Sex Matters Redux fixes the original mod's broken functionality and compatibility issues while rebalancing sex differences for more realistic gameplay focused on physical rather than mental disparities.

Mission:
1. Enhanced Compatibility: Fixed broken features and ensured integration with popular mods like RimWar
2. Balanced Differences: Scaled back exaggerations for realistic physical-focused dimorphism
3. Ongoing Updates: Continuous improvements and new features


General Improvements
  • Fixed raid sex-ratio with male-dominated combat forces and RimWar compatibility
  • Visible hediffs showing stat differences during gameplay
  • Dynamic probability-based raid distribution system

Key Stat Changes
Female Adjustments
  • Normalized: Surgery, construction, mining, skill learning rates, aiming accuracy, mental breaks
  • CE suppressability: 125% (from 200%)
  • Male attraction system with age/chemistry bonuses
  • Physical mass: 85%
  • Melee crit/parry/dodge: 85%
  • Violent mental breaks: -40% chance (berserk, murderous rage, tantrums)
  • Non-violent mental breaks: +50% chance (sad wandering, food binges, hiding)
Male Adjustments
  • Mental break threshold: +5% (more prone to breaks)
  • Violent mental breaks: +40% chance (berserk, murderous rage, tantrums)
  • Non-violent mental breaks: -30% chance (sad wandering, food binges)

Planned Features
  1. 'Snap Out!' Integration: Female pawns help males during mental breaks (cooldown system)
  2. Skill Passions: Gender-based passion probabilities
  3. Social Fights: More frequent among males, less among females
  4. 'Female Presence' Removal: For disinterested pawns

Great mod - i think what opinion of the people - who live in dreamworld and don't know basics of human biology - not valid.

@Evyatar, keep up the good work. You know what you're doing, and I appreciate the drive toward a more diverse and stat accurate Rim. Same reason Bodies matter is an excelent mod as well.

Whats with the hate? This is most basic element of realism the game missing. No one is commenting does it work properly? Are the stats balanced? Anyone played it long enough?

This is the comment you get when someone thinks video game mechanics should model full population distributions instead of baseline tendencies. Yes, individual variation exists - that's what the RNG and traits are for. The mod just shifts the baseline to reflect documented group differences, same way the game abstracts everything else from "complex real-world phenomenon" into "number goes up/down."

Unless you want me to program a full bell curve generator for every stat, in which case I'll need your PhD thesis on implementing multivariate normal distributions in XML.

This is the mod you get when someone misunderstands statistics and think that means each individual is supposed to fit the median.

Would be cool if this had more compatibility with ideology, specifically about ideologies being able to configure what effects effect which gender.

@Let's Fighting Love Some advice for you, woman like masculine man, if you want to stop being an incel, try to be more masculine.

@Let's Fighting Love
Ah yes, the dreaded incel agenda of... giving female characters 78% hunger rates, 85% dodge chance, and making males 87% worse at social learning while being +40% more likely to go berserk. Truly the most misogynistic thing imaginable - making women more food-efficient and less emotionally volatile than men.

How great to see an incel's view of the world.

As some ideas for additional content for this mod, I suddenly realized there might be interesting synergy with two other mods:

1. Dubs Bad Hygiene - This mod officially includes separate male/female bathroom functionality, so there are hygiene-related mood effects and special gender-based buffs/debuffs.
2. Rumor Has It... - This is about rumors and group dynamics, and I think having some gender-related connections would be quite interesting.

Just a spontaneous thought - hope you might find it interesting!
