📋 About This Mod

Feel free to go and rate it if you enjoyed my mods during those two last years :)
Hello everyone ! As probably many of you, I used to use the Character Import/Export mod back in the days. But since TW changed how the XP is managed, this tool doesn't work fully anymore, especially on the save of the experience. I know some other mods exist which allow to modify the heroes data from the game, but I wanted a simple tool as the CIE was, with a textfile to edit allowing easy modification. Maybe other people will want it too, so I share ^^
Two mod versions
- Console : only commands via the console. More compatible with anything usualy.
- GUI : Save / Load command also available in Encyclopedia
What can you change / transfer ?
- Death status
- Clan leaders relation
- Influence
- Encyclopedia biography
- Focus and attributes
- Equipment
- Unlocked crafting parts
- Settlements
How does it work ?
== Classic usage
[]character_manager.save HeroName : Save the data of the character HeroName
[]character_manager.load HeroName : Import the data of the character HeroName
Notes :
- You can use HeroName "main" to save/load the main character
- You can use HeroName "companions" to save/load ALL your companions at once
- Renown, influence, partner, equipment and crafting pieces are NOT loaded by default. Toogle them in the txt file (xxxActivated=true)
[]character_manager.load_all_companions : Import (and create if needed) all txt files with the data companion=true as companions
[]character_manager.reset HeroName : All attributes at 1, perks reset, focus at 0, and all points available (skills level NOT changed)
[]character_manager.resetfull HeroName : Reset attributes, skills, level, total experience, focus and perks (big thanks to rayler for the tip !)
[]character_manager.godmode HeroName : All stats boosted, all perks (except Rogue Extraordinaire, apparently broken in 1. 5. 7) and adds 1m denars to the character
[]character_manager.godmode_for_all : All stats boosted for every Hero in your save
[]character_manager.rename intialName , newName : Rename a character. Allows to temporary rename a character if two characters have the same name. Initial name is not case sensitive. You can use spaces in names. Names are trimmed, so if you add spaces after or before a name, they won't be used (example : bob the something , bob the other thing will be read as bob the something , bob the other thing without additional spaces). Comma is mandatory.
[*]character_manager.help : Shows an help with command examples
Those use case are some simple example. You can do more complicated stuff with the command, but I'll stay simple for the sake of explanation.
Transfer your hero from a save to another
ORIGINAL SAVE
character_manager.save mainHeroName
A file mainHeroName.txt should be created in your documents

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 3,561 endorsements and 185k downloads show it's a go-to tool.
- Flexible editing: text file approach lets you tweak almost any character stat without complex UI.
- Two versions cater to different playstyles: console for minimal UI, GUI for convenience.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires manual file editing, which can be intimidating for non-technical players.
- Some data fields are hidden by default and need manual activation, adding a learning curve.
- Last updated December 2025, but no explicit confirmation of compatibility with the latest game patch.
For Bannerlord players who want to fine-tune their characters or transfer them between saves, especially those who miss the old Character Import/Export mod. It's perfect for roleplayers and modders who enjoy editing text files. Skip if you prefer in-game menus over manual file editing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the GUI version if you're new to console commands; it adds save/load buttons in the Encyclopedia.
- When editing the text file, look for fields with 'false' and change to 'true' to unlock advanced data like settlements.
- Always back up your save before loading edited data, as mistakes can corrupt character data.
