Description
BETA: Unhappy with the way the game partitions your land? Think that you could do a better job? Well, maybe you should write your own testament...

On death, you have a new option to write your testament. For this, click "Or as someone else?" and then enter the "Testament" section. Here, all your heirs will be listed and you've got the option to give them titles there. When you're happy with your final will, click the "Enact" button and then continue as whoever you want to.

Depending on the game rule you chose, some restrictions apply. In the restricted mode, every heir needs to get exactly as many titles of every tier as the game would give him.
In the limited mode, every heir needs to get at least one title.
In the unrestricted mode, you can do whatever you want.

I've made this mod a while ago, but then stopped playing CK3, so it has been waiting for this for quite a while now. So I decided to just upload it before I forget about it, because I still really like the idea.
Yet this mod is still not fully polished.
Here are some issues:
  • If you downgrade an heir in rank (i.e. the game assigned him one of the kingdoms, you only give him a duchy), they might still be independent (when its not a dejure duchy of one of the kingdoms).
  • Sometimes, some heirs won't get all the claims on their siblings characters that they'd deserve.
  • If you were to take away all titles from the main heir and click enact, you'll game over (as you're technically the main heir during this).
  • If you enact a testament and then change it and enact the new one, there might be some weird things going on (but very rare, and only if you do some dramatic changes, i.e. totally disinheriting someone).


    This mod is based on my mod "Partition - Choose your Primary Heir", and includes it.
    It's not compatible with other mods changing the succession event window. Luckily, most mods don't do so.

Alas not working due to the update, I'll do it manually waiting for a good news from this number 1 mod ! Like a king or emperor heir not be able to centralized his domain, so stupid it's not added to vanilla ck3 xD

After the character dies, a title I didn't want to create is spontaneously created and my kingdom is divided into two separate kingdoms. How can i solve it?

The statement below worked, changed the version value to the current version which you can find in game launcher. Actually not sure if you even have to do all that, I didn't try running the mod without making that adjustment, I downloaded the mod then changed the version value.

FYI there is a setting you can change in game rules, it doesn't save the change from new game to new game even if you save the setting to a preset.

Here's how I updated to work with the latest version:
1) In the CK3 launcher, go to the "All installed mods" tab, click the (...) button to the right of this mod, and click "Show in folder"
2) Open "descriptor.mod" with a plain text editor (e.g. notepad)
3) Change the supported_version value to "1.10.*" or whatever the latest version is (I think simply "1.*" should work as well but haven't tested)
4) Restart CK3 launcher and test in game
