Can I see fertility?

[Iriath Zhul]

Is there a way to view expected fertility of a particular relationship?

[Zero, Dark Knight]

It tells you chance of children when selecting the marriage between (him) and (her).

Other than that, just assume the base is say, 60% and calculate based on traits.

I.E - Comely 10% = 70%.

Handsome 20% = 80%. etc.

Do we yet know the fertility impact of a member of the marriage being asexual/homosexual?

[Zero, Dark Knight]

I wouldn't know those impacts, others may.
I'd raise the obvious issue of "Would a bi character have any penalties?" also.

but I'd be assuming homosexual characters have about 25-30%? - as the actual games congenital trait called 'Infertile' is -50% and that makes Chance of Children "Low", if married to an average partner.

Eventually I am sure someone will make a mod that displays these numbers as they are probably in some file somewhere. But I personally like things not so numbered, almost hidden, random, sure I can assume a younger character is more fertile than an older one but I don't want to see numbers. Makes it more realistic for me.

Actually someone in another thread a few days said that being homosexual/asexual has no fertility minus at all. You are still as likely to get a child after a sexual encounter with the opposite gender, the encounter just does not trigger as often if there is no attraction.


There is also a mod that lets you see fertility % at any time by hovering over the health status in your profile.
Of course, not Ironman compatible.

Yeah I figured literal fertility wouldn't change, but my understanding was the game interpreted fertility as a combination of "potency" and "horniness". Which there is some support for due to things like chastity and lustfulness affecting fertility, but fertility is also affected by age.

So I have to assume that non-heterosexual characters are less likely to cause pregnancy.

Anyway just curious since I have various ~schemes~ that rely on gauging the likelihood of certain marriages producing more heirs.

I think the wiki has a chart...? I remember on another thread someone posted a good chart that showed fertility outcomes based on several factors.

I think I'll leave a comment here in the hope that this chart surfaces.
