mnmn565 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 View File Adultery & Affairs Requirements: * Carnalitas 2.15 * Phaze's Additional Degeneracy 3.2 Adultery & Affairs adds a full affair lifecycle to Crusader Kings III, centered on clandestine relationships and their consequences. Players and AI can pursue seduction opportunities, establish secret affairs, and face escalating suspicion, investigations, and discovery events with multiple outcomes (caught in the act, rumors, or a revealed bastard). Choices include exposure, blackmail, imprisonment, divorce, or forgiveness, with stress, prestige, and opinion shifts that reflect the fallout. Ongoing trysts and relationship development can deepen bonds (including soulmate outcomes) or end through distance, guilt, or mutual breakups, supported by temporary modifiers. The system runs on story-cycle pulses with quarterly affair events, yearly discovery checks, and automatic cleanup when affairs end. Game rules let you enable/disable and control frequency (rare/normal/frequent). Integration hooks are included for Carnalitas. When Updating: Ensure you delete the Adultery & Affairs folder from the previous version before installing the new version as files may get removed/deleted throughout development. Do NOT just overwrite files when updating to future versions. How it works: Spoiler System Overview How the System Activates The system runs through two main entry points: Primary: random_yearly_playable_pulse → adultery_affairs_quarterly_pulse (main controller) Fallback: adultery_affairs_yearly_pulse (bootstrap for active affairs) What the Pulse Does Re-creates story cycles for any active affairs Initiates new affair attempts for eligible female rulers Initiates new affair attempts for eligible male rulers and unlanded wives Eligibility Requirements Female Characters (is_eligible_for_affairs) Must meet all of these: Adult, female, married, not imprisoned Mod not disabled Has at least one of these traits: lustful, deceitful, sadistic, adulterer, fornicator, rakish, disloyal, degen_slut Male Characters (is_eligible_for_affairs_male) Must meet all of these: Adult, male, married, not imprisoned Mod not disabled Has at least one of these traits: lustful, deceitful, sadistic, adulterer, fornicator, rakish, disloyal Partner Selection Valid Target Requirements Same top liege as initiator Not the initiator's current spouse Not imprisoned Adult Desirability score ≥ 0 (calculated from traits) Positive Traits: Trait Weight degen_prized_stud +4 conqueror, athletic, strong +3 each lustful +2 brave, ambitious, profligate, gregarious +1 each beauty_good (1/2/3) +1/+2/+3 dick_big_good (1/2/3/4) +1/+2/+3/+4 Negative Traits: Trait Weight scaly, dwarf, hunchbacked -3 each beauty_bad (3/2/1) -3/-2/-1 chaste -2 dick_small_bad (1/2/3) -1/-2/-3 craven, dull, impotent, disfigured -1 each Affair Probability (Will They Try?)

Secret Trysts (adultery_affairs.0300) Base chance: 25% Modified by: lustful/chaste traits, game rules Effects: Increments suspicion counter Stress/opinion changes May branch to sub-events (guilt, emotional bonding, lover's perspective) Carnalitas integration (if active) 2.

I have played this mod for a few hours and have not had any issues with my particular modlist but this is subjective and you may have issues with your particular modlist. Plans for the future: - More events? - More branching outcomes? - Other stuff I come up with that are interesting I've made this mod on a whim so there is no particular direction I am taking with it. I am open to any suggestions and ideas. Credits: Cheri Song for the amazing carnalitas framework. Phaze Star for the multitude of mods that are now an integral part of my playlist.

Phaze Star Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Wow this mod sounds interesting! Congradulations on the public release! 👍
hellohelloish Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Congrats! Are there any mods that you would assume be incompatible - or are there any mods which are for sure compatible?

Are there any mods that you would assume be incompatible - or are there any mods which are for sure compatible? I can't think of any conflicts right away as this mod does not modify any base game behaviours, it ties into the base games lover and secrets system as is. Edited January 29 by mnmn565 2
Lyskorie Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Love to see a new mod hit the scene. Minimally (or not at all) modifying base game systems is always a big plus. Should note that it appears that the mod doesn't really check for anything else from Additional Degeneracy outside of certain traits. If that's the case, AD wouldn't be a strict requirement, though the game will certainly throw a fuss about referring to nonexistent traits. 1

Thank you for the support, and yes you could say that Additional Degeneracy is not a hard requirement but I like to keep my error logs clean of any issues, regardless of how minor it could be. It also helps people who are new to modding that might not understand the implications of certain errors in mods and begin to wonder if the mod is causing any issues they might be facing. 2
mpoynar32 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Do outcomes or odds of events firing change at all based on religion tenets/doctrines? Such as a religion that accepts adultery making success chance increased or husbands/wives more likely to forgive? Or a religion that exalts sex having a higher firing rate?

No, the mod currently does not take religion tenets/doctrines into consideration, although it is something I can look into implementing.
Durante Posted February 2 Posted February 2 How about some mechanics for adventurers? Maybe some rumor based events for a adventurer/camp ruler who has many spouses/concubines for jealousy/rivalry etc

lingzang963 Posted February 7 Posted February 7 This MOD doesn't seem to be working? How should I sort it correctly?

On 2/5/2026 at 12:11 AM, iurgnodoahz said: it doesn't seem work？ If you turn on debug mode, there is a debug decision to enable notifications for when affairs are established between any characters in the world. In my game, there is a new affair established about every 20-30 seconds at full game speed with a world population of 40k people. Let me know how it behaves in your game.
793t2bvbwucgf87dsui Posted February 11 Posted February 11 This is a really cool idea for a mod, but I played for around 50 years or so across a few different saves and didn't really get any events, even though the game rule was set to 'frequent' 🥲 The debug decision to enable notifications was activated, so I could see it was getting triggered for other NPCs but it didn't seem to fire for my character or their spouse for some reason. Both my character and their spouse had lustful, low opinion of each other, etc. Maybe another debug decision to force it to trigger for the player character or their spouse, or maybe some game rule that forces the initial event to fire for the player character or their spouse after x years, or something similar would be a really awesome addition.

I will look into why it doesn't trigger for the player character, but I won't be home for the next week. I won't be able to update until March most likely. Edited February 11 by mnmn565 2
793t2bvbwucgf87dsui Posted February 20 Posted February 20 The event eventually triggered for my character in a new save, so I guess there's nothing wrong with the mod. It was probably just bad rng, or maybe I'm just really unlucky lol

Tоucher Posted March 31 Posted March 31 ck3 have poor character story generator and you doing great job. This mod really good
ivanmrzv Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Is it possible to make a version that doesn't require "Phaze's Additional Degeneracy 3.2" mod? Or, alternatively, a guide for a user to edit files, so the mod will work without Phaze's one? 4
