Summary​

Grand Wedding Event - Soulmate Wife becomes my Rival for boasting about our son's wedding

Description​

I am the host of a grand wedding for my third son and his bride. Since my character's wife is the groom's mother, she had a boast event happen and I was the target of the event. I am the father, her husband, and the host of the event, but I have become her rival because she boasted about it to me. That makes no sense! and now my soulmate wife is my rival, she even still has +100 opinion of me because we're so close.

Some suggestions; The host of the wedding should not be eligible to be a target for this event, no matter who is triggering it. Another thing, it seems awkward that a wife, soulmate, lover, or even friend could just become a rival because the person triggering the event is bragging about being successful in life. It would be more sensible if a person becomes a rival if the two characters in question don't have decent relations, like +50 or more. Otherwise, it could just give an opinion malus, or push closer to becoming a rival.

Steps to reproduce​

Whatever this gloating event is in the Grand Wedding. It was some else's event, so I'm not sure if Gloating is the title or whatnot. Check the attached image or the attached save file (may need to open the grand wedding and view the activity log).

Another solution would be to block Rival Relations, if one of them, has positive Opinion of the other.

Opinions and Relations should work together, even someone revokes a title, they should not become Rival, as long they have high positive opinion of them.

I runned now into the soulmate-rival-thing as well, though for me it fired for a not To&To-related event -the old one where an irritable person lashes out and most of the time you lose stress because "of finding it relieving that X has problems" lead to the occasional rivalry here:


Save is attached as well and there was even an earlier bug report of it (which even got an official response, though no final label):

CK III - soulmate is rival?

Short summary of your issue soulmate is rival? Game Version 1.5.1 What OS are you playing on? Windows What platform are you using? Steam What DLC do you have installed? Royal Court, Do you have mods enabled? No Have you...

I would expect that - if such events should fire for soulmates - that either they either...

a) don't harm the soulmate relationship
b) just cancel it
c) or maybe even replace it with a rivalry

...but having both relationships together is just...odd.
