Mod Idea: All Females

[Scarper Jacques]

Would anyone want this if it was made? Would anyone make it (I'm a lawyer and have approximately 0 programming skills)? Is it even possible?

 

An alternate world where there are no men. Lesbianism would be a thing, obvs. Babies still happen, just don't ask how!

 

Amazon mod is part-way there.

 

Dude looks like female also part-way there.

Right now it seems impossible cuz I believe the related parts are hard coded, which means that only the Paradox’s developers can make changes.

I wouldn't say impossible but a ridiculous amount of work. Remove generation of men. Make a way to spawn women (easy). Rebuild all the inheritance stuff into something not shit (very very hard)

I think you can use create_character to generate a girl and set her mom. Not sure whether she'll inherit DNA from her mom, but it could be playable, if women reproduce via Budding. A custom pregnancy traits/events could be made even. Wouldn't say it's too hard to make this mod, but I don't see why you would even need it.

Yeah but I meant it'd be hard if you wanted something that was still playable. But that's basically how my amazons work right now. If you spawn some one with only the female as the mother they will be more like clones in looks. And yeah traits only go over through normal pregancy. Basically everything would have to be remade.

Marriage is hard coded to be between a man and a woman, so a significant part of the game would have to be reworked.

Altering the generation of new characters isn't difficult, but fixing all the resulting broken gameplay mechanics definitely would be.

Well, at least I learned something! Thanks all for interesting nuggets of info.

I would really like to see this and an all males mod done. It could become useful later as frameworks for asexual species like orcs or dwarves or ents in future mods too!

This seems like a weird oversight in early development, one of things they really pushed for in the early dev diaries and announcements is telling us that religion and culture are reworked in such a way that we really get to customize things in depth to our liking should we choose to. It feels weird to be playing with a reformed religion (accepting of homosexuality) in an elective monarchy where I get to choose any random person in my family to be my heir and yet I have to marry the opposite gender even if my character is homosexual, like what gives?
