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

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.

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.

Mod conflict. That doesn't happen with this mod on its own

Hey so weird thing - my pawn had an aspiration to be resurrected. Killed in a glorious battle with the mechs, we revived them, only for them to not only not have the aspiration to be revived any longer, but their entire list of aspirations, including ones I had already completed, changed. I did use the resurrect ability from VRE Sanguophages instead of a Res Serum if that has anything to do with it.

some extras wouldn't hurt if there of the weird, DLC or ending kind like kill and eat a lover , get addicted to 3 different drug, end the mechanoid threat (odyssey), defeat the anomaly, attack an empire settlement, etc rare but hard ones

What the hell is a concert and how do i do it?

@Sarg Bjornson The difference between this mod and https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2697015438 is that in Dream and Desire unfulfilled wishes had debuffs applied to pawns over time. Your one has no real negatives applied to a pawns unfulfilled aspiration, you can safely ignore their aspirations if you so wish.

i find the robussy lover one funny

Smaller aspirations would make this mod SUPER unbalanced, though. Just extra growth moments left and right willy nilly.

More variety? Sure. But for harder aspirations
