What features do you want to see in the next update?
I have some time and interest again in updating this mod, but I can only work on so much each update and I have too many ideas to know where to start.

1. Spouse vs Mistress Event
- Would be an event chain that could end with your spouse becoming friends, rivals or lovers with your mistress

2. Mistress asks you to marry them/divorce your spouse Event
- Another event chain where if you aren't lovers with your spouse, you might start plotting to get rid of your spouse for your mistress. Could result in you having to start a new religion to get divorced if the pope/religious leader doesn't allow it
- If you aren't married and your mistress is pregnant, they may ask for you to marry them so the kid is legitimate. Potential that you stop being lovers and she leaves her role if you pick the wrong options (eg. diplomacy checks, gold, etc)

3. Child of Mistress' get extra prestige + associated events (they may start asking for titles etc)

4. Add more traits that makes a mistress choice scandalous other than gender

5. Mistress can become 'spouse' councillor to boost your stats at the cost of prestige and opinion

6. Female ruler with male paramour pregnancy event
- Not entirely sure how this would look like but is very overdue. I imagine male paramours should take a higher opinion and prestige penalty for female rulers and getting pregnant by one would result in one of:
- You passing the pregnancy as your husbands
- Hiding the pregnancy and sending the bastard to be raised elsewhere
- Raise the bastard at court
Revealing the bastard should take a hit to piety and prestige. Sending your bastard to be raised by someone would give them a hook on you

Please let me know which ones interest you the most (you can pick more than one, but in order would be best) so I know where to start! If you have any other ideas please chuck them in the comments too

1, 2, then 4. All are great ideas!!!!!
I agree, all of these are great ideas! My picks would be 1, 2, 5, and 3, but again, all of them are great!
I like them all, 1,2,3 and 5. 6 are quite interesting i can't imagine how would i be like if my female ruler can get mister to be with, would be interesting to see

thanks for your opinions, i'll try to get 1 out as an update soon and hopefully others to come!
If possible, I would like more mistress slots
I might suggest the ability for same-sex concubines for rulers who are gay or bi and in a religion that accepts it.

Concubines are a bit out of scope for the mod sadly, but you can have paramours that are same sex depending on your ruler traits and religion.

Mistress slots I will consider! It might be too powerful as I don't want it to override concubines but I'll keep it bouncing in my noggin
1,2,4, and 5 are all good ideas! Another thing is to maybe give them a modifier for regencies legitimacy? also maybe consider paramour options that are in the family Hapsburg style if there are conditions for it?

incestuous paramours might be something I can consider if divine marriage or incest is legal for the realm. im actually not sure if my mod forbids that actually, i dont think I do a family member check, they just have to be your lover and hold no lands.

its very crusader kings to want this though so I'll think about what I can do to have better support of 'forbidden' paramours (sexuality, incestuous, criminals etc)
First to last: 4,6,1,2,3
5 doesn't seem like something that would make sense unless you also have significant opinion penalties added on top. It would be another kind of scandal. ("Mistress has too much influence")

5 would have really heavy opinion penalties for sure and I would imagine would give your spouse the ability to demand their position back - But I think it's definitely within the realms of realism. Both Agnès Sorel and Diane de Poitiers who were royal mistresses (though this was later than most ck3 starts, like in the 15th and 16th century) that had a lot of influence over the king and governance in general while the queen was largely powerless. In those scenarios I'd translate that to the mistress being the spouse councillor to boost the stats or whatever of the player ruler, rather than the spouse.

I do think it would be an interesting dynamic to toy around with, with the new roads to power expansion it could be fun to play as a character who seduces their way to power. I'm probably the last one who should say it but I'd like to play that whenever I have the time to implement it
