No Legitimacy

Completely removes legitimacy from the game. If you are not fond of the current implementation of legitimacy, then this mod is for you.

Updated for 1.16.2.3

-Legitimacy removed both from the game systems and UI (tooltips, descriptions, and so on.)

-Events updated to use (mostly) prestige instead

-Activities and decisions use (mostly) prestige instead

-Legitimizing legends grant renown

-Dynasty legacy perks related to legitimacy focus on short reign, tyranny reduction and influence instead

-Buildings and traits give different bonuses/maluses instead of legitimacy

-Foster Legitimacy/Damage Legitimacy administrative scheme now gives a vassal and popular opinion buff/debuff

-"Espouse legitimacy" intent deactivated

-Legitimacy penalty for "ask to take vows" interaction replaced with prestige costs if you don’t have Monastic Communities cultural tradition

-Bolster Legitimacy court task boosts renown and county opinion

Some of the mod’s additions ( like courtly vassals" opinion debuff for lowborn marriage) have been since included into the base game, so these are no longer needed.
I also try to not change areas where Paradox apply check for "has_legitimacy" condition.

Legitimacy is referenced in key vanilla scripts, any total conversion or mechanically-heavy mod will most likely require compatibility patch.

Fresh start is required.

Loading up a save with legitimacy enabled may result in bugs.
