Vanilla Aspirations Expanded is another mod in our arsenal that aims to add depth to colonists, with a final aim being enhancing the storytelling and making characters more memorable. In a similar manner to The Sims aspirations, Vanilla Aspirations Expanded adds aspirations to colonists that the player may choose to aim towards.

Completing aspirations provides permanent benefits, and completing all aspirations triggers a growth moment for the colonist, providing them with passions and traits that the player chooses.

Colonists may have a number of aspirations, some may be easier to achieve, while other may be harder. Not completing aspirations does not cause any negative effects, so the only effects that the player may obtain from aspirations are positive ones.

This mod allows you to fill the end game void by letting you strive to fulfill the dreams and desires of your colonists, whatever they may be!





















































































A: Can I add it mid-playthrough to an existing save?
A: Yep!

Q: Are there some restrictions when it comes to which aspirations show up on what pawns?
A: Yes, we have a system in place that for example prevents certain aspirations from appearing on pawns with a certain trait. For example, a technophobe pawn will not want to have an android waifu or a mechanical body.

Q: Can I edit the aspirations of my pawn?
A: Yes! Dev commands exist that allow you to remove or add specific aspirations to your colonist.

Q: Does this work with Combat Extended?
A: Of course.

Q: Why do only colonists have aspirations?
A: Aspirations are player-centric system. To avoid performance overhead, they only appear on player-controlled pawns. No reason to spawn them on travelling merchants as they can’t complete their aspirations or benefit from them anyway.

Q: Where can I see the aspirations?
A: They work as a Need, so they'll be in the pawn's Need tab

Q: Why do my androids suddenly lack all aspirations?
A: We disabled aspirations from androids as they just couldn't achieve a lot of them and people were complaining



Corpse Info mod has been reported as causing aspirations to reset if the pawn dies and is resurrected

Sorry if this has been reported before:

When duplicated by the corrupted obelisk (Anomaly), the copy of the pawn that already completed their aspirations will get yet another growth moment, essentially making it possible to abuse this system by duplicating non-stop, getting double passion on everything and like 20 traits lol.

@тетеря, блин: No idea what that would entail. As for Paniel, adding compatibility would be on their end

@Z3ro: Not caused by this mod, already tested several times

one of my pawns aspires to experience resurrection but when they die and come back they have a completely different set of aspirations?

on loading a Paniel pawn from the mod I linked below:

[VAspirE] Exception while checking completion of VAspirE_GetEntombed: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

please, if possible, add compatiblity with RimDialogues, so these aspirations could be fed to LLM.

Rimworld Mod Users when confronted with Pawns that have equally unreasonable expectations as themselves think it's gotta be a bug or something.
Sarg Bjornson  [author] 31 Jul @ 8:23am 
Yep, fullfilling these is NOT needed. It's a little extra. Some people will have unreasonable aspirations
GrandPa 31 Jul @ 5:33am 
to many want to become vampire mushrooms or get joy wired and die if not just inhuman alone. and they are the very common ones. im just damn lucky if some want become parents... or something normal.

please, add a compatibility with this one:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3305504186

it throws errors on pawn generation using both mods, I've posted them there.
