Custom character not able to join existing house?

[Vortex_13]

Was this removed? The traits to join the existing houses are no longer in the character creator and there doesn't seem to be any decision or event that fires when you start the game. Is it possible to make a character that belongs to say House Blackfyre anymore?

I think you need to reinstall perhaps. I use the trait all the time, and just used it in fact, and I am using the latest build.

Found it. I just missed the trait.

Double check your client, and try typing in the console "add_trait house_customizer" to see if you are given the trait.

edit: woops, didn't read your comment

I've had an issue with this too. I can join a House with a custom character as long as the House has a living member. If the House is extinct, I can't join it. For example, I wanted to revive the Reynes during The War of The Five Kings. However, I couldn't interact with any of the members of the House. On the other hand, I was able to join the Lannisters no problem with the same character.

There is an event at the start to pick extinct houses, take it and then the reyne option

What if I want to have a character join house targaryen and they are extinct in my current game? Targs aren't in the event to pick extinct houses.

I don't believe the customizer event where you choose which extinct house you wish to join is dynamic. The Targs are alive in all starting dates, so they would not be listed as an option under the house customizer. As far as I am aware the event does not update itself with any houses that go extinct during gameplay.

Hmm. So if a house goes extinct during gameplay there's no alternative but reloading? I tried adding the trait "customizer_targaryen" or something like that that I saw in the traits folder, but it didn't work.
