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

Q: Dead reset the aspirations of my pawns, making the "Get resurrected" aspiration impossible!
A: The bug is apparently caused by Character Editor



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

Are awakened androids supposed to have no aspiration bar? (VRE androids integration) It feels like they should have one.

I hope you take suggestions as I love love LOVE this mod and I have a few:

World Traveler - Satisfied upon visiting 5 different biomes
[Odyssey] Enter low orbit - Satisfied upon arriving in low orbit
[Odyssey] Land a big catch - Reel up an item instead of a fish while fishing
[Odyssey] Wield a unique weapon
The Very Best - Satisfied upon reaching level 20 in a skill
I want to meet a [animal] - Satisfied when in the vicinity of desired animal
I want to visit a [biome] - Satisfied upon arriving in desired biome
[Biotech] Gene Editor - Satisfied when their xenotype is changed.

I see. Thank you for the clarification.
Would it be possible to add an option to set that to a fixed value?
Sarg Bjornson  [author] 30 Aug @ 2:04am 
4 to 5, random
Varcour 30 Aug @ 1:56am 
Is that working as intended? Mod author stated that all pawns should have 5. Did that get changed?
I also frequently get pawns with only 4 aspirations
Shark 23 Aug @ 3:01pm 
My understanding is that some have 4, while others have 5.

Also the mod issue causing aspirations to change once resurrected was due to Character Editor - in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
Jet 23 Aug @ 11:26am 
how come some pawns have only 4 aspirations despite being full grown adults? is there a gameplay reason for it?
Shark 22 Aug @ 2:06pm 
Thank you, I'll look into it.
