How to get rid of inbred trait

[The Vlach]

My first inbred character was a result of a brother sister marriage so it's no surprise but this inbred character then had children with a completely non-related character and all the children are inbred

He died young and so his son who is an inbred is now king

My question is does the inbred trait eventually die out as you diversify the gene pool or am I stuck to having inbred kids for the rest of the game?

Welcome to Crusader Kings!

There is an inheritable trait called "Pure-Blooded" which makes the offspring immune to all birth defects due to all flaws having been bred out of the bloodline. The descrption says you can get Pure-Blooded by having a generations of inbreeding but I'm not exactly sure how it works.

It is a genetic trait, the character can't get rid of it.

Basically you need to have a LOT of children in every generation.

Then you keep breeding B+S combinations from the same parents. You have to sort out the inbreds and other genetic defects. In the end, all the genetic defects are removed and their offspring can keep being incestous without further risk.

The idea being that they cannot inherit defects which the parents don't have.

Probably the same way positive traits work. If you have two characters who have the quick trait their offspring will inherit quick, with a chance of it being upgraded to intelligent. It's likely negative traits would work the same way.

It's a roll of the dice like they said, keep loving your sister until a baby pops out with 'Pure Blooded' then get rid of all the 'defected' kids.

It's like raising horses, but more f'ed up.

Don't ♥♥♥♥ your sister. Boom. Not inbred.

No that is not how it works. See the "generational inbreeding" mod for CK2, on the paradox forums.

You need to stack the "cosanguinity" or whatever it's called to 100%, without having defect genes in the "subject".

Coupling brother + sister combinations from the same parents is the fastest way.

In turn, if you would try to keep breeding them yourself down the line (daughter, granddaughter etc) it would never reach 100%.


Edit: If i may add, this is a very sad process. You get so many inbred and other disabled children, it is absolutely not funny but just disgusting.

Sister? Behold my Daughter-Wife: https://i.imgur.com/4H7WI7H.jpg
She just had 2 twins, 1 male and 1 female, perfect...

But what should I name them?

[The Vlach]

Yea that new king just had a child and she's also inbred

Inbreeding seems extremely non sensical in this Crusader Kings

I guess I'll go for another 2 generations but if the inbred trait still is around despite marrying no one related to me for 2 generations imma be grumpy :/

Update for anyone coming across this post

My king after 3 generations of having the inbred trait had a child who wasn't inbred, so it is possible to get rid of it

Good luck

Good to know. Going by your last post it sounds like you stopped inbreeding? Isn't it better to aim for Pure-Blooded?

Since CK3 is new there is pretty limited info on these more unique traits/modifiers

Most people are saying that the pure-blooded seems very inconsistent and to play 4-5 generations of inbreds just hoping for it to trigger is pretty difficult imo

I guess you could just try to have a bunch of kids and then pick one set to constantly intermarry with each other while you rule with a normal ruler, then if they get the pure blooded modifier you simply designate them as the next ruler (You'll need absolute Crown authority if I remember correctly)
