@ExMachina14 it certainly should. Hasn’t been a major CK2 update in a long time.

(Also, to all who requested my tweaks 5 years ago I am very sorry lol)

Does this mod still work?

@Scarm That's understandable, thank you for your work on this mod anyway :)

@Flowers Mind sharing it as well?

Hey Flowers, since i am not currently playing CK2 anymore, feel free to release your tweaked version yourself :)

Hey Flowers I'd be interested by your tweaks if you're willing to share

"Following that since they still aren't your "real children," can claim them again and it gives them claims to your OWN titles. Not that it matters, just found it weird."

I have now made it so that it isn't possible to "reveal real father" on your own children. If you want my tweaks so that you can see them and toss them into the mod yourself, just let me know.

This is exactly what I was looking for.

I have like... no idea how to mod so you saved my life sir.

However I found it weird that this didn't add the legit_bastard trait to the child that you reveal, so I made myself my own variation that does add that, also one that give me the option for daughters.

I noticed a strange forthcoming with this as well. If the real father is a different lover than you, you can still call for that secret bastard to become your own. One of my lovers had sons from some random other-lover and I accidentally claimed them lol

Following that since they still aren't your "real children," can claim them again and it gives them claims to your OWN titles. Not that it matters, just found it weird.

Thanks man.

@KaiserFeet Your character can't be female. The targetted characters ingame displayed father has to be a fake one. You are a lover or former lover of the targeted characters mother. Targeted Character has a opinion of 50 or higher of you.

@Pawkkie that should be doable, you mainly would have to change stuff in the potential sections for targets and choice makers, but that shouldnt be all too hard.

Does anyone know what the Precise Conditions are for the Option to show up?

I'm a pretty rookie CK2 modder myself, and I'm trying to figure out how to apply the exact same thing this mod does, but that can also be used on daughters and can also be used by a female player character in addition to a male one. D'you think your mod would adapt to this easily, or d'you think there are some fundamental things that'd need to change? Thanks for the sweet mod btw :)

lol nice
Scarm  [author] 3 Jan, 2020 @ 10:25am 
Well they in theory could, in practice i disabled that for the time being.

Hi one question, will the AI able to do this as well?
Vaeringjar 14 Dec, 2019 @ 7:14pm 
maybe there should be a chance of no-one believing the claim?

also, I'm kinda confused by this part of the description "and THEN reveal his origins to him to immediately make him ruler"
raguel 2 Dec, 2019 @ 1:56am 
ok will do, thanks
Scarm  [author] 2 Dec, 2019 @ 1:52am 
Sure thing. Would be nice if credit was given at some point though.
raguel 1 Dec, 2019 @ 11:48pm 
Hey. I'm trying to get the mods I use to work with the community patch mod. Is it ok if I combine your mods with others for upload?

You should probably at least lose some piety for this though, but it sounds really fun! You could also let the cuckold get the "rivalry" CB against you, would seem fitting if the ruler in question is, say, the Byzantine emperor.
Scarm  [author] 22 Sep, 2019 @ 2:32pm 
It 100% works. You probably don't fulfill some of the conditions.
tilarium 16 Aug, 2019 @ 9:20pm 
Awesome, thank you for this mod. Going to add it to my list for my next play through. This is something that's always annoyed me. Watching my bastard son grow up under another father and turn into a strong and powerful candidate

Not sure if you knew about the steamworkshop downloader, but there is a link, try it out, i cant imagine living without it.

To add what to Lioth said, I suppose if its public knowledge your lover is somebody's wife and then she has kids, you could spread rumours and seed doubts on the legitimacy of the kids. Before outright revealing the kids true lineage. Would actually be a pretty schemey rp way to discredit future rulers or maybe stealth bastardize an heir.
Scarm  [author] 16 Jul, 2019 @ 9:22am 
Lioth you should indeed be able to pretend to be the father of kids, IF YOU KNOW THAT THEIR SUPPOSED FATHER ISNT THEIR REAL ONE. This isn't intended, but due to technical limitations the only feasible and reasonable possibility, i.e. there are no other ways to "scope" (CK2 code way to refer to something) to the father in the way you need (in the "from_potential" type of code section that determines who can potentially take a decision), because unrevealed bastard children don't count as your children even though the game knows they are. All clear? ;)
Loosee 15 Jul, 2019 @ 9:13pm 
Maybe I understand it wrong, but you can reveal father only if you are the real father? Your description makes me think I can do this to all kids of my lover even of the kids that aren't mine.
