I tried it again with the UI free version and it appears I can appoint and replace council members with no issue.

I tried this mod by itself as part of the debug process and I think it's the reason for stopping me from appointing other people to be council members. The button for firing or assigning when clicking on a potential candidate is gone.

yeah i was using other mods. this is what i was using:

weight of crown
work for it
rui: character unofficial
harem politics

Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look and see if there's a way to make both mods compatible

I think there is compatibility issues with the mod Love, Marriage and Family. I was getting the same issues as Soran in that I was only allowed to marry one spouse and if I wanted to marry more I would have to invite them to my court. I hope this helps anyone if they run into issues.

@PrimaItalia No worries! This mod should be compatible with EPE 😊

@Soran That is strange. Do you happen to use other mods? Some mods alter marriage interactions and triggers. If so, you could tell me which ones so that I'll see if I can find the conflict

I am sorry if this has been asked before but is this mod compatible with EPE?

no, i tried it with saladin, i just married a random woman then tried again and it wouldnt let me.

@Soran Hey there. The mod works with every faith. Is your character betothed? When rulers are already betrothed, they can't arrange another marriage until the betrothal becomes a marriage, or until the betrothal is broken

a clarification the character was a guest in my court, but when i bribed them to join my court i could do it just fine. but this means i cant marry politically past the first wife

is it working with muslims? i am trying as saladin but i cant marry my courtiers or anyone past the first wife

@calyver check discussions

@gene190282 Unfortunately, there's no way to play as a consort in CK3. That would require playing as a courtier, which isn't possible at the moment 😕

I have a question, could you become part of the harem yourself as a player ? because if yes, it wil be good for roleplay and allow a bit of an "ascension" politically

Thank you😆

@sokotofalcon Thanks for your words! I could check those files and see if there's any conflict. For now, the RICE update is my priority. But I'll give it a check 😁

I play with cuomo's super compatch, any chance we could get a compatch for it(his patch does include LMF, and other mods that might conflict besides RICE but it would make the game complete imo. The only thing to tweak would be to apply the effects of the mod "concubines-a mechanical overhaul" only to relevant faiths such as African Pagans and Steppe nomads.

Thank you for the hard work, this mod completely fills the hole left by the absence of what should have been a base game mechanic and which hopefully might be more than just an after thought for ALL UNDER HEAVEN.

@sokotofalcon there are other compatibility issues with RICE. However, I have identified them. They will be fixed for the next update coming soon

@florenciacosimo have you checked if you're not already betrothed? The game stops you from arranging more marriages if you are betrothed to someone

I can get married once but then no one allows me to accept the proposal to someone else that happens

@ 东宫门里伏金剑

Does it also solve the -1000 polygamous marriage acceptance bug?

@bboy_damo

I did it and although it fixed the harem mechanics it still has the marriage acceptance bug

The RICE conflict is really easy to fix. In the RICE file common/scripted trigger/j_khd01_RICE_marriage_triggers.txt
comment out
#accepts_polygamy = {
# OR = {
# culture = { has_cultural_tradition = tradition_polygamous }
# faith = { has_doctrine = doctrine_polygamy }
# }
#}

#accepts_concubinage = {
# OR = {
# culture = { has_cultural_tradition = tradition_concubines }
# faith = { has_doctrine = doctrine_concubines }
# }
#}

and add this at the bottom
# from Harem Politics
accepts_polygamy = {
OR = {
faith = { has_doctrine_parameter = allows_polygamy }
culture = { has_cultural_parameter = allows_polygamy }
}
NOT = {
culture = {
has_cultural_tradition = tradition_monogamous
}
}
}

accepts_concubinage = {
OR = {
faith = { has_doctrine_parameter = allows_concubinage }
culture = { has_cultural_parameter = allows_concubinage }
}
NOT = {
culture = {
has_cultural_tradition = tradition_monogamous
}
}
}

The incompatibility with RICE is probably not TRIGGER, when Harem Politics, Polytheism Reborn and RICE are used together, the Harem Politics function works fine.

@SK.Skiter it’s not compatible with AGOT at the moment. I’m prioritizing an update for later this month before I start working on compatches. I’ll be announcing more news on the Discord server 😇

AGOT compatible?

@Coglims It sounds like there might be a conflict with another mod. Which other mods you’re using? That’ll help me narrow it down

I'm trying to arrange marriages as an ashari muslim yet I face "recipient's faith doesnt allow polygamous -1000" modifier despite all parties being ashari.

when do you think you will fix compatibility with rice

@Sledjer you're right! I hadn't noticed that trigger before. But I still wonder why the load order won't have any effect. That has complicated my mod's integration with RICE

@Coglims unfortunately, any mod that introduces new faiths will be in conflict with Harem politics. It's a bit hard to make a version that'll be generally compatible with other mods. I'm trying to make one, but I don't think it'll be compatible with every mod 😢

Unfortunately this mod is incompatible with RICE, because it has its own entries for accepts_polygamy and accepts_concubinage that forcibly take priority over this mod regardless of load order and don't respect the new allows_polygamy and allows_concubinage triggers.

It's not compatible with Old Gods Expanded. Hope someone creates a patch :(

I just joined the discord. I was able to get the bride show to work as a tribal ruler, but not as a clan or feudal ruler. I can post screenshots after I get back from work

@Rakdos72 that's strange. Could you contact me on Discord?

Feudal for me and vassals. I saw the requirement for non-republic or theocratic vassals, it was always met. I tried as a duke, king, and emperor.

@Rakdos72 Thanks for the info! What’s your government type and the government type of your non-powerful vassals?

The decision appears, but the final condition about having the appropriate amount of vassals can never be satisfied. Even when I have many more than three non-powerful count vassals, the checkbox remains unfilled.

@Rakdow72 hey there. That’s strange. Does the decision appear, or you can’t see it at all?

Bride Show decision might be borked, I can't get it to work even with all other mods disabled.

@两只水饺跳过去 Thanks for the feedback! I tested the Offer Concubine interaction with the 867 Viking start and it seems to work in my games. What are the other mods you're using? That might help identify any conflicts.

As for RICE, I haven’t found any overlapping files, but for some reason the two still don’t work together. I’m still looking into it. If anyone finds the cause, I’d love to know!

Hello! I’ve noticed while playing the 867 Viking start that the “Offer Concubine” interaction is missing from character interactions. After some troubleshooting, I found that your mod seems to be causing this issue, as disabling it resolved the problem. I’m not sure if this is due to a recent change you made to the mod, so I thought I’d ask for clarification.
Also, I saw that your mod might not be compatible with RICE? That’s a bit disappointing, as I can barely bring myself to play without RICE, lol. Could this issue (if it’s a bug) be related to RICE? Apologies for not testing this further myself. Thank you for your hard work and any insights you can provide!
Sorry, my English isn’t very fluent. This comment was translated using GPT.

ahh was thinking that was a bug, thanks for clarifying man

@Crack Jack That’s actually a feature. This mod separates marriage and concubinage doctrines, so characters can have both spouses and concubines. You can customize this in the Harem Politics game rules at the start of the game 😊

having a small problem where they can have both concubines and secondary spouses

@gurukof Yes, the main mod edits the character UI, but there’s a UI-free version for compatibility with UI overhauls (see above in the notes).

The blasphemous marriage malus only appears if the consort doesn’t accept polygamy or concubinage

does this mod conflict or need UI overhauls?

also is there any way to get rid of the blaphemous marriage opinion Malus?

@starfarts Thanks! Just to clarify, most features (favor system, events, demotions, etc.) work for all rulers. Only the Grand Consort court position is restricted to kings+, since it's inspired by Imperial China's Noble Consort rank. Lower tiers still get plenty of harem drama! 😊

Looks great, subbing now. But why restrict this to high-tier rulers? Let us tall players enjoy good stuff too!
