SpeakUp Child

Description
Have you ever found it strange that children pawns speak the same dialogue as adult pawns? Well, I did, and someone else did at one point...but they deleted their mod.

This is a complete overhaul of the interactions seen in the mod Speak Up. As such, Speak Up is required.


What does it add

  • Unique dialogue for child pawns 4 and under. Babbling, broken English, and all.
  • Dialogue for multiple mods, including:
  • Pawnmorpher 1.3
  • Babies and Children 1.3
  • Dub's Bad Hygiene
  • Cutebolds
  • Nyarons
  • Anthros
  • VSIE
  • VTE
  • Bundle of Traits
  • Probably more

Compatibility
Should be compatible with everything

The dialogue spoken is a broken form of English, as I tried to emulate how children have difficulties pronouncing "R's", and how they oftentimes speak with incorrect pronouns, prepositions, etc...and after making this mod I think I'm fluent in toddler language.


I added interactions for many mods as seen above, and I know I probably forgot a few of them. If you don't have one of the mods installed, the dialogue simply won't be used.

Fair warning, you may get annoyed by the children, especially if you have multiple little brats running around your colony. You may end up like Adult Pawns who dislike children...

Another warning: Adults will swear at any children they dislike. F-bombs and all. Children however, will not swear. They will however, ask why they hate them so much...here is the link to the SFW version:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2786270605

See how long you can play with a colony full of children before you commit your first war crime.

Known Issues:
  • Fluffy's Mod Manager throws an error saying the mod depends on SpeakUp >=0.0.0, safe to ignore.
  • Alien Races that have weird life stages, such as Androids from Android Tiers, will speak the dialogue meant for children. For now, a workaround would be to change their ages via Character Editor, or edit their life stages in Rimmsqol.

If you encounter any issues, let me know, preferably with a log if possible, many thanks to those who have provided error logs as well as any feedback! It's greatly appreciated!

To do

  • More interactions - Prisoner interactions are complete, but I was having issues with adult to children interactions, needs fixed.
  • Clean up code - More code clean up...
  • Working on some additional mods that would work hand-in-hand with this mod. No promises as to when or if they will be completed, just something to do in my spare time!

@Stubkan - Unfortunately there isn't a way to make it work easily without adding a condition to each logentry and any existing conditional statements that specifies that the race doesn't equal Android or whatever the raceDef says for Androids. I haven't been able to mess around with the conditions much when Biotech launched, but I will try to poke around when I have some free time. Just started playing again recently.

This is great for child dialogue, however it makes Vanilla Expanded Androids act like babbling idiots because they happen to have small ages - could I request an update so Androids get adult dialogue like they should be?

Hey.Thx for the quick response.I just use a few recommended modslike harmony and a few like warcrimes(of course) ans it worked fine.all in all 8 mods.I use no mod manager. So I tried to install Rimpy(with tutorial) and got to the point where I have to download something from Github.like in the past with other games( battle brothers legends and so on)I tried to figure out how the fuck it works but github sucks.( I m old and I just taught myself the basic stuff I know right now).Sry just needed to get it out of my system^^. My two kids showed me ur mod cuz they knew I d love it. so thanks again for the quick response and keep up the good work. (sry for my bad english.not my native language) bye

@wissdoom - hmm, I've tested it extensively with Ideology, so it should work fine. Make it's loaded under SpeakUp! and outside of that, there is no reason why it shouldn't work. Double check the requirements for SpeakUp! are installed and that the load order is correct. If it still doesn't load, export your HugsLib log file (assuming you're using RimPy as your mod manager), Ctrl+Alt+F12 in game.

@snake - yeah part of the reason for that is that the original mod had some weird opinion values and traits set as Initiators for certain dialogue. I went through and adjusted some of the values, but it's likely that over time, I've missed some. I keep meaning to come back and make updates for the new DLC, and that's one of the things I'm going to change whenever I do.

Hey.I love this mod so much that I cannot play without it anymore. yesterday I bought the Ideology DLC and after starting a new game the kids where talking normal again.( and that reeeeeally sucks after playing with ur mod) I get no errorlog or anything. maybe reinstall everything??? plz help

cool mod, although its weird how often i see adults straight up abusing mentally children when they dont even have negative opinion of each other. ive seen mother that has no rude traits and was at 90% mood meter so not stressed and have positive opinion, curse at her child and stuff xd

@Settlerking - Weird, I've not used the Asimov mod, but I will download it and see what I can find out too. If regular SpeakUp doesn't play, it's likely SpeakUp that is causing the issue since this just builds upon the framework created by SpeakUp by adding to the existing InteractionDefs, but on the other hand, it's entirely possible there is an XML error or something causing the issue due to this mod. Thank you for the heads up!

all other pawns are fine btw. It also has zero issues with the "animal-like" pawns using the asimov framework since they don't interact with the social system at all
Settlerking Sep 21, 2024 @ 12:57am 
Im fairly certain this mod conflicts with asimov framework, Any human-like droid using that framework will break speakup. I'm unsure if it's base level speakup or this add-on to it but I think it might be this add-on. I'm investigating what causes it, but it keeps failing to generate dialogue for Asimov pawns consistently.

@Ollie-Raven - No problem, wish I could help!
