Designate Heir – freely

Designate your heir freely from your close/extended family and dynasty at any authority level for no cost at any time. Includes memories and opinions.

Replaces the vanilla designate heir character interaction in the diplomacy menu.

You can designate any member of your close family, extended family or your dynasty as your heir. The cost is free and can be done under any level of authority right from the start of the game.

You, your previous heir, your new heir and your children will all have a memory of your action, and all of them will have an opinion of you, either positive or negative depending on which side of the designation they are.

Whatever Paradox’s reasons are, they have locked celestial government choice of heir, there is nothing I can do atm to get around that restriction.

Administrative governments in general have to abide by vanilla administrative rules, so noble families can only choose close family members.

While the default mode is free of charges, you can change the mod’s game rule to implement vanilla prestige and influence costs if you prefer to be charged for the action.

AI cannot break vanilla rules.

Ironman = yes

Also not compatible with any other mod that changes the vanilla designate heir interaction. So if one of the mods you already use like a cheat mod for example replaces the vanilla designate heir character interaction, then place this mod after it in the load order.

There appears to be a bug in game atm that causes a CTD if you attempt to assign any parent or grandparent as your designated heir, so DO NOT DO THAT. You have been warned!
