Summary​

Sorting by "Sum of all skills" includes prowess which is stupid and wrong

Description​

The only reason to sort by "Sum of all Skills" is when searching for a spouse to get the best overall bonuses. No one uses the filter "Sum of all Skills" wanting it to include prowess, Not one person ever. Worse then unnecessary this is actively frustrating as it makes the filter entirely useless. Being "technically correct" is pedantic and frustrating, a quality of life improvement would be to remove prowess from the filters attribute list. When I searched for this issue it was brought up before in https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...-sum-of-all-skills-actually-does-not.1487185/
working as intended is a stupid response, no one trying to use this filter thinks this is working as intended. It is just a time sink until you figure out how it actually works and then frustrated never use the filter ever again

Steps to reproduce​

use the find a spouse action. from the Sort by: drop down select the option "Sum of all Skills" notice that the top results don't make sense when adding up the 5 attributes that are listed. prowess is not listed in the UI and yet makes the math work for which filter results are displayed.

Hello! Thank you for your report and suggestion. Inclusion of Prowess in the mentioned filter is indeed a design choice. If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to ask about it on the main forum for the game. Have a nice day!
