Noob(ish) needs help
I am playing CK3 with all DLC and no mods.
I am having a dream run, and I was planning on this being my world domination gig. Its been going almost perfect. However I need/really want to reform my religion now, and its completely screwing up my well laid plans.
I am playing norse, want to reform asatru to set up my dynasty for the long haul (communion, astrology, esoteric with temporal HoF). I am trying to make it equal (than change succession law to male preference, but it still screws me even if I leave the gender thing be)
My current heir is my grandson by my first son (first son died unfortunately). The grandson is a great heir, and I have been building around him taking over. When I reform, it boots him as heir for my oldest living son (or daughter with gender law change)... even if my grandson is my current regent and converts at the time of reformation. The only reason I can think why, would be his dad is dead and so cant convert, or just some bug/stack issue or something.
This run has been going great and I dont want it derailed like this. I started from one county, have established the empire of Scandinavia, plus took the Kingdoms of Alba, Ireland, and Estonia... my witch coven is up and running, my bloodline is strengthened, I have the wiseman trait, Im 69 with excellent health and hopefully 20ish years left to keep setting this up for the heir. Its 936 AD and I really think I could world dominate this thing (plus I am getting achievements because I havent debugged yet and was under the creation point limit)
How can this be fixed? If nothing, is this a "bug" I can report to paradox and have them fix? If not, can I hard force this with console commands (even though I would rather not) without giving myself a ton of renown and prestige and then disinheriting a ton of people?
