Chance of Children

[Seveers]

Why is the chance of children in so may marriages zero?

Is there a way to see fertility? I know you can filter by fertile/infertile, but how can you otherwise tell?

[Jaed]

Same issue with no indication about why or who is giving the affect. Age, traits, and health are not factors. It just seems like it's random NPCs so far.

Haven't ever seen a sterile trait. Does it show by all other regular traits?

I'm still convinced this is a bug.

Also, is anyone else having issues with filtering marriagable characters? Some of the filters not working and sorting by certain values too?

There's a mod that lets it be seen on the healthy icon. While the same mod on CK2 didn't change the checksum, it does change it with CK3 so the mod can't be used with achievements.

I am assuming you checked but make sure your character is not sterile.

I am pretty sure it is a bug. It seems to happen primarily with court members and low ranking dynasty members

[Canman]

Also experienced this. Must be a bug.

you gay

Maybe y'all don't get along well.

My daura lady gave birth to her last kid (number 10 lol) at the age of 46. So it seems everything is possible.

This doesn't sound like a bug or such to me. It sounds like a way for the game to ensure you don't have a zillion characters of no consequence to keep track of (i.e. courtier children that have no claims to inherit etc). Hence why seemingly hale and young foilks can't get offspring. Chara bloat was a problem for CK2 performance, so...

I mean, I filted specifically by 'fertile' yet I'm still getting 9/10 characters with no chance of children...

So how does the filter even work? Without a trait like Barren or Sterile, how are you supposed to know?

Seems cheesy you can filter but can't also look.

It shows in the right corner as a red diamond I think. Also it could possibly be a bug as I have found few men and women with even medium fertility.

There is a trait called sterile! However, I think there is no other way to check fertility other than said traits or when you are going to be married.

Been playing a bit now, I have this theory: Some characters that already exist when the game starts don't seem to have a chance of children, but characters somehow spawned later, through events have it.

Anyone else concerned with this issue can you check it in your games? I will give an example below.

Just now, I was planning marriage for a courtier (36yo female, bisexual, not lowborn, no fertility modifying traits);

I had two groom options also from my court and here are her chance of children with them:

1. 29yo male, heterosexual, not lowborn AND seducer trait (+20% fertility)- also a giant but that trait has no fertility modifier. chance of children with above female courtier NONE

2. 28yo male, heterosexual, lowborn, no fertility modifying traits. chance of children with above female courtier MEDIUM

the only feasible explanation I have is that the 2nd option dude appeared in my game after I called for court physicans to my court. the first dude i believe was already in the game/my court when the game started.

So, if a man that belongs to a dynasty house AND has seducer trait has no chance of children, when a lowborn man without extra fertility traits has the chance, I think this is a sort of bug in the game.
