How to stop spouses cheating? lol

[dragonsphotoworks]

Seems I run a colony of nymphos, they are always cheating it seems lol And mods to stop this? Keep having to have guards come knock them out to stop them trying murder every one.

Does the religion DLC moderate this issue? Your pawns will be obligated by religion to stick to their wives and husbands.

[Narrowmind]

Apparently, if you have the love enhancements, it can glue spouses together.

You can set how many people they screw around with in your idealogy creation I think

"Cheating" should be an incredibly rare event in the game. If you have your ideology set to multiple spouses then it's normal for them to play the field like that, but otherwise it's something that happens quite rarely when two colonists in a relationship have very low opinions of each other. I've seen an affair naturally happen in the game only a handful of times in all my hours played.

I would guess you have colonists from multiple ideologies, one of them is multiple spouses, one of them is not, the people believing in the polygamy ideology keeping hooking up with people who don't who then feel cheated when they move onto the next one. Only unmodded situation I can think of where a lot of "cheating" might happen, and I'm not even sure it works that way.

I do not have any DLC, i should of mentioned that my bad.

My current colony's founders are a wife and a husband who hate each other.
The wife is a baroness with chemical fascination, giving away slaves to the Empire for honor and binging on hard drugs, both of which the husband hates.
The husband is an industrious by-the-books man who works during the day and sleeps during the night. More often than not the wife is too high on drugs to sleep, so they don't even share a bed.
Both are heavily modded to appear beautiful, both have 15+ social, and both get a lot of fans trying to hook up with them. Still, there was no cheating. The colony is 8+ years old.

But there are a lot of breaks-up due to proposal rejections. Don't know what's up with the others, but nobody wants to marry in this colony.

I never saw an affair happen.
Can someone explain how that comes about? Don't they usually just break up and get together with someone else? That's no affair though.

execute people who practice adultery and infidelity.

It's an incredibly low chance to happen when a pawn flirts with a pawn who is very attracted to them and already in a relationship but that relationship is in a very bad state. I don't know the numbers offhand, but if you recruit a colonist who is married to a neutral/allied faction and never sees them and the relationship stays locked at the baseline 30 for married, cheating basically doesn't even happen in that state and that colonist will remain faithful and "alone" probably for the entire playthrough even with all colonists implanted with aesthetic parts and maxed out relations with each other.

When it does happen you get a yellow alert message titled "Affair!" along with a warning sound. The original couple does not directly break up or divorce over this, there is just a large -70 opinion offset for the pawn that was cheated on. If you stack body modder with aesthetic parts then you can keep couples together at 100 relations even with an ongoing affair. Very rare but it was possible to basically have polygamy before ideology.

Mods? I know there are several trait mods that add a trait that makes pawns cheat. RJW also handles cheating very differently from vanilla and it depends on your settings for that mod.

[Playzr 🐵]

Implement a fascist dystopia where you rule with an iron fist and tell them who they can and can't sleep with.

[dragonsphotoworks]

No mods like that. I use robots and more building mods.

Randomness is random. Sounds like you've seen this one a lot! It is a low probability event base game.
