better wedding guests

Improve discovery for wedding guests and make them more personal, or you can invite yourself.

Description

This mod does two things:

First of all, it changes the finding of the guests for your wedding. Where previously it was random from any people with a positive disposition towards you or your spouse, it now works off a priority system, trying to invite whoever is closest to you or your spouse first. This means, for example, that your children will always be invited if you have any.

Secondly, it allows you to invite your own wedding guests if you want to, rather than letting the algorithm find them. This means that after the objective "Speak to Maramal about arranging your wedding" is displayed, but before it is completed, you can invite people to your wedding. These will be your guests, as your spouse will invite their own, so you can only invite three people. Make them count! If you made a mistake in inviting someone you can un-invite them, though they won't be happy. You can invite and then un-invite someone as many times as you like, and you can only invite someone with a positive opinion of you.

After talking to Maramal and him telling you the wedding will be the next day, wait 30-60 seconds until you start the actual wedding if you want to make sure the system has had time to process everything.

Compatibility

This mod should be compatible with almost anything, except mods that change the aliases of the RelationshipMarriageWedding quest and a mod that changes the stage of the vanilla "The bonds of Matrimony" quest. It contains only one overwrite of a story manager node.

Installation

Install with a mod manager or unzip into your data folder and activate the esp.

Uninstallation

As with all mods, uninstallation is not recommended on an active save. However, since almost everything shuts down after the wedding, there should be no issues.

describe

This mod does two things:

First, it changes how guests discover weddings. Previously anyone who had a positive preference for you or your spouse was random, now it takes precedence over a priority system that tries to invite the people closest to you or your spouse. This means that, for example, if you have children you will always be invited.

Second, it allows you to invite your own wedding guests if you choose, rather than letting an algorithm find them. This means that after the goal "Talk to Maramal about arranging your wedding" is revealed, but before it is completed, you can invite people to your wedding. These will be your guests, so you can only invite three people since your spouse will invite themselves. Make them count! If you make a mistake inviting someone, you can uninvite them, but they won't be happy. You can invite and uninvite someone as many times as you like, and you can only invite people who have a positive opinion of you.
