DMSelena's Happy Fun World Enrichener

Description
This is a mod I am making in my not-very-vast spare time, mostly for my husband Wyldhunt and I to play. I'm putting it out here so he can download my changes easier, but if other people find this somehow and enjoy it, more's the better.

AI changes make people act more naturally (most of the time?), and people have names and jobs and lives that they talk about in a voice that is unique to them.

I'm basically taking all the things people say and making it more likely they will make sense, be true for that character in that context, and eventually happen more often. I love Kenshi's living world-ness, but it can be too quiet and feel a tiny bit repetitive.

If you like your hateful violence to come in flavors and shades and nuances, then you might enjoy this, too.

PLEASE BE AWARE: this mod makes the world (hopefully) richer, not cleaner. I have only made the cussing worse, so if you have a problem with all the worst parts of Kenshi, please don't use this. You will only find it upsetting.

No other mods are required. If you use it with other mods, I have no idea what will happen. Something could explode, even. Go with your gut on mixing mods, I guess.

STUFF:
* Adds lots of dynamic dialogue and word swaps. Too many to list. Go to any bar and hang out for an example.
* Varies clothing.
* Gives names to everyone.
* Gives everyone personality types.
* AI packages with more dynamic behavior.
* More villages and camps.
* Tweaks to faction relations so it makes more sense and is more playable.
* Enables cross-biome travelling so you see more drifters.
* Custom caravans / caravans now drop relevant loot.
* Captives will try to escape if given the opportunity and right personality.
* Healing enemies can increase relations with them over time.
* Predators are more likely to hunt.
* Bounty hunters are more likely to travel long distances to find their contracts.
* Cannibals are... better (worse?).
* Some minor areas can now be taken and controlled by other factions.
* Dust Bandits are a more dynamic and important faction (less aggressive, but more dangerous when engaged).
* A custom start where you can play as the heir to the Dust King throne.
* ???
* PROFIT!

As much as I love the dialogue of this mod, everything it adds just messes up the game. Skeletons in their 80s, using specialist and masterwork armour, being part of the dust bandits? And actual skin bandits still being part of the dust bandits? Not my taste, but the dialogue part is amazing and I love it.

I'll test the police station and crash report, although a dedicated bug report thread would help.
More specifics about the game breaking bugs when using only this mod would be helpful.
I can only test the things I know about.

This mod seems to completely break some parts of the game, i have been testing this mod all day cause i really like it but it stops shek police stations from spawning for some reason and crashes whenever i enter the Deadlands, i even ran the game with ONLY this mod active and it still seems to cause gamebreaking bugs, ik there is a bug report forum but i am posting here because i think it needs more attention.

Very immersive dialogues but other parts especially packages is extremely bugged. It would be appreciated if you could make seperate patch with all modified/added ai packages removed as it become a chore to play with heavily modded playthrough where most npcs just standing still with aimless goals which only fixed after disable your mod.

This mod is great. It does exactly what it says on the title, it enriches the game. The fact that NPCs say other NPCs names is what I like the most. Great Work

I can't reproduce the bug with bars not spawning. All the bars that I've visited work.
Is it something reproducible? Specific bars that we can look at?

Also, please let us know if you have any other mods that might be reacting badly with this mod to cause the bugs.
We're trying to keep everything mod neutral. So, if it's bugging someone else' mod, we want to know.

There has been a surge of updates to the mod recently, so anyone experiencing weird bugs may want to try re-importing.

The best place for specific examples is the bug thread. That way, DMSelena can keep track of them all. I'm just her husband, and tend to be forgetful. :P

She reset the tweaks that she made to the throne room in the latest update, since it seemed to be causing issues. She never made any changes to furniture or room contents though. Odd bug. Let us know if it's fixed now (After an import, if possible)?

The name randomization isn't complete yet.
When it's finished, it'll allow conversations to work better between characters. They'll be able to refer to each other by name.
If you notice any bugs or ways that it makes things worse, let us know.

It bugs the throne room by literally removing all furniture. Also, holy nation sentinels are spawning with katura zukins. even then, the name randomisation isn't even (doesn't affect reaver ironclads and samurai gate guards etc)
lmk if i can contact you on discord, so i can DM you examples @Wyldhunt

This seems to be causing bars to stop spawning in a lot of major cities

The randomized names were on purpose, to add more depth. Get rid of the 20 Dust Bandits attacking you. Now, it's Bob, Mary, and their 28 close friends.
Are they causing unexpected bugs?
How is it bugging Phoenix's throne room? (I don't get out that way much)
