Interested in Working on a Seduction / Romance Mod With a Partner
I am interested in finding someone who understands the game mechanics and knows how to create mods to work with to improve the Seduction / Romance functions of the games. I have lots of scripting ideas (different options other than meeting at a stream or in the kitchen late at night), different options with Private Conversations from Great Works (PC in Secluded Grove for friendship and love, PC in Bedchamber for lust and passion and to increase pregnancy chances, PC in Vineyard bonus for Gardeners or for making friends or business partners, PC in Torture Chamber for plotting or kidnapping) different Alcohol Gift options (wine from Vineyard to boost romance chances, beer from Tavern for friendship and carousing). Also, Options to visit lovers when you want to, meeting lovers specifically to try to get them pregnant, inviting other nobles to visit you in your court (ostensibly to discuss alliances or business deals, but also for chances to seduce their wives... having a ball in their honor, feasts, outdoor events, etc.), with Hedonist traits you can have the ability to seduce relatives, gain same-sex lovers (homosexual and/or bisexual), invite multiple partners into your bed at the same time, casual lovers (to fit between lovers and one-time affairs), having lovers / casual lovers approach you when they want sex (the more lovers you have, the more you have to juggle things to satisfy all of them... increasing stress and problems keeping up with your "day jobs" (why should only observing the stars cause you problems at work?), chances of various men or women trying to seduce you (and chances of them having negative responses to rejection), lovers becoming jealous and obsessive, additional bonuses (silver foxes, sexy older women (cougars), nymphs, studs, etc.), responses to love making (satisfied, unsatisfied, etc.) effecting how lovers and conquests will feel about maintaining sexual relationships, or coming back after one-time affairs to try to become regular lovers. Getting lovers who are married to other rulers to spy for you, work on your behalf, betray their spouses or, conversely, they screw up your plans by abandoning their spouses and show up at your doorstep expecting you to cast everything else aside for them (lots of opportunities for negative opinions if the church or the people are shocked, reasons for other rulers to go to war with you, etc.). And so on.

In addition, something like a "bastard tracker" could be helpful to keep up with your various offspring and even their own offspring. Also, whether you legitimize, acknowledge, or denounce your bastards, you can still provide for them to let their mothers think better of you, if you care. And even having children together and whether that is a positive or negative thing, can affect your lovers' opinions of you. If a lover's spouse dies while she is pregnant with your child, if no one figured out it was a bastard then it will be born as a legitimate child of it's father, unless you want to take responsibility for it. Also, in addition to lovers, have a minor title of mistress that you can give (you don't have the shock or shame of your mistress getting pregnant that you do with a lover). Angry husbands can be intimidated and/or rewarded to keep their mouths shut and to take responsibility for any kids their wife has with you... a barony can be a nice bonus for a cuckolded husband. In fact, you can initiate conversations with your lovers' spouses to tell them what is going to happen and they if they don't keep their mouth shut they might find themselves without any titles or cash bonuses they might be given (I will frequently plan ahead who I want to make a lover and I will usually give their husbands baronies to provide for my lovers in style).

I think that the seduction / romance aspects of the game are one of the best opportunities for role-playing with you character more than just planning wars and conquering territories. If you want to really have a character become a part of you, then you need to developing a deep emotional interest in what they do, and this is one way that such attachment could be deepened.

Is anyone interested in working on something like this?
