Please tone down the infidelity

[Bentley Strange]

My last 6 lover + soulmate wives have all taken other lovers. None of those wives have had the lustful or disloyal traits. None of their lovers had anything remarkable about their character. No great congenital trait, not even an intrigue education. Just regular dudes. It just happens again and again and again. Seduce schemes against my family are dropping left and right. Everyone's banging each other constantly. Which wouldn't be as much of an issue again if the soulmate relationship wasn't already established.

I'm at the point where I'm using console commands/debug to instantly imprison and execute the lovers as I want an heir that's descended from me and gets my congenital traits, but that breaks the immersion, plus it just keeps happening again and again. My characters are pretty cool guys, good traits, well-liked. Literal soulmates to their wives. It's getting crazy. Please tone down the infidelity, or at least make soulmate a nigh-impregnable block against cheating.

These spouses failed against seduction schemes or Activity seductions; you need to do more to protect your court against hostile schemes and you need to spend more time taking your wife to events where you make her the focus of your Activity.

It really doesn't matter what you do; the AI rarely ever rejects a seduction or romance schemes once they're completed. You can eliminate romance schemes entirely just by having a successful romance on your spouse (soulmates can't be romanced; they can do a "true love's kiss" but that leads nowhere). However, having your spouse as your soulmate doesn't stop seduction schemes from working. It does lower the odds of success (pretty sure it's -60 to the success chance), but that's about it.

Also, I do believe they upped the amount of cheating the AI does. I swear, about 40% of rulers have cheated and quite a lot of courts have cheaters galore. It could just be a placebo but it still feels like the rates have gone up.

The AI in this game is quite predictable. You will see the same things happening no matter what you do in many areas.

You have to change the Seduction settings so that it can occur only under specific circumstances, or not at all.

Believe me, I know. Man oh man do I know. Half the things the AI does makes me cringe, the other half makes me say out loud "what the heck?".

This seems to do the trick, many thanks.

I am on my 10'th+ generation (character) and I have not had a single spouse that was not faithful toward her spouse, even when having 4 spouses at a time.
