FAQ

Q: Can I add it mid-playthrough to an existing save? Can I remove the mod?
A: You can add it whenever. You can't remove mods from a save and expect it not no be messed up.

Q: Does this need Biotech DLC, Alpha Animals / Biomes / etc
A: No, just Vanilla Skills Expanded

Q: Does this work with Combat Extended?
A: Compatibility with CE is handled on their end

Q: Reeee this is bloat! I like my things that add things to add less things to the thing!!!
A: A haiku for you:
Thing craves more things still,
Endless wants beyond my grasp,
Control drifts away.

Q: Can I deactivate the new passions and just use the new expertises?
A: Yes, use mod options in Vanilla Skills Expanded

Could you add a option to remove the pain idealized precept requirement for the pain driven passion or add the masochist trait as a supplement requirement, please?

Wow this is a great mod. Doesn't completely change how passions works, but adds a splash of gameplay diversity instead of the more binary "passion/no passion" of vanilla. Great addition to any playthrough!

v2.101:

Added code so the forbidden passion hediff removes itself every hour if no forbidden passion is found on that pawn
Sarg Bjornson  [author] 6 Sep @ 6:34am 
Thanks, that narrows it down: the game removed the passion, but not the hediff. I'll add a timer to make the hediff remove itself.

I did what you said and hediff is there, and I also started the game with just this mod and its dependencies, and I think I found the problem: when forbidden passion is applied to a skill that the pawn is incapable of, it loses its icon.
Sarg Bjornson  [author] 5 Sep @ 11:45pm 
You need to specify "show hidden hediffs" in the pawn's health tab

I'd also need to know if this is happening with just this mod active, as so far I've been unable to replicate it. The hediff is only added if the pawn has this passion, and the thought only happens if the pawn has the hediff

I turned on dev mode and there is no hediff, if that is the correct way to do it
Sarg Bjornson  [author] 5 Sep @ 10:38pm 
And will you answer my question?
Lno 5 Sep @ 6:12pm 
@Futstub the same happens to me, there is no forbidden passion in any skill
Sarg Bjornson  [author] 2 Sep @ 1:29am 
Do they have the forbidden passion hediff?
