ROM Hack Fire Emblem Awakening Same-Sex Marriage (+ More)

[TotalInsanity4]

Anyway, I'm excited for the Fates patch. At this point it's practically impossible to get all the kids if you play as a male because kids now come from the fathers and I guess there's more males than females. Like I'm doing Birthright right now and I can't get Takumi married because the only female left is Scarlet and she can only marry Corrin. But apparently you can't get kids from the gay marriage options already in the game, so is there any way you can change that?

Well... ish. The game is hardcoded to disallow children for same-sex couples, and fixing that is far out of my depth. @DeathChaos25 deduced a way to theoretically get around this and dupe the game into giving you children for same-sex couples (involving flagging one of the two characters in the marriage as the opposite gender) but it involves editing Gamedata.bin multiple times and is probably not something the average person could do.

This is true for any file EXCEPT text files, those you drag into FEAT and it'll compress them for you.

Noted. Didn't test any support I made though so I wasn't certain. I'm also excited for the Fates patch but I'm taking the game much slower than what I expected since I'm waiting for the DLC.

Oh well. Even if this can't be done, adding supports so that Scarlet and Flora can marry the other guys would fix the problem of not being able to get all the kids. Man, I really want same-sex supports but I think I care more about getting kids. I'm torn.

Yeah i was gonna give them supports with the guys, as well as Anna.

Just curious, regarding fates:

Is there a way to edit my avatar's gender?

Ideally, what I want to do is have a male MU, marry a guy of my liking, and have the boy kid.

I was thinking, start the game as female, make the above happen, then hax myself back to being a dude? Would that work, or would that break stuff. D:

For getting every children in a single route, your best option is to make a second Corrin that's the opposite gender, and do some very specific set ups.

For gay marriage, I think someone said that no matter what, any gay marraige (ex: M!Corrin+Xander) locks them out of getting children, but I'm not so sure on that.

Also, has anyone made a picture of what Fate's decompressed save files look like in HxD, I'm trying to get a second Corrin that can support.

With some very tedious steps and workarounds on the GameData.bin file, you can have kids in gay marriages.

Say you're marrying Tsubaki and Saizou, both are male, locking you out of both Matoi and Grey, however, with some small repetitive steps and setups in rom hacking, you can get around this.

First, you need to prep them up, have them ready to S support, but don't do it just yet, save your file and go to your romfs to do some editing.

Second, make a backup of your romfs, or just GameData.bin.lz as you'd edit GameData.bin.lz, located in the GameData folder of the romfs.

Drag into FEAT to decompress, then drag the .bin file into your hex editor of choice, you'd have to locate either Saizou or Tsubaki's character block.

Tsubaki's character block starts at address 0x1478, the very first byte in the character block tells the game whether this character is male, female, male MU or Female MU.

Tsubaki's value should be set to 00 (male), change this to 01 (female) and save the changes you have done to Tsubaki's character block, compress the bin file with BatchLZ77, rename it to GameData.bin.lz, replace it in the romfs and load up HANS (or NTR).

Next, have Tsubaki and Saizou marry, if done correctly, both Grey's and Matoi's paralogues should unlock as expected, because the game reads the marriage as Saizou(male) and Tsubaki(edited character block so now flagged as female), recruit both child characters, and save the game.

Note that you shouldn't leave Tsubaki flagged as female, because this will affect his classes and the game will force him to only be able to reclass to female options, so either simply restore your backup romfs/GameData.bin.lz, or go through the decompress/edit/compress process again to flag Tsubaki back as a male character.

This hasn't been tested yet, but there is no reason why this shouldn't work.

Ive done the patch but HOW would you do MaMU x FeMU? You can only get one MU per game without the logbook and logbook units cant support.

Fancy save editing stuff I wouldn't know.

 

[Ezehokadrim]

I'd explain how I did but I'm not even certain how I did. XD But yeah I edited my ChapterX save to convert a Logbook MU in a story MU.

You'd only have to do part one because part two is part of this patch.

It's here, everyone! The Fates patch!

I just want to ask that, do all the same-sex S supports have unique conversations?

right now they probably dont just like in awakening, only oboro/f!kamui and hana/sakura seem to have them

I mean the Awakening one. What happens when S-rank is achieved? They just suddenly get marriage?

Oh yeah, except I think there are some few ones that do have an conversation.
