How to Enable Histories
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First you have to make sure you have the console enabled. If you don't know how 
to do this, instructions are at the bottom of this guide.

Once that's done, go into your vampirecfg folder located in your main 
Bloodlines folder. 

The default is: C:Program FilesActivisionVampire - Bloodlinesvampirecfg

Now find the Config.cfg file. Open it with notepad, scroll down to the bottom, 
and add this line: vchar_edit_histories "1"

Then, just save the file.

Now, when you start a new game, you'll have the opportunity to choose a history.

WARNING: Sometimes the game will crash after selecting a history, this is 
normal and happens seemingly at random. Simply start the game back up and 
choose the history again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
