Ascetic wife and royal titles
I need some advice; I just got the Royalty dlc and started a new colony. I just realized (I should have looked careful) that my main pawn whom I am turning into the leader of the colony and is receiving the noble titles, is marrying (they are just now engaged) a pawn who is an ascetic and hates everything extravagant. She prefers raw food and simple rooms. Can I really build a royal court with her as his future wife? Weirdly enough, he is more socially fond of Eddy the construction pawn than his own future wife and he has the misogynist trait.

Should I kill her off? Start a new colony? Can I prevent pawns from marrying or make them marry people they don't really want to marry?

thank you

I never had that.
But you can keep themin separate rooms. They will have a mood penality for not sleeping together but I would imagine that that penality is lighter then having an ascetic in a wealthy/impressive bedroom or an aristocrat in a poor room.

I wouldn't worry about it, ascetic only gets a -5 mood from a nice bedroom. Becoming a couple and getting their opinion up to 100 is a permanent +10 mood for both, then there's also mood boosts from lovin, so it's better for them to be a couple than not to be.

Ascetic is always a negative trait in the long run, the best mood they get is +5 for an awful bedroom, and no bonuses for fine/lavish meals, while it's pretty easy to get rooms to +6-7 impressiveness for other colonists. Early game you can throw them in a closet and they will be great, but late game with sky-high expectations you will struggle a little to keep their mood up compared to anyone else. That's not to say it's a trait to avoid, it's workable, just it's not going to be great either way.

Necropost, but... Titles should ONLY be given to ascetics. Even being an archon, an ascetic will sleep anywhere, eat anything and do any work, while a non-ascetic becomes a useless capricious slacker. Ascetic is an incredibly useful trait for nobles.

Non ascetics don't become slackers, they just demand better food and living quarters and clothes. There are other traits to avoid for nobles though that make them worthless slobs.

I don't have the royalty DLC, but I have had an ascetic marry a non-ascetic. I would recommend having them share a room anyway (ascetic will have a small mood debuff) but set there meal restrictions to allow them to eat more raw food?
