Two modding questions -succession and wives

[Spartanlemur]

1: How can I edit who ends up in the "former wives"/"secondary wives" slot, and can I change the name of this slot? Is there another slot which might be better suited for characters who are essentially adult wards (if the ward slot, can I differentiate between adult and child wards?

2:Is there a way to modify succession rules in any way or form? I've searched the files but can't seem to find where this might be done. I saw that in the FAQ, Doomdark said they are partially moddable, but can't seem to work out how myself.

1. I think it is the marrige date that counts.
I can't see how we can mod adult ward. (not with the actual ward system at least). take a look at Redrooster81's (in Matter of Britain or his other stuff) work on knighthood and education maybe

2. the moddable part is availability of the succession laws, not the laws in itself.

Unfortunate that it's not possible to use the former wives slot for anything else or modify succession laws :\

Is it possible to adopt adults as bastard children through an event?

create courtier decision maybe. but it will be a new created guy if it works.

edit: there is an adoption mod... somewhere around^^

That's quite a helpful idea actually. It's not ideal, as I really need adults of other dynasties to become my heir as a count, but it's definitely a good compromise while waiting to see if we've been granted more moddability in 1.07.

Thanks
