Platonic Relationships

Description




I just feel some pawns work better as friends. Sometimes I'm holding out for someone with the right skillset for optimal cohabitation. Or maybe we're working on a specific gene breeding project, who knows? Either way, we all have our reasons to want to exclude certain pawns from romancing each other. With this mod, you can do that.



This mod adds platonic relationships to the game. That means that, between pawns with any of these relationships active, the romantic interest is zero. It's fairly similar to my other mod, Adoptive Relationships, just with different relationship names.



These relationships do not happen naturally, you will have to add them manually at the beginning of the game using Prepare Carefully or mid-game using Character Editor.





💀 Will you add...?

Yes! Probably! Maybe! If it's a good idea!

Post your suggestions in the comment section, or reach out through Discord.

💀 Will you add rituals / interactions / autonomous events to add these relationships automatically without Character Editor/Prepare Carefully?

No. I don't have the bandwidth for more complicated code mods at this time. Maybe later.

💀 I can only see male/female relationships. What's up with that?

If you're using Character Editor, there is a ♂ or ♀ icon where you select the relationships you want to add.
It only shows you the relationships of that gender. Click the icon to switch.

I would suggest googling the definition of platonic. :-)

no problem! I just didn't see why platonic relationships would limit romance lol (except for chosen family and similar)

This mod is PLATONIC relationships, so that's not in the scope of what this does.

Ah, nevermind, seems it is. Would be cute to have one that gives a mood buff w/o limiting romance though!

No idea if this is intended, but it seems that 'childhood friend' causes incestuous limitations?

Hi again! Yes, I have thought about a negative relationships mod as well as an obsessive one (like cult leader that gives you an insane amount of attracted towards them, or in a more normal way, crush, fwb, etc.). I just haven't got around to it because I haven't been playing RimWorld much!

Hello @lydocia, its me again. Thanks so much for adding "colleage" and other work related relationships. Now here's another question, any plans for a negative relationship mod? Pawns in rimworld tend to always just get along with eachother and colonies tend to converge at perfectly happy utopias where everyone loves eachother, but what if I want my pawns to be rivals or bully eachother? I think this could add some greater immersion!

@Genaeve

Aww, happy to hear it! :-)

I'm playing around with the idea of adding Obsessive Relationships too, keep an eye out!

I am already subscribed to your Adoption Relationship mod, which I enjoy. Imagine my surprise when I found this mod!! Thank you so much! <3 <3 :MysteriaGodOfDeathHappy:

This mod won't help you with that, but Character Editor allows you to do that!
