Seal's Backstory Collection

Description
v1.2.4 (18/09/2025) - 112 total backstories


This mod is a collection of various backstories all written by me. It adds 112 new ones. More will be written and added in future updates as time goes on.
The mod also adds new "Places" that will appear in the procedurally generated ideologies descriptions (3 for now).

The mod is compatible with Vanilla Traits Expanded and Vanilla Fishing Expanded. The traits from these mods will appear in some backstories.


Is the mod lore-friendly?
Yes. Everything fits the official lore, but bear in mind that I the mod reflects my personal headcanon. Everyone imagines the universe differently.

Can you add compatibility with X trait mod?
Maybe. I only added compatibility with Vanilla Traits Expanded because this is a mod I use. Adding new traits for all the already written backstories could be time consuming, so it would really depend on the amount of time I have.

I have written some backstories, can you include them in your mod?
I want to only keep stuff written by me in this mod. If you have some already written I suggest you make your own mod, don't hesitate to look at my defs and use them as a basis!
However you can absolutely tell me ideas for future updates!

Did you use a LLM?
Everything was written by me. There is no fun in worldbuilding with AI.

Ребята, если есть кто русский, сделайте русификатор на этот мод. А то мне очень лень учиться делать его самому (((


Guys, if anyone speaks Russian, please make a Russian version of this mod. I'm too lazy to learn how to make one myself (((

Fixed! That one was also on the first preview of this page, it's funny how long it remained here

Bird enthusiast has two p's in upon.

It's a very nice backstory, though. :)

@Ostrich-Hungry Awesome! Don't worry too much about overlaping, vanilla itself has a lot of it. I also discovered after writing some that an equivalent already existed in vanilla lol

Loved your mod! Excellent work, really well-written. I’ll keep it in mind for my own mod (just to avoid any overlap, though with backstories that’s hardly an issue).
I’ve been considering making a framework that would give us more control over backstory modding. I’ll let you know if I make any progress on that.
Once again, amazing mod. I’ll definitely be using it.

Also, if unsubscribing and resubscribing alone doesn't fix it, verifying game file integrity and clearing Steam's download cache tends to fix the issue real quick

@mr. Lucius there is no risk of opening a mod file if you don't change anything, and even if you do, unsubing and resubing from the mod would reset it

@SneezingSeal thank you. I'm afraid to go into the game files so as not to break anything.
