How it works:

For Male Player

-The game will no longer make your wife pregnant automatically since that feature is disabled by installing this mod, but if for some reason you want it enabled, you can enable it back in the mod settings if you desire.

-If you want to have a baby you must talk to your wife, and ask her to pass time together, you will see the black screen effect and some sounds after her reply. there is a probability (70%) that she can get pregnant, if she does, you will be notified after not more than tree days (1-3). also you will need to have at least 0 relation with her, on the contrary the option will not appear. The pregnancy's probability, The time for the pregnancy to be notified, and the relation needed can be adjusted in the mod settings.

-If you want to have a baby with other lady who is not your wife (a bastard), you can talk to the lady and ask her to pass time together, the same method and conditions will be applied to her. The lady can be another noble, a wanderer or a notable (like merchants, gang leaders, rural notables etc.), also, if you wish to pass time together with a family member, you can enable the incest option in the config file.

-After pass time together with a lady, few random days will need to pass (1-3) so you can ask the same lady to pass time together once more. This amount of time can also be adjusted in the mod settings. There is also an adjustable value in the settings to set the amount of times the player can "pass time together" with ladies in a single day, it is limited to 10 by default.

-If a lady conceived your child, and for some reason you no longer want her to give birth, you can go and tell her that you do not want that child, if she understands your petition she will make an abortion the soon as possible (not more than one day), but (as expected) there is good chance for her to refuse, it is fully based on the lady's traits.

-A lady can also decide that the world is too hard and cruel for his unbor

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust: 4,755 endorsements and 288,341 downloads show it's a go-to for family gameplay.
  • Adds a ton of new options—bastards, adoption, same-sex pregnancy—that vanilla lacks.
  • Active development: last updated June 2026, so it's kept current with the game.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Bannerlord version BL v1.2.8—if you're on a different version, you might hit compatibility issues.
  • The abortion system is RNG-based on traits, so you can't always control the outcome, which might frustrate some players.
  • Black screen effect and sounds for intimate scenes might feel cheap or immersion-breaking for some.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Bannerlord players who want to dive deep into family and dynasty management, especially those who enjoy role-playing as a noble with heirs and bastards. It's also for players who want more control over pregnancy and reproduction than vanilla offers. Skip if you're not interested in family mechanics or prefer a more hands-off approach.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure your game version matches BL v1.2.8 exactly—check your game's version in the main menu before installing.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle installation and load order, as manual placement can cause conflicts.
  • Test the mod on a new save first to avoid breaking an existing campaign, especially with the pregnancy mechanics.
