Historically Accurate Marriages
This was originally apart of my Modular Misc Tweak mod that will be coming out soon however I decided to split it off into its own mod.
Although it wasn’t the norm, it wasn’t uncommon for marriages to occur when either or both parties were quite young (even younger than this mod allows). And so I’ve lowered the marriage age to twelve. This does mean that, once married, females will be able to become pregnant so make sure you’re careful!
This mod also tweaks sexuality percentages since there’s plenty of evidence to support other sexualities being prevalent in the ancient world. In fact, the words homosexual/ity and heterosexual/ity are quite new terms as sexuality used to be seen as something more fluid and undefined aside from general sexual taboos that would apply to sex between any gender combination. Regardless, I don’t think I made the change too crazy. The distribution is now:
– Heterosexual: 89 → 60
– Homosexual: 5 → 10
– Bisexual: 5 → 25
– Asexual: 1 → 5
I did add some modifications to marriage and divorce acceptance however I don’t think they took (at least for marriage acceptance, I didn’t test the divorce portion much). It seems they hard coded that, too. If they ever unhard code the stuff they did with the 1.18.1 update then it should work. I also tried to figure out how to get marriage proposals sent to and accepted by a country you’re at war with to trigger white peace but sadly couldn’t figure it out. If any one else does, please share so I can include it 💕
I’d recommend using this with Momicchi’s Force Marry Prisoner ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2902463868 ) if you want to also be able to marry off prisoners. Load order won’t matter since it uses its own code.
Load order
My mods overwrite as little as possible. So, it’s generally a good idea to have them at the bottom of your load order, or as low as possible.

Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with the Love Marriage Family and Family Romance mods. This mod make changes to: 00_marriage_scripted_modifiers & 00_marriage_interactions. It also makes some changes to 00_family_triggers, 04_ep2_wedding_triggers, and 00_defines. Mods modifying divorce or elopement should be compatible as I didn’t change those sections. If you do find there to be a conflict with a major mod, please narrow it down to the specific mod causing the conflict and I’ll see what I can do.
Due to the modifications that had to occur to make this mod work, you will no longer be able to assign guardians to a child once they turn twelve. However, they won’t lose their previously assigned guardian until sixteen when they normally would (with all the benefits). Guardianship between 12-16 will effectively function the same aside from this minor drawback. And, as a bonus, they’ll be able to take on wards of their own once they turn twelve.
