Yay dependencies in a volatile environment.
Seems like you are aware. My internet always seems to go out when I have important code to push.

Thanks for working on it so fast. Its good to know the issue isn't super important. Sorry to hear about your internet ours knocks out randomly sometimes so I know how annoying it can be, If you feel you need your internet sooner and you have a smartphone you should be able to plug it into your computer and create a wifi hotspot. I've had to do that a few times with random internet issues. You just need to be careful of your data as it can go very quick when doing anything internet related.

@FrozenSnowFox So, while I was fixing this my internet went out. The bad news is it will be tomorrow before someone comes to look at it. The good news is, the patches that failed are not super important, so you can ignore the error for now.

Romance on the Rim just updated but it looks like there's an issue with Way Better Romances patch.

@Mousetrap Non-Binary Gender is currently incompatible, pending a major rework of WBR's attraction system. I'm working on this now that my mods are all updated to 1.6. It is compatible with Simple Trans, though I would recommend you use the new Simple Trans Expanded for 1.6. There's a pinned discussion for compatibility you can look at and comment in if you have other compatibility questions.

@FrozenSnowFox Fixed, thank you!
Mousetrap 10 Jul @ 2:11pm 
What is the compatibility with the mods SimpleTrans and Non-Binary, do they work properly together?
Castel 10 Jul @ 2:53am 
Thank for the 1.6 update, this mod is truly an essential for me!
FrozenSnowFox 9 Jul @ 10:28pm 
Getting an error when loading this with Vanilla Social Interactions Expanded. Probably due to the class changes they did in 1.6.

Love this mod. Makes pretty much every colony more dramatic in some way. Looking forward to 1.6!
Ersatz 3 Jul @ 9:02pm 
an amazing and mandatory mod, thanks so much for makin it!

(also why am i not surprised it was one of us who made the romance system rework x33< )
divineDerivative  [author] 28 Jun @ 10:52am 
@SiaNKs I don't think that has anything to do with me, but make a proper bug report and I'll take a look

I really enjoy this mod! I was wanting something like this for a while. found the mod in Mr. streamers mod lists. I wish something like this was in Rimworld already. because I always found it weird and slightly annoying that straight is just the default in game, when asexual makes a lot more sense. anyways great mod and exited to see it ported over to 1.6!

Hey, no question or request here, just wanted to say I really appreciate your mod! Its a must-have for my campaigns and I'm looking forward to when its compatible with version 1.6. Not too complicated, doesn't make gay or ace pawns feel super rare and impossible to pair up with folks. :vote_yes:

@LiterallyBeenVibing There's an FAQ and a compatibility list pinned in Discussions.
LiterallyBeenVibing 13 Jun @ 7:16am 
are there any fertility mods that are supported? id like the game to have kids and stuff without spending 20 bucks on an overpriced undervalued DLC.
Gedsparrow 5 Jun @ 10:51pm 
Oof, I'm an idiot. Thanks
divineDerivative  [author] 5 Jun @ 11:22am 
@Gedsparrow This is answered in the FAQ.
Gedsparrow 5 Jun @ 11:19am 
Does the hookup need sleeping in a bed like in vanilla? I got a pawn with body mastery that I want to give a family to, but since they can't sleep they can't do lovin so I was wondering if this mod can solve that
ElysianEcho 11 May @ 9:58am 
i love the mod! i tweaked preference settings to be closer to real life, i love that couples and friends actually spend time together now instead of dropping the relationship immediately because one works in crafting and he other works construction
Moonshrooms 10 May @ 12:03pm 
Absolutely love this mod! It makes my pawn's romances a lot more fun to create stories with, thank you for sharing it with us :3

This may be too much of an ask, but I was wondering if it was possible to make an addition to the "lovers amount" precept? I'd love if there was a precept that allowed just the Leader pawn to have X amount of lovers, but still have other pawns be limited for theirs? Like a concubine sort of situation. No worries if not! Thanks for making, and continuing to update, this awesome mod!
lol 7 May @ 8:59pm 
Good mod, though 50% default gay is ridiculous; should be 3-4% as in real life
chimera 7 May @ 10:02am 
great mod, thanks, why dates not in vanilla
divineDerivative  [author] 29 Apr @ 6:41am 
@ABigSillay No, existing relationships are taken into account when assigning orientations.

@Pentasis You cannot force someone to initiate a hook up outside their orientation, but they can choose to do it on their own. Check the FAQ for more details on the situations where this is possible. The 12% on the woman's tooltip is the chance the gay man will say yes if she asks him. 12.5% is the highest it can be without the woman having the pretty or beautiful trait.
Pentasis 29 Apr @ 3:59am 
I had a straight woman have a hookup with a gay man. I thought this was impossible? Looking at their relationship I see that the hookup chance woman > man is 12% while the other way around is impossible. See screenshot: https://pasteboard.co/IiDI1VeN7Ct2.png
ABigSillay 28 Apr @ 7:31pm 
if I add it to a save with established vanilla relationships, will it throw a spanner in the works?
divineDerivative  [author] 23 Apr @ 11:31am 
@VovOzaum Please read the FAQ.
VovOzaum 23 Apr @ 11:30am 
"Gay people can be parents too!" how, exactly? you mean they can be gay and have sex with females to make babies or one of the males gets pregnant? not trying to start a woke thing, just asking about the mod.
divineDerivative  [author] 23 Apr @ 11:28am 
@PoneyUpDaddy One for each means they get one spouse and one lover. If you don't want them to have extra lovers, lover count should be3 0.
PoneyUpDaddy 23 Apr @ 11:16am 
@divineDerivative One only for each, there dosen't seem to be any logical reasoning to this which is why i think it's weird. I'm also playing with the "God emperor" and "Royal" memes from Vanilla Ideology Expanded, so the fact that my Leader and highmate successfully became lovers dosen't surprise me, what does is the fact that his wife and her husband did not care and that this problem did not occur in my last playthrough with the same memes and the same settings in the mod's options. Now I don't wanna seem like one of those guys who automatically point the finger at the first mod that's related to their problem, i know it ain't your fault, it is most probably a file corruption problem that ocurred when i started a new playthrough, but im mostly just trying to look for people who has had the same issue hapenning to them. Cant seem to find any tho
divineDerivative  [author] 23 Apr @ 9:49am 
@PoneyUpDaddy What are the spouse count and lover count precepts?
PoneyUpDaddy 23 Apr @ 9:27am 
I've been having some issues for a while. I don't have the "love: free and approved" nor even the "free" ideology precept yet my pawns keep cheating on eachother and their partner does not care. they even get new lovers aside from their spouse, and the spouses do not care. Could it maybe be a mod conflict or some broken files within the modlist? Also, I don't have any other mod that tweaks romance
branch? 21 Apr @ 7:25pm 
Can't hook up or romance with traders?
divineDerivative  [author] 21 Apr @ 10:09am 
@Kirboh I'm not interested in that, no. Maintaining separate versions is too much work, and once I pull out one feature, someone will ask me to pull out another. I'd rather just make things toggleable. What specific features do you not want that can't already be turned off?
Moogle 21 Apr @ 7:00am 
@Kirboh you might as well download something like RJW and just strip out the elements that you don't want, this mod is basically a vanilla version of some of what that mod does
d_valroth 20 Apr @ 3:29pm 
How is that different from vanilla though?
Kirboh 19 Apr @ 1:57pm 
Any chance you could make a "light" version of this mod that only adds the sexual orientation traits to every pawn?
brightsideguy 14 Apr @ 5:35pm 
Ah, didn't know there was a tutorial.

Done and done. Thanks for here and on your discord!
divineDerivative  [author] 14 Apr @ 2:14pm 
@brightsideguy Yes, I built WBR specifically to have compatibility features for races with different ages! Instructions can be found here [github.com].
brightsideguy 13 Apr @ 8:40pm 
Would I be able to patch my race mod to make it ignore age differences?

I'm seeing hoookup chances as low due to age difference, but that differnce isn't meant to matter much for the Takala because they stay alive for a very long time.

@Bongwater Please read the bug reporting section of the description.

somehow this breaks my raids!

Absolute must have mod! thanks so much for maintaining this <3
Duckins 29 Mar @ 1:55pm 
@divineDerivative ah gotcha, thanks! Was reading through the mod description on the github but completely missed the FAQ.
divineDerivative  [author] 29 Mar @ 1:52pm 
@Duckins Yep, read the FAQ.
Duckins 29 Mar @ 1:50pm 
A straight pawn (female) just asked a gay pawn (male) to become lovers and they did. Is that intended behaviour?
divineDerivative  [author] 29 Mar @ 1:28pm 
@Aera There is a list of jobs to not interrupt. If you could be more specific about your criteria I can see about adding some stuff. Is it just things with a long time to complete, or batch jobs in general? If the first, how long is too long?
Aera 29 Mar @ 11:35am 
Is there a way to prevent hookup/hangout requests for occurring with pawns that are doing certain things? I've had it interrupt things with long processing times, like making batch meals, which ends up being rather inconvenient.
divineDerivative  [author] 26 Mar @ 6:40am 
@Mobile Meow Machine Do they have access to any recreation items? They should at least be able to meditate and pray. If you're sure it's a bug please make a proper report, following the instructions in the bug reporting section of the description.
