Looking for little help with ck.

[Naelnor]

Hello, I cant figure out how to change the year^^

What I'm trying to do is to change in-game time from 2287 to 2120.

And I don't mean the console command, I'm trying to learn how to do it in CK^^

Anyone has a clue where I should look for it? First I thought its somewhere in the .ini files, but sadly its not;/ So I bet I can do it with CK, I watched a tone of tutorials, but sadly cant figure out where to look for the year;/

 

Help would be really appreciated:)

Year is defined by a global variable. You can find it in the CK if you type "year". But changing the number in the CK won't affect the year in game. The game uses a virtual copy of the variable that is baked into saves. To change it, you would need to write a script to mod this variable.

GlobalVariable Property Year Auto Const

Event OnQuestInit() 
Year.Mod(xx.xx) ;  the x  must  be replaced  with  some numbers.  I.e. if you want time to move forward  10 years,   you would replace  it with 10.00. 
;It's better to use mod  function than setvalue,  so you can always mod it back to the original  by  running the same function  with  the negative (-xx.xx) value. 
;To go back in time you just use  a negative number with the Mod script function. 
EndEvent

Also there is PassTime script function. Not sure if it can work this way ( going back in time) ,but maybe using negative values can work with it too. No guarantee though.

Wrong forum, and you didn't even specify which game (which I presume is Fallout 4).

 

Anyhow, it is set by the the Global "GameYear" in the main esp. Default is "287", so just change it to "120" and start a new game.

 

Edit: if you want to modify a game in progress, you would need a script that uses "UpdateCurrentInstanceGlobal(GameYear)" to update the actual value on the appropriate Quest. FFDiamondCity07Fin seems to be the only quest using this variable.
