Male to male lovers

[Tilarium]

While I have nothing against male to male lovers, it seems that every Emperor and King level ruler in my game are taking multiple male lovers. Like I said, I have nothing against it but it is pretty annoying when every single high level ruler is taking a lot of male lovers when nobody involved has traits that would suggest they want to bed other men.

Is this a feature or a bug or something? Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?

It's not a feature, nor a bug I'm aware of -- there's been nothing changed with regards to lover events for quite some time.

Do you have the correct checksum? Is this a new game with the latest mod version? If the answer to both of those is "yes", how far into the game did you notice this? What would be the steps to re-create the issue? I'd have to see it in action in order to even think of addressing it.

I've had a Karling game where ALL of my Tournament champions for 3 ruling cycles become homosexual o.o, Karling was one of them as well.

I was like "Whoa, what exactly are they jousting?"

I had another Greek Game where it happened again, this was before Horse Lords however, and I have 2 screenshots

Since we are on the topic... Can we add an option to make this event a bit less one-sided? Like add a "Overlook it" option? There's an homosexual intrigue event where it does have a "overlook it" option but there isn't one for this one (i think, can't seem to find the event when I browse through localization in the current version).

I was really sad when that happened since I was going to try to make him Pope and I was like "hmm, maybe a gay Pope would be a bad idea." And having non-zealous Popes in early shattered realm totally sucks since Religious Rebellions snowball out of control since everyone is a OPM and the religious rebel size > the lord's levy

Interesting.

I'll take a look in the tournament events, but I've no idea if that's where this is coming from -- if it is indeed part of the mod.

EDIT: Looked at the "become homosexual" event in the tournaments file, and I see nothing out of the ordinary. You have as much chance of becoming homosexual as, say, getting syphilis. Indeed, I looked through all the events which could make a character homosexual (there aren't many), and they all appear to have normal firing conditions. If I were to look into this, I'd need more information -- such as checksum, mod version played on (and mod version game began on), repro steps, etc.

It's a vanilla event, I believe. I'll take a look for it.

It's a new game with the latest version and all DLCs loaded in. I have a few other mods loaded in but none that looked like they would effect this but I'll take a look through them later when I have the chance. In my game I started as Tuscany in the 867 start, then immediately gave Piombino to one of the lowborn courtiers and then used the console to switch to him for the game. I just happened to notice in the message box that the Carolingian Emperor took King So-n-So as a lover and when I looked at him I noticed he had 4 male lovers (included his Court Chaplin), all of which were vassals of his. I got curious and started looking around at higher tier rulers and noticed that almost all of them had made lovers out of their male vassals. Neither the Emperors/Kings or the vassals have the homosexual trait, or any other traits that would could lead them into the bed of another man. The game is only a few years right now.

Almost certainly a mod conflict then

It may be your other mods, or it may not. I can't really look at a bug when you have other files at play, however...you might not think they'll affect anything, but until I know for sure there's nothing we can really do, particularly with a report which includes nothing specific I can look at, just a general behavior (which we are not seeing).

Found the problem. It was the mod called Mistress by Dorimi. It's a nice little mod that adds the title mistress and a +40% fertility to the mistress. A few other people are having the same issue. I hadn't even realized I had that one active but I did. Looks like it's a conflict with HL and the patch for it.
