It's not entirely clear how this mod works. In terms of what actions are needed in the game itself? How do I find a future elf wife?

i dont know how to code good enough for this

do it yourself

can someone take this mod and update it ?

I'm not the author, but considering the fact it has not been updated in almost a year I would say probably not

Is the mod being updated or not ?

Will anything actually happen to my save game if i add half way through a save? Is it a precaution or flat out NO lol?

If you guys don't mind Debug mode, you can type effect Ueam and click tab to bring up the events, 0002 is the way pregnancy occurs.

why isnt this updated ?

This mod still going?

It'll be in your workshop folder, "SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\1158310\2291024373" or something like that, check the descriptor.mod file with notepad to make sure its the correct mod

Im in the files for ck3 to input the script but i cant find the file for the LOTR mod to add the script. help?

How are you doing on the update? If you don't mind me asking

is this mod dead?

@MrChromka

it's in Lotr realm in exile mod file, inside "common\culture\pillars" "00_heritage"

@Addjoft cant find the file to input your script

my full script :

is_human_heritage = yes
}

@123 > lotr mod
> 00_heritage.txt

modify all the elven group, there is 4 (quendi, calaquendi, lomiquendi and moriquendi)

heritage_quendi = {
type = heritage
parameters = {
heritage_group_elven = yes
is_elven_heritage = yes
}

Add "is_human_heritage = yes" inside "parameters = {"

should look like this :

parameters = {
heritage_group_elven = yes
is_elven_heritage = yes
is_human_heritage = yes
}


If you want to marry every elf no matter how old they are, add "years_of_fertility =" otherwise you can't marry elves above 120 years (default max age)
if "years_of_fertility = 6000" you can marry elves up to 6000 years old

If you want to have children with them, modify "fertility = -10" (-10 = - 1000% fertility)

exemple :

character_modifier = {
life_expectancy = 28000
fertility = 0.10
years_of_fertility = 7000


con is that now all elves can and will have childs, even the oldest ones

if you want to marry older characters you have to put the "years_of_fertility =" above their age, but it also mean all the older elves can get pregnant, i've seen Galadriel and the elves in Valinor having many new childs

And don't forget to make new games when modifying txt files or scripts you might get crashes otherwise

Okay, I see. The vanilla age limit for marriage confused me. I was originally testing with 6,000 year old characters and it wasn't working, thanks

heritage_quendi = {
type = heritage
parameters = {
heritage_group_elven = yes
is_elven_heritage = yes
is_human_heritage = yes
}

re tested it and it's all good, can marry and have childs with elves, no issues with elven settlements and you don't need to modify the government.txt file either, I think it was the fertility limit that was the problem since most of the elves are more than 120 years (vanilla age limit) the game stop you from marrying them

Gotcha, I must've done something wrong while testing it out

Having both elven and human heritage work fine for me, i can marry elves, the thing is that if i remove the elven heritage, even if elves lives up to 28000 years, they still gonna start balding and having beards like human, it looks weird

If you need help setting it up you can add me and I'll give you directions

the child should take the culture of their father, like it works in normal ck3 marriages

It's unfortunate because I would see things like Arwen marry some random lowborn Gondorian during testing. I'm not a ck3 modder and my knowledge only goes so far, I would assume you would have to put something in place that made elven-men marriages rare. Maybe something with their culture that made them reluctant to marry outside their faith would work, but idk

Yes if you modify the acutal RiE files you will be able to marry elves without any mods. The Union of Elves and Men mod is out of date and can't be used with the most recent RiE release. Also yes the AI men will marry elves

@123 This will only work if you modify the files for the Realms in Exile mod. Addjoft is right, these changes won't fix this submod and it needs to be updated by the author.

@Addjoft I also tried to accomplish the workaround by just adding the "is_human_heritage = yes" to the parameters and I couldn't marry an elf. I assume that some system in the mod prevents marriage once the "is_elven_heritage = yes" flag is set.

@Addjoft You can change the amount of time the elves are fertile in the 00_heritage.txt file. You can add the line "years_of_fertility = 28000" to the character modifier section for the heritage group. It should keep them fertile for their entire life, considering their life expectancy in the file is 28000 years.

this mod rules and scripts are broken thats why

You can just add "is_human_heritage = yes" along side
"heritage_group_elven = yes" and
"is_elven_heritage = yes"

heritage_quendi = {
type = heritage
parameters = {
heritage_group_elven = yes
is_elven_heritage = yes
is_human_heritage = yes
}


it also work, the only downside is that elves who are too old can't have childs

heritage_moriquendi = {
type = heritage
parameters = {
heritage_group_elven = yes
is_human_heritage = yes
}

elven_government = {
government_rules = {
create_cadet_branches = yes
religious = no
court_generate_spouses = yes
council = yes
rulers_should_have_dynasty = yes
regiments_prestige_as_gold = no
dynasty_named_realms = no
royal_court = yes
legitimacy = yes
administrative = no
landless_playable = no
use_as_base_on_landed = no
use_as_base_on_rank_up = no
conditional_maa_refill = no
mercenary = no
use_title_tier_modifiers = yes
}

always_use_patronym = no
supply_limit_mult_for_others = -0.5 # Elven lands should not be easily taken by non-elves

primary_holding = elven_holding
required_county_holdings = { elven_holding }
valid_holdings = { elven_holding settlement_holding ruined_holding }

can_get_government = {
heritage_group_elven = yes
}

To fix the issue with the disabled holdings, you need to keep "is_elven_heritage = yes" line of code when changing the parameters for the heritage group. Then you need to edit the lotr_goverment_types.txt file in the governments folder. The line of code "is_elf = yes" needs to be changed to "is_elven_heritage = yes".

You need to do this for all the elven heritage types. You can use whatever value you want for fertility, it just needs to be positive so that the elves can procreate.

You would change the parameters for the heritage group, for example if I were to edit the Calaquendi I would remove "heritage_group_elven = yes" and "is_elven_heritage = yes" and replace it with "is_human_heritage = yes". For the fertility you would change "fertility = -10" to "fertility = 0.10". If you cannot find these lines of code in the file you can ctrl-f it.

@123 I think that If you change elven to men lineage, elves will stop being immortal and lose their elven settlements and constructions type

If anyone is looking for a temporary workaround while this is getting updated you can change the 00_heritage.txt file, it's in the pillars folder for the realms in exile mod. You just have to change the heritage group for the elves so that the game considers them men, additionally you'll need to change the fertility for the elves. Not a perfect fix, but it'll work.
