trouble with characters not having kids

[tvalentine]

my 2 youngest men are beginning to age, and i just saw they have the "wife is barren" trait .... so i was wondering if someone could tell me how to type the "O" with the apostrophe above it or accent mark (irish faction, O Briains)


BTW great patch, love the changes. Also is there a way to make your family members have kids?

[tvalentine]

there is no one out there who can help me? ..........

I believe, though am not sure, that you either just put the O with the name as in "Timothy OBrian" or you use an underscore as in "Timothy O_Brian." I had this problem before and solved it just by trial and error, but I don't remember how I solved it. Sorry if this doesn't help.

I too have had trouble getting my generals to have children even after giving them high fertility traits. Anyone else?

[vonKrysiak]

Well remember that the ammount of family members (births/adoptions/man of the hour) are all connected to the ammount of provinces you have. If you have 2 provinces and spare generals you will never see man of the hour and I am quite sure births are also connected to that...

modify the descrcharactertraits file for fertility traits to be more effective & give them to all general/ princesses

Wow, you're having fertility problems but in my game I'm not having any difficulty at all! In fact one of my generals was able to produce a child all on his own.

Awesome! Do you know, by chance, if this requires starting a new campaign? Sorry if that's an ignorant question but I have trouble keeping track of which changes require a new game and which do not.

If you want to give characters the fertility trait in a current campaign, you could always use the cheat "give_trait".

So for example, you were playing England and wanted to give Geoffrey Plantagenet the trait you press the tilde key [`] to bring up the console and type;

give_trait "Geoffery Plantagenet" "Fertile"3

This in turn will give the intended family member the "Prolific" trait, as it adds a significant boost to you chances of having kids.

i would do that if i knew how to type an "o" with an accent mark above it ..... also do you type the quotation marks in the cheat also?

I understand that, and have done that, but I was wondering if I needed to start a new campaign if I edited the descrcharactertraits file for fertility traits to be more effective. I'm guessing I probably do. Thanks for the help by the way.

@ DrMumbo- you do not have to start a new campaign

it is much easier just to do this cheat- *with character selected outside of settlement & not under the command of a higher ranking general* give_trait this Fertile 3
