A mod that adds an event chain that lets you make a custom ruler. Currently mostly completed, but there are a good number of options and I plan to expand them.
The mod handles the custom character generation by creating a character and assigning them as a child of your current ruler, so you need to select a ruler before designing a custom character.
To get the event chain, go to the decision menu (pressing F8 opens it), and select “Trigger Character Design Event Chain”, and then confirm.
You can customize the character in the event chain after they’ve been created. Once finished, the event chain kills off your current ruler and kills or disinherits immediate dynasty members so that your character inherits.
At the moment you have to be of the first ruler’s dynasty, and be younger than the first ruler.
You can select a male or female character, education traits, personality traits, physical and congenital traits, stress management traits, health traits, commander traits, lifestyle traits, and some other traits, sexuality, culture, and religion. You can also modify your base skill amounts, and name your character.
You can add and remove any traits from the categories mentioned above.
Traits that cause characters unable to inherit are not selectable.
Planned additions/changes:
Localization translation work. Going to be using Paradox’s localization as an example for what I can, and google tl’ing the rest.
Feel free to use anything in my mod in anything else. Crediting is appreciated.
Mod Incompatibilities:
Any mod that adds traits, cultures, religions will not be fully covered by this mod. Also full conversion mods, since they completely change or remove base game cultures/religions, will not work with this mod. I will look into making compatible versions at some point.

(Note: the mod has been updated since translation was provided, so there are some non-localized parts)
