -debug_mode in the Launch Options field within the dialog box. Alternatively, for Windows users, creating a shortcut, right-clicking it, selecting Properties, and appending debug_mode to the text in the Target field will achieve the same result.”

Once you’ve followed the above steps, the CK3 console should be accessible by pressing the tilde (`) key.

Before we dive into our comprehensive list of CK3 console commands and cheats, it’s worth mentioning the additional possibilities offered by the game’s debug mode, achievable with just a single button press.

Located directly beneath the console, there are several handy buttons, including those for enabling or disabling the AI, Yesmen (ensuring AI always replies affirmatively or negatively), and instant character demise. Furthermore, buttons for immediate prestige, piety, and gold gains or losses are available.
