Let It Go – The Abdication Mod
1.3.2: Decision now REALLY doesn’t show up for adventurers. The court position won’t show up for nomads or adventurers, and now has an icon.
1.3.1: Decision no longer shows up for adventurers.
1.3: Made compatible with most recent version.
1.2: Fixed some bugs with the decision not showing up when needed, allowing vassals to abdicate without heirs. Removed restriction on HRE emperor, and more.
1.1: Added game rules that let you choose whether or not AI rulers will abdicate
Are you sick of 70 year old Kings with bubonic plague, loverpox and critical stress at the same time who really should just hand their kids the crown?
If you’re playing vanilla- then you’re out of luck. The only way for a ruler to willingly abdicate is if they get lucky with a stress level 3 treshhold event.
A king who is too old may not spend his last days in peace enjoying the court’s amenities. If you have a genius-herculean-beautiful heir you genetically engineered over three centuries of dynastic eugenics and you want to play them… you’re out of luck, you gotta wait for your character to be 87+ and that heir will be 40 by the time you play as them. Your character might be lazy- caring little for the responsibilities (s)he inherited. Maybe (s)he just wants to retire in a nice room in the palace. Once again, out of luck.
Not with this mod! "Let it Go" allows rulers who meet certain conditions such as old age, bad health, laziness etc. to willingly retire from their positions as rulers and let succession take place.
Afterwards, your next ruler will have the option to either keep hosting the former King in their court, earning grandeur at the gold cost of affording the King’s lifestyle, or throw them out.
This lightweight mod should be compatible with most other gameplay mods, including some total overhauls.
– Decision has no real cost. A renown hit and an option to turn it off will be added.
