Trait Suggestions!
I mentioned hoping to see polyamory in the comments a bit ago, but I wanted to offer up a couple other trait suggestions that came to me while I was going through a game.Food for thought and all that!

And thanks again for all the great mods!

  • Polyamorous: Gets a mood bonus if their relationship/hookup partner is also polyamorous. Gets a mood malus if their relationship/hookup partner is not polyamorous. If their relationship partner is not polyamorous, the non-polyamorous relationship partner will get a mood malus for the relationship with the polyamorous pawn. Will hookup with other pawns even when in a relationship. Does not count as cheating.

  • Sex Repulsed: Will not take lovers or hookup. Responds negativly to woo attempts or hookup attempts. (Depending on how relationship coding works, you could actually let sex repulsed pawns take lovers but never do lovin'. This could give a mood malus to their partner pawn unless they are also sex repulsed).

  • Non-Judgemental: Nullifies the pentalty against disfigured, ugly, or creepy pawns. Non-judgemental pawns don't care what their partner looks like!

  • Emotional: Gets a higher mood bonus for being in a relationship. Gets a worse mood malus if their partner is unfaithful or breaks-up with them. More likely to cause social fights? Higher mental break threshold?

All very nice suggestions!

I'm currently working on Poly, with the big question being how to control whose bed a colonist ends up in!

I'm not entirely convinced by sex repulsed, but I am interested in low libido colonists, with additional checks on lovin' that lead to debuffs even when IN relationships, but you can still get the +4-10 for the good opinion of your partner.

I see that pawns pray or meditate as acts of joy. I wonder if one could build on this spirituality aspects, and potentially add a religious component in inter-personal relationships.
does something like this exists already? I'd be happy to help develop it - but just the design not the coding, unfortunately...

being more on-topic: sex repulsed isn't already represented somehow by the asexual trait?

oh well I know something about diverse sexuality ;-)
I think here there's a huge expending potential - first things popping up are masochists getting hurt and possibly needing medical attention but getting also a rebuff when they're sadist partner 'loves' them.
and also: differentiation between ale and female clothing ;-) and all the possibilities this opens up.

that masochist / sadist portion will make some create 'joy' furniture mod just for that bedroom >.>

Ah, just now read that polyamory/non-monogamy already came as a suggestion.
- Awesome! :)


Concerning the bed question, we tend to build bigger beds. ;)

There's also a lot of asexual people in polyamorous unions, since asexual doesn't neccessary mean aromantic...

Here is a sort of linked pair of suggestions:
"Free Spirit" or something, I'm sure there is a more precise term. A pawn with this trait will only ever have casual sex. They will either never, or be highly unlikely to enter into a serious relationship.
"Turn Down Pro" Prevents a pawn from getting the "I can't get a moment's peace" mood malus, which I believe results from having to rebuff too many times in a given day.

In case you were wondering where I was going with this: I once misread the description of the Courtesan background to mean they would have some sort of special social interaction options. At this point I'm pretty sure they don't, but but traits like these might allow something along those lines.

Maybe make it so that with a Poly couple, if you have a 2 person bed placed directly adjacent to another bed, it sort of counts as a 3 person bed? Idk how this would be possible. But I have a poly coupld and that's what I've been doing, though I was running Psychology with the mod and it clashed.

slightly OT but I didn't want make a new thread so -

Pansexual - the coding would be the same as Bi with just the name changed, but it'd be really cool to have it in there
Aromantic - will have hookups and lovers (maybe?) but not relationships
Demisexual - has to have a really high friendship with someone b4 having hook ups/lovers/engaged/etc

these are obviously incredibly simplified versions of these much more nuanced identities but. I'll take what I can get!

Talking percentage, just like trading, will affect dates. .......and maybe a "pervert" trait that allows people to get joy and good buffs from seeing people nude or doing something romantic, but gives people debuffs from when this happens.
