I don't yet know if it works, but it creates its own directory and screws the whole folder in Documents up.

also, mod works perfectly regardless of the game version.

I tested it while playing as a 16 year old Sunni Egyptian, In almost ~30 years, I had only one child with my 4 wives. (played on the very easy difficulty too)

Anyway, if your wife is already pregnant for example, or even your female character as it was in my case, you can't just delete your unborn child... so be careful especially playing these kinds of characters with poligamy lifestyle.

As soon as you have one male, you can enable via the decisions. if your first child is a daughter, even better... free marry alliances.

even if i'm playing as a female, it's funny when it still says ''wife'' at the decisions tab... should have been ''spouse''.

Still works @1834313419

Can you use this mod with Ironman and get achievements?
Captain J. Roger 14 Dec, 2019 @ 5:28am 
Is this Ironman Compatible?

Please update :(

get a life people... this mod is from 2014 who cares about f*cking PETA
Scipio Manbini 7 Mar, 2019 @ 7:19am 
PETA link by itself would be enough but having the "Cat Adoption Team" links right below it makes for some delicious irony.

PETA has teams of people who collect "homeless" dogs and cats (many which are not "homeless") and kills them, because if there are no living animals there will be no more animal suffering.

Given the mod, I would have expected a link to Planned Infanticide instead.

I can't see the decision anymore
Petko_ 27 Oct, 2018 @ 8:03am 
Can you do it a game of thornes mod compatible? Or, is there any sub-mod for it?
Numenor 11 Sep, 2018 @ 1:07am 
You should make the decision detect whether or not you have concubines or lovers... so that you can enable the birth control decision when you are not married but have other partners.

Mod has gotten 'buggy', at least in my case -- I have many of the DLCs, so maybe there's a conflict. After install, it starts putting all save files inside the Mod's own subfolder, and it seemed to also cause some text-message/misspelling errors in game pop-ups. Both issues disappeared after uninstalling this older mod, which hasn't been attended to since 2014... shame, I like the concept :(
chekerface 29 Apr, 2018 @ 12:46pm 
@Quadrewple the humane society why? when you can help actual shelters or better an animal sanctuary ( as rancho relaxo, goats of anarchy...)
Also even though it might be true peta isn't trust worthy the web you gave have a clearly conservative ideology you can see it when it says that the comic "your mommy kills animals" it's a children book when it is not. Or how it says it funds terrorist when it refering to the animal liberation front. They maybe terrorists because they are agaisnt the system but if you use that word people automatically think about muderers and I've no doubt they used that word on purpose, so people that does not ready throughtly does not realise.

PETA though D:

Jeez!! Colby said nothing wrong @MidnightCoffe
loinbread 4 Jan, 2018 @ 8:23am 
PETA aren't my faves but many animal welfare groups are put in positions from time to time where animals must be euthanised. No Kill shelters are unethical.
MidnightCoffee 23 Dec, 2017 @ 1:14pm 
@Colby415 are you literally defending an organization that kills animals?
Colby415 18 Nov, 2017 @ 5:23pm 
Quadrewple, how do you not understand that he has just as much right to support PETA as you do to support HSUS? Your arrogance is, frankly, abhorrent. ;-)
CautionToTheWind 11 Aug, 2017 @ 2:04pm 
This mod is broken on Linux due to filesystem case-sensitivity and inconsistent casing in the mod files. Workaround possible using ciopfs.
N0rbZ 29 Apr, 2017 @ 8:26am 
You are brilliant!
TGC GamerGramp 29 Apr, 2017 @ 7:27am 
It's still working for me, though I don't have the Conclave or Monks & Mystics DLC.
Azzarrel 6 Apr, 2017 @ 2:09pm 
can confirm, but i do not even get the decision
Amroth 8 Mar, 2017 @ 6:52am 
This mod is not working as of 2.7

I activated it in the intrigue window but it didn't give me a trait, I kept having children. I have about 10 right now. :I
Summary 8 Jan, 2017 @ 12:28am 
Not to mention would like to legitimize bastard females so that I can marry them off and get alliances.
Summary 8 Jan, 2017 @ 12:27am 
Can I still father bastards with this mod? Cause the whole point of abstinence is to prevent fracturing of the realm due to gavelkind. But I like to have many bastards that I could legitimize should my sole heir die.
Arcanjo 4 Jan, 2017 @ 6:56am 
yes it is
Troubles The Cat 11 Dec, 2016 @ 6:53pm 
This still working?
Dorimi 王狼  [author] 5 Apr, 2016 @ 10:01am 
dont remember about which ones exactly, but Enhaced sounds for sure is complatible
Aesthetic Ascetic 5 Apr, 2016 @ 1:03am 
Hey, are any of your mods under the [VS] collection Ironman compatible?
Oddness 13 Jan, 2016 @ 1:31pm 
If it bothers you it would be easy enough to go to the localization and change the wording to whatever you want. You could put that you watch your wife from the closet while beating it if that's what does it for you. lol
Rikashey 6 Sep, 2015 @ 5:09pm 
Not having relations with your wife seems like an odd choice to go for with this mod.

I'd think it would be much more lore friendly if the option had something to do with "pulling-out" or trying alternate means of intercourse.

Pulling-out choice would simply lower fertility by -90%

Alternate intercourse would disable any chance of having children but lowers Piety 50 or a small monthly cost.

Abstaining completely from intercourse just seems like quite a weird choice that you went with.

Hard to roleplay that while playing also.
supercid87 16 Aug, 2015 @ 11:35pm 
Manual Link pls ;(
DarkAutumn2618 2 Aug, 2015 @ 1:43pm 
I like this mod, but it annoys me when the adapt and unadapt continence shows up as an important decision, can you maybe change that?
Incognitoandahalf 27 May, 2015 @ 7:35pm 
I'm having issues with the mod disabling other possible events such as festivals ans hunts, anyone else experiencing this?
Gilgameskills 23 Jan, 2015 @ 9:30pm 
use console cheats than
€mperornisse the Great 18 Nov, 2014 @ 11:33am 
I want the complete opposite of this mod. I want a button forcing my character to visit wife/s, consorts, concubines or lovers. My characters are never horny enough, I need more bastards!!!!
The Beast at Tanagra 3 Oct, 2014 @ 7:44pm 
Psh. Lust trait ftw.
Gordon 3 Oct, 2014 @ 6:48am 
Hi.
Sadly your manual link doesnt work anymore.
On Mega.co the file isn´t available. Can you please upload it again?
Kerovanka 26 Sep, 2014 @ 8:16am 
Want mod with the opposite qualities.
Aldodrem 25 Jul, 2014 @ 8:27am 
I find changing the Succession law to Ultimogeniture is the best way to control who heirs your titles. Marry your 1st wife to someone with a good trait (i.e. Strong, Quick, Genius etc.) than when you birth a child with that trait passed on divorce her and find a 2nd wife in the 40s with High stats numbers to buff yours. Best of both worlds, controled heir and than high stats bonuses!
ParadoxLogic 21 Jul, 2014 @ 11:58am 
I tried deleting the birth control mod, because on of the mods I have has made it impossible for me to save a game.. or do much of anything on the game. While tried to figure out which one is doing this.. I decided to delete all of my mods and start fresh. This would be fine except this mod is dug in like a tick and no matter how many times I delete the mod.. it pops right back up in the mods folder. So please.. tell me how to delete the mod so I can eliminate it as a suspect in destroying my game. KTHXBAI!
Dimebag_Gerald 21 Jul, 2014 @ 3:22am 
Hi there,
Im planning on making an epic mod collection of random modders with small, but awesome mods. Like this one. Do I have your permission to use it? You will get the credits, of course.
Add me on steam for further details.
(PS. I wish to use all of your mods in the VS collection.)
Caesar15 8 Jun, 2014 @ 9:27am 
Did you seriously put a Cat and Dog ad on this...
JediLincoln14 1 Jun, 2014 @ 4:59pm 
Don't know if this is possible, but I wouldn't mind having a mod that increases the infant and childhood mortality rate. The birth rate in this game is pretty accurate for the Middle Ages, but the childhood death rate is unrealistically low. I'm pretty sure I've had more chldren die due to assassination than due to illness.
Talio 1 Jun, 2014 @ 9:09am 
So after playing with this mod and having a blast with it,

But here's a few things that might make it more "funny"
- If your spose have traits that is"sluty" like lustfull they might sleep with someone in youre cort if you dont take care of them when you wont sleep with him/her. This might just randomly add an event where you might get a basterd or two trown into your family

- When you use the "Birth control" give a negative like to your sposes relation (with might led him/her to cheat on you ect

-The comment that Lockhart said (read bellow)

That just 3 things that i have been thinking about, No need to put them in. But just something that i think might make it even more fun to use this mod. Keep up the good work.

Ps - thanks for helping cat ^^ Or maby you work there i dont know, But still grate that you put the link to there site, Given that your mods have made ck2 alot beter for me i will try to scrap some spare cash and donate it to help :spycon:
