[WoTC] Emotions of the Resistance - a Soldier Mood Framework

Description
Why do we need this? Because we are not the aliens, our soldiers are more than just pawns with guns, they are people. And people have emotions.

From the rookie to the grizzled sniper, no one is immune to the ups and downs of life aboard the Avenger. A sleepless night might leave your sharpshooter a little shaky on the field. A heartfelt gift from a squadmate could motivate your grenadier to go above and beyond. Even the best can be distracted, anxious, or downright annoyed when the pressure mounts.

Taking inspiration from Rimworld, every soldier now has mood that changes every few days and modifies their stats a bit. With 50 moods added so far, your squad will always have something on their mind.

This mood system was designed to be both simple to play and easy to expand, using Iridar's Gene Mods as a template. I wanted it to be a small thing, always running in the background that can influence your decisions, for who you bring on a mission without unbalancing the game's difficulty. It also adds more flavor and individuality to your troops as they get used to their new lives on the Avenger.

The Party Update - You can now select a soldier and throw a party for them at the bar. That soldier will be unavailable for a few days but will return in high spirits.
You need either a new campaign or a save that never had this mod installed to trigger the new staff slot at the bar, but you can otherwise install the mod mid game.

!!!
This mod is still in testing, I think it should be mostly functional but you might want to check back in a week once I've had more bugs squashed out.
If you’re someone with UI modding skills, I want to hire you to work on a better presentation layer.

Hello, I have a character that somehow got multiple moods(hungry, clumsy, and one other). the last one updates and changes, but the first two seem to be static for the time being. Is there a way to remove emotions, or is she just stuck like that?

Hello! Never had this mod before, then I got it installed, but I've no idea how to assign a soldier to the bar. Is there any specific window / command for it?

I want to ask the author if it's normal for soldiers to have multiple emotions. The longer a soldier stays at the base, the more emotions they have. There are soldiers who have four states/emotions. Is there a way to fix this to one state for each soldier?

I had several severely wounded soldiers disappear from my pool. I narrowed the issue down to the soldier having an emotion with a HP buff prior to an emotion change. THe resulting removal of the HP buff results in a negative HP soldier and it disappears.

Other than the occasional missing soldiers, the mod is great!

Same here. First, two wounded soldiers vanished from the pool. Later one of my best soldier was wounded. And now I cannot deploy her, like she was still wounded. I´ll try to disable the mod and to restore the stats. Very sad, because is a good mod.

I'm enjoying the mod, though I too am having the problem of old moods getting stuck and not going away. Even threw a party for a soldier that had two moods, and the older mood still wouldn't go away.

Perso never had that
I did have soldiers saying they ready to go but weren't,cause they were already out on a covert mission tho,check if its not the case here

pwetty swure this causes some soldiers to be unavailable despite being ready to go.

hey, i was wondering if you could make an edit specifically for LWOTC and RPG, with RPG it shows the stat changes in the stat upgrade screen, and in LWOTC their emotions are changed even when infiltrating, making it a lot more unpredictable, and sometimes unfair.
