Chance of children with lovers?

[st0815]

Hi, how often do lovers have children? I have a bunch of very healthy and fertile unmarried lovers of my char at court but the only child they ever have with me is caused by the initial seduce interaction.

Edit: I may have hit the child limit with 24 children because not even my wives had any more children. The big Update probaböy resettet my changes to the 00_defines.
Which is strange because my father had like 70 children and it maxed out at 24 for me.

try breaking up with them and seduce them again. instead of choosing to become lovers, choose the other option for a one time lay. then seduce again - rinse and repeat until they become pregnant

No. They have 0-2 children.

Living Child cap is only for automatic Childs via Marriage and not for Bastards.

Bastards are in fact free, but they count towards your living child limit, if they are your exposed Bastards, so the more known Bastards you have, the lesser Marriage Childs, you will get.

I haven't hit my children limit either.

Dunno, in my recent playthrough, my emperor sired over 40 children with all the different seduced lovers.

Do you also keep then as your lovers, or stop the scheme after the "one night stand"?

Fertility plays a huge part.

I keep them as lovers. Fertility is 100 on both (controlled in debug mode), many traits like Strong and Beautifull and Seducer lifestyle to increase the chances.

Fertility multiplier in the 00_defines is 1 like the main spouse.

It just feels like they never meet again despite beeing lovers and beeing in my court.
