Ethnicity Export/Import

[Muzamba]

Where is a player's ethnicity stored? And more importantly, can it be easily edited by doing a CSV export, changing the values, and re-importing?

In the player editor, there is a dropdown for "Facial Type". So, each player's ethnicity can be edited in the game. Plus, you can edit the ethnicities and percentages for nations for newly created players from that country.

If you want to do a mass ethnicity change for existing players, then you'd have to export/import like you're thinking. Not exactly sure where in the export files the ethnicity is, though. I'd have to play with that.

Yes, this is what I was wanting to do. Please let me know if you figure out how it's done.

Thanks.

That's how to change the ethnicities in general, but it won't help you to mass change ethnicities for already existing players. Unless you're saying that re-importing the ethnicities file will go through and re-do all the existing players? I don't think that's true, but maybe I'm wrong.
