Bastards Only!!

[Alex(España)]

Hi, i have a issue with newborn when are men in my England campaign. All of them are bastards(only men), If were 1 or 2 is ok but everyone?!! I have 5 bastards right now and is specially painful that 2 of 3(the third have 11 years so dont know if he will be bastard too)sons of Henry Plantagenet are bastards....

I think this must be a bug that needs fixing xd

Thanks for your help.

Don't think this is a bug. There is quite a lot of traits that can cause this. For example if your general has spent many years in a settlement with a pleasure palace or brothel etc, its only a matter of chance until he probably decides to go in if he has a lot of other despicable traits. Try looking for traits that seem deplorable in his description. Also has to do with the wife traits, if she is... to be generous... not attractive... there is a big chance he will father children from a more attractive woman in secrecy. The traits for wife just say "decrease chance of having children" but think of it as "decreased chance for HER, not him".

Overall this is very annoying, but makes sense historically for some minded individuals. And if one is a bastard, theres a pretty good chance he didn't stop with one with that woman so... also the fact that if one is known as bastard the nobles may look down on any others as potential bastard too. So, in my eyes, not a bug, but unlucky, but also not to be unexpected!

Hi there! That definitely sounds frustrating and unusual. It does seem like it could be a bug, especially if it's only happening with male children and consistently across your campaign. Here are a few steps you might try to troubleshoot or potentially fix the issue:


Check for Mod Updates: Make sure you have the latest version of the mod installed. Sometimes bugs like these are fixed in updates.


Verify Game Files: If you're using a platform like Steam, you can verify the integrity of the game files to ensure nothing is corrupted. This can sometimes resolve weird issues.


Reinstall the Mod: Try uninstalling and reinstalling the mod. This can help if there was an issue during the initial installation.


Check Mod Forums: Look for any similar reports from other players on the mod's official forums or community boards. There might be a known issue or a specific fix available.


Backup and Reload: If you have a save file from before the issue started, try loading it to see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, playing from that save might avoid the bug.


Contact Mod Developers: If all else fails, reaching out to the mod developers with a detailed description of the issue can be helpful. They might be able to offer a fix or include it in a future update.


In the meantime, you might also consider manually legitimizing your bastards if the mod or game allows for that, to mitigate the impact on your campaign.


Hope this helps, and happy gaming!
