Partition: Choose your Primary Heir

Description
This mod allows you to continue playing as your non-primary heir when you die.
You could of course use the menu to change your character, but if you're playing modded ironman (i.e. to prevent yourself from cheating) or if you want the option to continue as someone else feel more like an actual game mechanic, this mod is for you.

For this, the 'you are dead screen' has been changed and the section 'lost titles' now gives slightly more information about the pretenders and most importantly allows you to play as your siblings.

Thanks to various people on the forums for giving me the idea. I think this concept makes playing with the partition succession much more interesting, because now it gives you the 'benefit' that you can play as your favourite kid (but without inheriting all the titles).

It is also quite interesting to play as 'the little brother', scheming to take his rightful throne. In vanilla CK3, you'll never be in that situation as you will always continue as the most powerful child. This also makes it so that forming a cadet branch is a rarity for the player himself.

I also added a "random child" button, which will randomly choose one of your previous rulers landed (tier >= count) child of your previous ruler. Just in case you want to restrict yourself from min-maxing. ;-)

Maybe one day Paradox will just add this feature to the game, but until then have fun with this mod. I really hope they do so, you too?

Updated to Royal Court.

The mod isn't working for me. Am I missing something? I have a lot of other mods but this one is at the bottom of my load order. When my character dies, it just says game over and that I died without an heir; no option to "choose my primary heir".

The mod seems to be working as of 1.11 (without any other mods). For those interested - Inherichance mod will partially work if loaded before this mod, i.e. only some gold inheritance options work. Inherichance transfers the gold immediately after your ruler’s death, so your choice of heir will not affect that, therefore “spoilation” rule will not work. “Player Heir on partition inheritance” game rules don’t seem to work at all, as Inherichance is quite outdated.

(tested with 867 East Francia)

I really like this idea! However, primary heir and player heir are two different things. The mod should say "choose your Player Heir" not primary heir. Cool mod!

window_succession_event.gui needs an update after 1.6 it actually needed an update after 1.5.1 already

@ FunGaming44 Keep in mind too if you hit ESC there's a "Switch character" button. You don't even have to exit to the main menu to use it.

@Lrds Is there anyway you can make it so I can also continue as other relatives and not just brothers and sisters.

Example: My Character the king dies and my son inherits my titles but I would like to continue as the brother of the character that died which would make that character the uncle of the heir. Is this possible to get that working ??
