Crusader Kings 3 mods will soon be able to add in same-sex marriage

Last month's big 'Corvus' patch for grand strategy game Crusader Kings III introduced a host of free new features alongside the Northern Lords flavour pack, but it also had a surprising effect: mods that had allowed characters to take same-sex concubines stopped working. Paradox says this functionality will be returning soon, along with support for same-sex marriage mods, in upcoming patches.

In the latest developer diary, Paradox explains that same-sex concubinage was "unintentionally possible" to mod into the game prior to the 1.3 patch, but that due to some of Crusader Kings III's underlying code, this could lead to a "variety of errors." That led the team to restrict the functionality in patch 1.3 while it worked out a solution.

"Since then, we've made changes to properly support same-sex concubinage, and it will come alongside other modding improvements in 1.3.X," the dev diary reads. "Further, we plan to support same-sex marriage for mods in 1.4. Due to larger technical risks surrounding it, it was not feasible to include that in 1.3.X; we need more time to test it to ensure that this support does not introduce bugs in the vanilla game."
