Simple Trans (Expanded)

Description
🏳️‍⚧️ Simple Trans (Expanded) - Gender Identity & Reproductive Biology System

Continued from Runaway's original mod, completely rebuilt for RimWorld 1.6+ ONLY
⚠️ If you are on Rimworld 1.5 please use the original Simple Trans mod!

⚠️ I CHANGED NEARLY ALL OF THE CODE, PLEASE EXPECT BUGS AND REPORT THEM WITH LOGS AND/OR SAVE FILES



📋 REQUIREMENTS - READ FIRST

REQUIRED:
  • Biotech DLC
  • Harmony (brrainz.harmony)
  • XML Extensions (imranfish.xmlextensions)
  • Vanilla Expanded Framework (OskarPotocki.VanillaFactionsExpanded.Core)

LOAD ORDER: Must load AFTER Vanilla Social Interactions Expanded

COMPATIBILITY:
  • ✅ Intimacy - Full compatibility.
  • ✅ Non-Binary Gender - Full integration. For now everyone thinks non-binary people are attractive. Reproduction handled as well.
  • ✅ Way Better Romance - Full integration.
  • ✅ Intimacy + Way Better Romance + Non Binary Gender - Full compatibility (these work together with Simple Trans thanks to a NASTY HACK making non-binary gender attractive to everyone)
  • ✅ Vanilla Framework Expanded - Full integration with gene systems
  • ❌ Identity: Dysphoria - Cool mod for those wanting a more gritty trans experience, check it out if you're more interested in managing colonist moods regarding gender! I may look into trying to make this compatible at some point.
  • ❌ Same Sex IVF - No longer recommended (Simple Trans handles IVF independently via carry/sire system)
  • ❌ Universal Pregnancy - We're patching the same things so even if they did work together it'd be weird, pick one!
  • ❌ Intimacy: Gender Works - Very similar mod to this one, we're doing the same things so you'll just have to pick your favorite!

⚠️ If you are adding mid-save, go to development mode and Debug Tools and click "Validate All Genders" to get reproductive capability and gender identity set for existing pawns. Then there are debug tools to customize further if you want specific pawns to be setup certain ways!
Report bugs, lookat the code, submit patches here: https://github.com/azrazalea/Simple-Trans



💡 Core Concept

Separates gender identity from reproductive biology using RimWorld's hediff system. Instead of gender determining fertility, pawns get individual reproductive capabilities and gender identities that can be medically modified.

Trans rights are human rights. If you're here to complain, please leave.



⚙️ How It Works

Gender Identity Hediffs
  • Pawns spawn with "Cisgender" or "Transgender" hediffs (configurable spawn rates)
  • They can spawn with all variations possible in the mod
  • Config sliders available to control spawn percentages
  • Separate "Carrying Capability" and "Siring Capability" hediffs control reproduction
  • Updated fertility + IVF surgeries work based on reproductive capabilities, not gender
  • All percentages configurable in mod settings

Medical Systems

🔬 Organ Transplantation
  • Extract reproductive organs from one pawn, transplant to another
  • Extracted organs maintain their type (natural carrying/siring anatomy)
  • Surgery can fail, potentially causing capability-specific sterilization
  • Pregnancy is safely terminated if carry organs are removed, there is a warning presented first
  • Children genetically born from transplanted reproductive organs are considered the genetic child of the person currently possessing the organs
  • There might be an optional system for making this be the original organ genetics in the future

🦾 Prosthetic Systems
  • Basic Prosthetics: 70% fertility rate compared to natural anatomy
  • Bionic Prosthetics: 120% fertility rate with perfect contraception control
  • When both partners have matching bionics and want children: 100% pregnancy chance
  • When either partner with bionics wants to avoid pregnancy: 0% chance
  • Prosthetics are additional hediffs that work alongside base capabilities



🎭 Ideology DLC Features

🎉 Gender Affirmation Party Ritual (Ideology DLC only)
  • Ritual for changing Name and Gender identity
  • Community celebration of gender transition
  • Provides mood bonuses and social recognition

🧬 Biosculpter Gender Affirming Cycle (Ideology DLC only)
  • Body type transformation: Changes physical appearance
  • Currently only the vanilla body types but I want to work on adding modded ones as well in the future
  • Reproductive organ modification: Alters reproductive capabilities
  • This will remove prosthetics if present to replace with natural
  • Cures all sterilizations



🛡️ Safety & Consent System

  • Comprehensive informed consent dialogs for irreversible procedures
  • Pregnancy preservation warnings with detailed change summaries
  • Color-coded UI showing exactly what will happen
  • Changes can be undone through additional medical or social procedures



🔧 Technical Details

Sterilization System
  • Capability-specific sterilization: "SterilizedCarry" vs "SterilizedSire" hediffs
  • Failed surgeries apply appropriate sterilization type (tubal ligation → carry sterility)
  • Backwards compatibility converts vanilla "Sterilized" to correct guess based on gender identity

Gene Integration
  • Vanilla Expanded Framework genes can force gender identity
  • Configurable: genes represent assigned gender at birth OR current identity
  • Body type changes respect cisgender status (won't alter cis pawns' appearance)
  • Gene-gender conflicts handled intelligently
  • HAR support in the future



🐛 Debug Tools

  • Debug Mode: Extensive logging for pregnancy/romance mechanics and mod compatibility testing
  • Dev Actions: Validate genders, set identities, modify capabilities
  • Compatibility Testing: Detailed logs for diagnosing mod conflicts



📖 About This Version

Originally by Runaway, this continuation was completely decompiled and rebuilt with:
  • Modern C# practices and comprehensive error handling
  • Extensive new medical systems (surgery, prosthetics, biosculpter integration)
  • Safety features and informed consent dialogs
  • Enhanced mod compatibility and gene system integration

The original philosophy remains: providing meaningful representation for transgender colonists in RimWorld through detailed, respectful gameplay mechanics.

yeah—i was having issues with the siring bionics, too. it wasn't giving me the option to try for a pregnancy in the social menu with my trans man pawn

This is a mod that I wanted to commission.
They told me it couldn't be done.
You're a champion. Could you toss me a friend request so we can discuss something?
azrazalea  [author] 2 Aug @ 8:41am 
@teneski Oh yes, I should patch that. I'll make a GitHub issue today so I don't forget. If I fix that, One expensive option that should still work I think would be to get bionic reproductive parts, if they both have them and have their fertility setting to trying to have a baby they should still be guaranteed to get pregnant when they do lovin. You'd have to be able to set the setting though, which I think is currently blocked?

I've found a bug, or rather an expected behavior in a new context.

My colony has two wives, one of whom is trans, but the social tab shows they're infertile. It took a long time to realize why... she's 52. Female pawns' fertility falls to 0% at age 50.

Her siring capability is effectively halted by a menopause which wouldn't apply. It seems that fertility should be applied based on siring/carrying, not male/female. Likely easier said than done, I realize.

...thinking about it, if I continue HRT for 20 more years and keep my actual siring capability it'll be a small miracle

Also her wife is 48, so their chances are down to 2% already anyway. It's sort of a moot point. But I figured I'd let you know.

My internalized phobic reply guy is having an aneurysm from me describing this bug. If the person reading this has gotten real angry about gender definitions, I've taken this minute of your time and I'm putting it with the rest.

I offer my appreciation for this mod. Be true to you!

Also just realized because of your patches, I can finally used Non-binary! Yipeee!
IcewingDrawer 29 Jul @ 12:46pm 
Love this mod a lot, thank you so much :)
azrazalea  [author] 28 Jul @ 10:08pm 
Yep
Michael J. Caboose 28 Jul @ 9:07pm 
@azrazalea so even tho the modloader says they dont work I use your mod NBG+intimacy+WBR and itll work?
azrazalea  [author] 28 Jul @ 8:16pm 
@michael j. caboose Yes it does. However, my patch hacks them to work together with the caveat I wrote in the mod description.
Michael J. Caboose 28 Jul @ 5:35pm 
In game mod loader says Intimacy and WBR are incompatible with NBG
