Adoptive Relationships

Description




I absolutely love having random children join my colony, I love taking them in and roleplay that one or two pawns adopt the child as it moves into their home and lives with them and their family.
But I hate that that relationship never becomes official. They're just orphans living in your colony.

I couldn't find any mods that added an adoption mechanic or anything like it, so I decided to do the next best thing and added adoptive relationships. If you're looking to exclude pawns from romancing each other but don't want them to adopt each other, check out my other mod Platonic Relationships.

These relationships do not happen naturally, you will have to add them manually at the beginning of the game using Prepare Carefully or mid-game using Character Editor.

Thank you very not for introducing me to the phenomenon 'Sweet Baby Boy'.
Because of you, these relationships are now non-incestuous. You're welcome.
Pawns with these relationships between them will not be able to romance each other.
And no, I will not add an alternative version to accomodate that, you sick weirdos, so don't ask.

FAQ

- Will you add rituals / interactions to adopt outside of Character Editor/Prepare Carefully?

No. I don't have the bandwidth for more complicated code mods at this time. Maybe later.


- Will you add autonomous adoption?

No, I definitely want it to be a conscious choice.


- Will you add the option to romance my stepsister?

No.

if, for instance, a pawn already has a child and adopts another child, will the two children automatically be adopted siblings or do ALL the relationships need manually added?

It will not unless you remove those manually yourself!

Will this mod overwrite preexisting bio relationships? My pawn saved their nephew and he joined the colony. id lovee to make them adoptive parent and son but I dont want to overwrite them being bio uncle n nephew.

@Miss Bonafide

Seems like that mod might override the default settings. That's on their end, not something I can account for.

Ooh, that is actually very cute! It would work better within Platonic Relationships, I think, but consider it added the next time I push an update!

I love both of your relationship mods, thank you for making them!

If you don't mind the suggestion; What would you think about a kinda generic "adopted family" or "chosen family" with no boost or a boost similar to cousin or something small like that? I know you have the platonic relationships so maybe it'd work better there, just a small thing I though I'd suggest for different family styles.

I think there's a soft incompatibility with turkler's "intimacy" mod. One of my pawns was boinking her adoptive son :(
