Childhood Confussion
I'll Get Straight to the point Some childhoods like Test subject just never show up as Ok I know that little error symbol won't stop me from using it but its beyong confusing and annoying when no mater what I do to my character the mod keeps saying that my test subject is just not right. I change the gender, the age, the name, the adulthood it just doesn't mater its always wrong and I'm getting soooo annnoyed by the lack of feed back with that errorr. So I'm here, maybe someone who has successfully used that Childhood without the warning could explain to me what the game or this mod wants out of me! Btw outside of that little Bugger of a issue I am ennjoying my first experience with the mod, it really opens up alot of possiblities so Thank you for making it.

You can compeltely ignore these warnings. Take a look at the explanation in the Frequently Asked Questions section:

"What does the backstory warning mean? Can I use those backstories?
Some of the backstories are written with placeholders for names and gender pronouns. For these, the mod can easily substitute in any name or gender that you choose. However, some of the backstories are written without any placeholders, with the name and gender pronouns hard-coded. For these, you're stuck with those descriptions as they are written. It's safe to assume that the ones that are hard-coded are the backstories that people have paid extra to add to the game, so it sort of makes sense that they would not be written in way that is easily modifiable. You can still use them, but if the name in the description doesn't match the name that you've chosen for your colonist, this is the reason why."

I don't want to take up any more of your Time but I want to bring up just on more thing. The weird thing is that often the errored backstory does not seem to have a name in it or any gender related to it. So I'll assume its one of those paid for backstories that has some type of unknown factor apart of it that is not easily determined by just reading it. Thanks for the clarification, if I wasn't so OCD about wanting to get everything perfect this wouldn't even bother me lol Again I want to thank you for your work.
