Aww, cute idea! Will do!

How about adding "Fan" and "Idol" relationship types (separate for each pawn, like "Subordinate", "Supervisor" and "Assistant")?

@Null

Thank you so much, enjoy!

This is such a huge addition for people who love to roleplay their colonies. Thank you for your time and effort :)

@L. Velociraptor
Thank you for the nice words!

@Accord Ayre
Thank you for pointing that out, the good old "ah this is case sensitive oops" update will be pushed momentarily.

Some of the new ThoughtDefs aren't named what the RelationDefs expect. The god child, god parent, and sibling in arms defs, specifically.

Thank you so much for adding Chosen Family and also thanks for the update! I really like the new relationships you've added in the most recent update. :p2cube:

@badstream

I absolutely love my own godmother and I can't believe I hadn't thought about including this myself. Consider it added in a next update!

Also, you absolutely CAN make mods yourself. Reach out in the RimWorld Discord, the people are happy to help!

just a suggestion/humble request :D

i started searching for a mod to add godmother/godfather or unofficial aunt/uncle kind of thing. While playing a gravship crew run, I found myself wishing for a role along those lines i mentioned. Imagine, you grow up on a ship battling and surviving with your parents and their crew, yet the tight-knit crew is only your acquaintance... that doesnt seem right! That's auntie Andromeda, not some stranger or mere friend! Chosen family is close to what I'm looking for and will certainly do in the meantime or if this suggestion falls flat.

either way, Im excited to add your already existing relationship mods to my game right now.
Cheers and bless the modders of rimworld, you fine folk give this game its wings. thank you! :steamhappy:
I'd mod it in myself if i could orz

@Whisper

Coworker/colleague will be added in the next version.



@Consigned to Oblivion

Partner and brothers-in-arms as well.
Consigned to Oblivion 3 Aug @ 8:41am 
There probably should be something closer to partners, or something like that. Like police officers working together, soldiers on deployment, emergency crews etc... have. More than friends, not exactly romantic based, mostly job-situation dependent and focused on past shared experiences, and can include more people than just 2. Maybe make them nullify the slighted negative opinion towards each other? It would be a nice addition to crashlanded starts for example, making your starting pawns in different scenarios have bonus opinion for those they "worked with" for a long time.
Whisper 3 Aug @ 5:02am 
Perfect for immersion and role-play.
I'm surprised there's no colleague relation for pawns that work together but aren't higher or lower on the corporate totem pole. My pawn's water cooler chats will benefit greatly if you add it!

@b

thank you for saying that! I hope you go on to enjoy much more of RimWorld!
b 23 Jul @ 1:39pm 
thats very nice of you.
great mod btw. my roleplay scenarios have become much more enjoyable.
lydocia  [author] 23 Jul @ 10:57am 
@b

Professor - Student is actually a good one to add as well! I'll put it on the list!
b 23 Jul @ 8:53am 
✨(الله)✨ is my witness i came here to suggest a master-student relationship and saw mentor has already been added. life is good. thank you.

@Ciurrus

no YOU are awesome
Ciurrus 22 Jul @ 5:51am 
awesome, and your mods is awesome!
lydocia  [author] 22 Jul @ 1:35am 
@Ciurrus

I'll put Battle/Shield siblings on the idea list.

Brother/sister/mother/father relationships already exist vanilla.
Ciurrus 21 Jul @ 2:16pm 
Battle/Shield Brother/Sister Companion? Clan (Bro/Sis/Mother/ Father) just speedballing here.

@PetLoverSpy

Happy to hear you're enjoying the mod!
PetLoverSpy 17 Jul @ 2:53pm 
THANK YOU for this mod, it's so helpful to roleplay my current colony which has a lot of kids in it that got raised by teens - not quite adoptive relationships but still so uncomfortable to have them getting together lmao. Childhood friend is going to work great for a descriptor!
lydocia  [author] 12 Jul @ 2:51am 
@hard erect balls :3

I will as soon as I have the energy to!
hard erect balls :3 11 Jul @ 6:56pm 
can u mark as 1.6 pls thx u :3 AMAZING MODDER KEEP IT UP
lydocia  [author] 11 Jul @ 4:32pm 
@DuckGoosebear PrairieDogLover

As-is, it will throw you an error saying the version number is incompatible, but it will most likely just work as it doesn't touch anything that would be affected by the 1.6 update.
will this work on 1.6 or does it require some change?
lydocia  [author] 4 Jun @ 10:37pm 
@mynameactually

You're not obligated to use the mod or the childhood friend relationship if you don't want to roleplay this particular situation.
mynameactually 4 Jun @ 6:03pm 
Childhood friend? Rip for everyone childhood friend character that everyone thinks should be together. lol
lydocia  [author] 12 May @ 6:06am 
@MNY

Essentially, yes!
It makes sure that certain people won't have a romantic/sexual relationship because they already have a platonic one.
MNY 12 May @ 3:03am 
friendzone mod?

@fake james

So have I haha
fake james 23 Apr @ 11:13pm 
Ive been waiting for this mod for 3 years ty
lydocia  [author] 16 Apr @ 11:28pm 
@Tae

Thank you, I'll take that into consideration!
Tae 16 Apr @ 11:25pm 
No, I'm not very experienced with mods so I don't plan to. Just an idea if you plan to make any more relationship mods!
lydocia  [author] 16 Apr @ 10:34pm 
@Tae

That's a great idea! Are you going to make it yourself?
Tae 16 Apr @ 7:58pm 
I have an idea for a relationship mod. What about disliked relationships? like "enemy" or "disliked" or "cheated on" etc? i think that would add more variety to relationships :)
lydocia  [author] 15 Feb @ 3:26pm 
@vincent_calgari

Please check out my other mod, Adoptive Relationships.
It works the same way this one does, so there isn't a mechanic to adopt, you'll still have to manually add the relationships with Character Editor.

vincent_calgari 15 Feb @ 2:47pm 
hey do you have any interest in making it to where a child pawn can get adopted by an adult pawn i ask because i want to make a colony with a start as a run down orphanage with a matron who is basically immortal super mom adopter of smol (wholesomeness for the win)
lydocia  [author] 2 Feb @ 5:08pm 
@Hoomi

I haven't tested it, but I guess it should work if you just change the version number in the config.
Hoomi 2 Feb @ 1:33pm 
Is there a way to make it available for 1.4? been playing with my current colony for a long time now.
lydocia  [author] 15 Jan @ 5:42am 
@Pippintastic

You should see which mod it belongs to when you hover over it.
Pippintastic 14 Jan @ 2:41am 
Found it, Vanilla Social Interactions Extended adds a Best Friend tag. It can be turned off too, so obviously no big game crashes possible.
Pippintastic 14 Jan @ 2:36am 
@lydocia I think that maybe another mod (or even possibly in base game I don't know) has a "Best Friend" option already so two options are present to choose from with no real way of telling which is which. The only difference is that you can romance your best friend with the other option.
lydocia  [author] 10 Jan @ 11:41am 
@ThePhantomX64

What do you mean?
ThePhantomX64 10 Jan @ 11:19am 
is it normal to see the best friend thing twice?
