Howdy peoples, I've been playing this mod for quite some time now, but one thing bugs me, the large amount of stillborn children. Now the issue I have is that they really clog up the character screen, especially in cases where a lustful woman constantly shacks up with with numerous men, resulting in her downing moon tea like there is no tomorrow. Whilst pondering on what could be done, I had an idea. If a woman has the character flag 'stillborn', could an event be created to fire a day/week earlier than the birth event, informing of the stillbirth but not creating a character?

If this is possible, I think it could be hugely beneficial to not just limiting the amount of dead babies that spring up throughout the game, but also result in an interesting level of mistrust between husband wife. If a wife has constant stillbirths is it because of her drinking moon tea, or is she simply unlucky? So the idea is essentially an event that fires before the birth of a child whose mother has the character flag stillborn, in an effort to limit the amount of dead babies filling up the family trees. While some babies will be born stillborn regardless (I think, thanks to the RNG) the number of characters in game could be nicely limited. Is this idea practical/possible?
 
I think that Moon Tea should cause miscarriages instead of Stillborns. Increase the fertility rate and add events for miscarriages and stillbirths that end the pregnancy, depending on health factors and whether or not they drank moon tea.
 
I hate the stillborn mechanic so much because married chaste women that are completely loyal and in love with their husband will drink moon tea when they are carrying his child. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

This! There needs to be a way for husbands to influence their wives into not taking moon tea, and for wives with certain traits to not have that option (or, alternatively, that women need certain traits to have the option).
 
Thanks for the feedback on this. For the next update a wife now needs a logical reason to use moontea on their husband's children.

Cool! I don't suppose miscarriage events will be in, to reduce the amount of stillborn babies cluttering up family trees? (I see Cersei downing moontea like theres no tomorrow when she is married to Robert, and since he is so, ahem, virile, that makes for a lot of dead characters.)

It's important, though, that you make miscarriages and stillbirths actual events for people who did not drink moon tea. Otherwise when we find out our wive's had a miscarriage, we would automatically KNOW that it had to be through moon tea, which would just be silly.
