Who's Your Daddy?

[v1.11.0] Gives your secret bastards a searchable trait that indicates your character is their real father.

This mod is noninvasive. It should not conflict with any other mods and does not override any of the base game files.

Achievement compatible: yes!

Note: The trait says that it is congenital, but the inheritance chance is zero, so in effect it shouldn't be inheritable. I've made it congenital so that it shows up in various marriage dialogs.

Technical details:

The trait is added automatically on birth. If you switch player characters without your former character dying, and then he has a bastard, that child may get the attribute. The trait's description includes the name/link to their real father though, so you can still tell them apart.

You can always add_trait whos_your_daddy to any character if it didn't show up when it should have (check out my other mods if you need a nice way to toggle debug mode on and off). Alternatively, you can use one of these events in the developer console:

event whosyourdaddy.0001
This one checks to see if any of your pinned characters are your bastards, and if so, it will add the trait

event whosyourdaddy.0002
This one checks for bastards among your vassals and below, as well as your courtiers and guests, and any that are found get the trait added.

Eventually I'd like to add game options to make the trait show up in other circumstances (like for all bastards, or for any of your children), but that's not there yet.
