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 vampire\cfg folder located in your main
Bloodlines folder.

The default is: C:\Program Files\Activision\Vampire - Bloodlines\vampire\cfg

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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically each clan has a specific set of histories they can choose from, but
there are a few histories that more then one clan have access to. Those are
listed first under "General", while the clan specific ones are listed under
their respective clan.
