I figured it out. Anyone who is using A Game of Thrones mod - just copy Gared's edits in the defines.lua to the defines.lua in the Game of Thrones folder. It's really the only way for it to work

Why does this mod affect my AGOT taxes?

@Fernando Hm how do you mean friend?
⚔Gared⚔  [author] Mar 8, 2022 @ 1:36pm 
@Arson Most likely not:(
⚔Gared⚔  [author] Mar 8, 2022 @ 1:35pm 
@Edwin I dont think so bud:(

It is possible to change Age values without game crash?
LordHighPing Apr 7, 2021 @ 4:43pm 
sorry for asking but is this ironman and achievement compatible?
Arson Dec 1, 2020 @ 4:31pm 
Is this mod compatible with HIP?
CodaMission Oct 30, 2020 @ 2:39am 
I mean, Maryannu released a Bronze Age mod which is BITCHIN and really needs an age mod like this. Pls? Pretty pls? I'll love you forever.

Because I really dont like the vanilla too much, waiting for the GoT mod to release so I can enjoy that at least and feel motivated to actually edit this game
Wotan von Edelsburg Oct 11, 2020 @ 9:12am 
why Game of Thrones mod?
⚔Gared⚔  [author] Oct 11, 2020 @ 8:35am 
If they release a Game of Thrones mod then sure
Wotan von Edelsburg Oct 11, 2020 @ 5:25am 
Will there be a Ck3 update for this?
⚔Gared⚔  [author] Sep 5, 2020 @ 4:33pm 
@Assasin189CZ good question actually, if I can end up enjoying this game which tbh I am not right now then sure I'll make it. Or I might just make one for the fun of it idk I'll leave it at a probably soon.
Assasin189CZ Sep 5, 2020 @ 3:37am 
will there be CK3 version ??
Gasparini Wolleff Aug 14, 2020 @ 3:14pm 
Direct download?

This mod was helpful guiding me on how to edit the defines. It adds realism too. Anyone ever changed the court pruning mechanism?
Silverwing96 Feb 20, 2020 @ 4:55pm 
does this still work? thanks!
Bunny Swan Jan 11, 2020 @ 5:32pm 
@Gared Just get rid of all the unused defines. Otherwise this is incompatible with a lot of mods.
⚔Gared⚔  [author] Dec 2, 2019 @ 9:02am 
@the pineal gland

Oof sorry pal but I wouldn't have the slightest idea on how to do that.
normie rockwell Dec 2, 2019 @ 8:57am 
Any chance you could make a cosmetic-only version of this compatible with Ironman/Achievements?
Nuggz Nov 2, 2019 @ 6:44pm 
so this doesnt conflict with the events but it does kinda conflict with the celtic religion in the Ancient Religions Reborn mod. The event where u send ur 15 year old child to train with warriors or go with druids never fires since they become adults at 14
Legoras Oct 29, 2019 @ 9:17am 
Mod add WHOLE defines.lua, so breaks ANY mod that edit this same file.
⚔Gared⚔  [author] Oct 27, 2019 @ 7:48am 
:'(
Nuggz Oct 27, 2019 @ 3:03am 
im quoting u on this
⚔Gared⚔  [author] Oct 26, 2019 @ 9:43pm 
@Nuggz

I don't believe so but don't quote me on that
Nuggz Oct 26, 2019 @ 8:32pm 
does this conflict with the Child of Satan or Child of Destiny event chains?
⚔Gared⚔  [author] Oct 13, 2019 @ 9:06am 
@RenegadeMastah

No, I think you're misunderstanding, that's what the old age portrait has been changed too, so at 50 you are still middle aged looking but once you hit 60 you're now looking more elderly.
Juke™ Oct 12, 2019 @ 5:25pm 
What are you if youre older than 60? Do you just die on your 61st birthday?
Tunch Khan Oct 4, 2019 @ 10:54am 
Has anyone tried this with HIP yet? Are they compatible?
⚔Gared⚔  [author] Sep 29, 2019 @ 8:26am 
@Paulinchen

Np!

I do believe it is but there is a slight problem if you do load a saved game because it will make anyone who is 14 or 15 adults and thus end their education and in my experience it makes them have no education topic if you know what I mean, so I wouldn't suggest it, it would be best to start a new sorry :(
Paulinchen Sep 29, 2019 @ 5:08am 
Hi Gared, thanks for the mod! Is it save game compatible?
fiziologus Sep 22, 2019 @ 9:44pm 
No need break spears guys, it is game after all.
If examined default CK2 settings, midle age (w/o early) Europe and noble (more or less) family (many things in game need house in this Procrustean bed), game settings and mod settings about correct both.
De-jure (early) marriage realise via betrothals (merge in one real and game betrothals), de-facto via marry.
Same about age. It more hard determined, many even noble people die not naturaly, from sicnesses or in wars (adulthood even more hard, it determine via physiology, not amount years as now), but both, vanila and mod settings also about correct. Game just define all die naturaly IRL as 'average long-livers' and interpolate other people by this point with define middle age as about life half-point (modern age settings).

@DragonWolf

I see, that is quite a problem that does bug me but am not quite sure if I can solve, I know it is possible of course. I'll look into fixing it, I assume it's somewhere deep in the events folders somewhere.

Thank you for reporting this :)
DragonWolf Sep 20, 2019 @ 7:24am 
@Gared
There is an event that can fire when a ward is 14-ish to allow the educator to make a self-sacrifice for their ward. I can't remember if this was conclave only, but basically, it gives them options based on their stats (if 2 are above 10/12, they get the event to make the ward a rival to give them ambitious, stressed to make the diligent, and an out of patience modifier for 5 years giving them -2 to all stats if they give them patient)
⚔Gared⚔  [author] Sep 20, 2019 @ 3:07am 
@IAN CONNOR

Technically it isn't, it does not force you to marry below 16, only if you make it 'pedophilic', it is, so choice is actually up to you to decide that.
Jessy2299 Sep 19, 2019 @ 3:07pm 
The mod work but even if you change the age of adulthood at 14 yearold, most event (if not all) for adult will only be trigger at 16 since you need to change the age factor in all the event and descision to age = 14 instead of age = 16. Also you should change CHILDHOOD_AUTO_EDUCATION_FOCUS_AGE = 13
AGE_CHILDHOOD_PULSE = 4
In other word this mean that A LOT of file need to be edit.

@Ser Omar The Moonkight 96

Tyvm, I'm glad you enjoy :D
OmartheElf09 Sep 19, 2019 @ 9:10am 
great mod man,rly makes things realistic and adds a nice element to the game
muninn Sep 18, 2019 @ 1:32pm 
Nobody married at actual 13, the marriage performed by the nobility is already represented by betrothals.
CKV Sep 18, 2019 @ 1:04pm 
@NexusModel No one is offended by that mod. Stop making stuff up. Having a conversation ≠ beeing offended.
chris Sep 18, 2019 @ 9:04am 
@KickySonichu good reading, thanks.

Also, to reiterate, irl a person is beyond age of consent and /or majority.

@Paul-Emil Von Luttow-Vorbeck

Why? Is the girl of your dreams already married or bethrothed once she becomes adult? Sure it sucks to be unable to seduce your wife, but there are oher ways. You can use family focus if you plan on staying monogame, invite a young woman with good genes if you want to take the prestige hit for marrying a courtier (your lover) or just dip the lovers bonus and keep relations to your wife positive.
The Big Man Himself Sep 17, 2019 @ 7:33pm 
But can you seduce at 13 doe?

I always want the lover opinion boost before i get a wife
Shimmer Sep 17, 2019 @ 4:22pm 
Ah, finally.
Don't have to wait for my captives to be adults anymore to marry them.
Holy Athena Sep 17, 2019 @ 1:06pm 
@kickySonichu

I believe you are right, but, this mod still makes it more realistic, in even LETTING you marry at that age was realistic, which you cannot even do in the game.

That being said, because peoples general life span was much shorter at this time due to poor hygiene, constant wars, rampant sicknesses, etc. etc. etc. you were expected to start working around the house, or learning the family trade very early on in life, and for that reason you were considered an "adult". Or at least a young adult capable of doing work, and pulling their own weight which you were 100% expected to do.

That again is also something not shown properly in CK2.
Red One Sep 17, 2019 @ 10:49am 
@KickySonichu, very interesting read and I believe you've made very good points, that seem quite sound with some distance. In general, there is no black and white in human studies and as you said yourself, there are complex dynamics at work here that makes it impossible to derive an universal answer from. If you have any sources on hand, I'd really enjoy reading more into this.
ɌƗȻꝀŦɆɌ Sep 16, 2019 @ 8:01pm 
Ah, yes, i can finally marry my daughter-wifes 3 years earlier so that every fucking Khagan and their mother can stop asking to marry them to any random courtier they want
Arcane Engineer Sep 16, 2019 @ 4:16pm 
@LikkerdySplit I was wrong sorry, 10 to 14 not 13 to 15. It was late and I did not want to double check my facts.
