CK3 character creation: Barbershop and ruler designer guide

Looking to modify your CK3 character and design a ruler fit for the throne? History is full of tales of ambitious players catfishing their way to positions of immense power, and while your character's aesthetics in Crusader Kings 3 won't actually hamper their fight for power, it would be nice to have a little more control over how they look.

If you have played previous Crusader Kings games then the lack of any obvious character creator might come as a shock to you given that CK2 had a pretty versatile ruler designer added as DLC. Crusader Kings 3 doesn't have this as a launch feature, but there are some options for changing your ruler's aesthetic that you may not be aware of. It's also worth noting that Paradox has said that CK3 character creator is coming post-launch and will be free.

If you do want to make some small changes to your ruler's hair and clothing then there's the Barbershop option, which is tucked away beneath a couple of panels. And, if you're impatient and looking to make some drastic aesthetic tweaks then we have a couple of CK3 mods to check out.
