Yeah one of my slaves decided he'd run for mayor so I'll be turning that off and thank you for mentioning it. Also the mod setting for elections only actually displayed its particular settings after I clicked into some of the other settings and back. Not sure if the settings for the mod are semi broken for all but this allowed me to turn off elections.

The mod settings exist, but when I click on the table of contents it doesn't show any options. Elections are like other peoples broken, I think this happens when I disable the ideology system in the vanilla dlc.

mayor system has been broken for a while, you should disable it

anyway this mod is essentially on life support so people can just use it for future versions

Tom wandered too close to the resident mech cluster. Neck deleted. Guess I need to find a new abbot.

Why in all of the rimworlds does my colonist have -81 mood debuff for complaining to the mayor 6 times? D: Tom is currently running wild and removing all of his clothes and I wondered why...

In my case the mod was the reason of constant performance stutters. (found out in the dev console)
I turned it off and now the game feels way more responsive.
Not sure about you can't remove it from a save. Mine works just fine, but maybe it's because I installed it mid-save too.

@Rosadrop yeah, i mean it is a pretty complex mod. On top of rimworld "f it" approach to modding api documentation, it makes it difficult to even know where to begin as far as fixing how it works.

The "story generation" is... well, it's not wrong, but it has a pretty narrow understanding of what a story is. Basically, the storytelling aspect is shooting and looting, and maybe an occasional marriage. The human interaction part is extremely simplistic and lacking in basic storytelling tropes. Psychology is definitely a step in the right direction to fix this.

You should add information that you can't remove it safely from a save.

And yes, a mod like psychology that fits with huge mod lists is dearly dearly missed ;(

I have to say it's kinda insane that no mod ever even tried to establish a pawn-personality interaction system as psychology did, and that in almost 7 years. Not even tried to (at least to my knowledge). Which is just crazy, if you take the fact rimworld is mainly branded as a story generator game, yet it lacks the ability for the individuality of its pawn to matter in story generation. Kinda wild tbh

Why is everyone talking about this mod being dead? It seems to work fine for me

R.I.P. Dead mod.

As much as I loved this mod, it was breaking ideology preacher from being able to convert, as well as affecting VE psycast ability interactions between pawns. Removed it and those problems straightened up. Sad to see it go from my mod list.

welp, this shit aint ever gonna get updated.

Did this mod break cooking for anyone else?

Prepare carefully is badly broken. Do not use it, download character editor instead

Any chance for prepare carefully support?

Heads up: currently, this generates a lot of errors if loaded without Ideology. I just posted a solution on the "BUG reports" discussion.

is anyone aware of how to toggle aromantic / asexual status for a pawn? just curious if that's a thing that we can do

yup @big time there's a setting in the mod settings for elections

Is there a way to disable elections? The rest of the mod is great but I keep having 0 socials running for mayor and ruining everyone's mood. Also, no one is able to vote so it goes 50/50 for the outcome.

How does this work with vanilla social interactions expanded and vanilla backstories expanded?

A desensitized space marine would absolutely try to find love with other pawns, but it would most likely not be very "romantic"

They would likely just "take" the love by force.

One of my pawn with 'test subjects, Space marine'backstory and 'Desensitized' traits, had extremely high romantic needs. And she's constantly trying to find love with other pawns. I don't think is appropriate.

我的一名身世“实验对象、冷酷星际战士”，特性“冷漠”的小兵居然有着极高的浪漫需求，以至于她开始到处向其他小兵告白。我觉得不是很对。

I'm having the same error as @-=JkJkLoL=- tk421storm, literally my only problem with this mod

thanks for keeping this up to date! is there a github anywhere? i'm seeing an error around "hanging out with someone" - when that someone is a child, i believe there needs to be a check around which rec activity they can participate in

Having an issue on 1.5 where having this mod installed (even with nothing else but its dependencies and the vanilla cores) causes only a couple of settlements to spawn on the world map, makes it unusable for me sadly :(

Thank you!!!

@jakeyboy13579 disable "Enable individuality Thoughts" its in the "Other settings" in the mod settings

- Some issues from original psychology mod are probably still here.
good old anxiety panic attack spam

Anyone know how to get the matching apparal debuff off? I cant find the option in the mod settings

@Kedi Can't promise it would work in every modlist, but it does work fine on most. Character Editor support works fine, EdB Prepare Carefully support is bugged.

Wait, does this mod work now?
does it also work with the Pawn Editor mod?

@Relish @Microsoft Word Thank you!

@Hesoyam It's safe to remove (might be a bit buggy the first 2-3 in-game days after removal). It is unfortunate that I've never been able to reproduce this particular bug.

@Zeira26 Sure, you can upload the translation to google drive or similar service and just give me the link.

Came here to second MS word - you're a fuckin legend for keeping this going

just want you to know that you're a GOAT for keeping one of the best rimworld mods alive. no complaints, no bug reports, i just want to thank you for your service.

Is seems im getting the anounced "Mayor/Elections system buggy on some modlists" with my current modlist. My Mayor has a near constant -186 Mood debuff because of only 5 complaints by the same colonist so far. And the said colonist whose done the complaining, instead of feeling better because they vented to the mayor, has a -56 on mood caused by her 5 complaints. Is this safe to remove mid save?

Hi, I made a translation of the mod into Spanish and I would like you to add it so that more people can use it.

Would you like to? Where can I send it to you?

smoth is common sense

@stelaclaudi probably install ideology

i'm getting toooons of errors because i don't have ideology installed and it's causing a lot of lag, is there anything i can do?

it'd be awesome if mental health issues from psychology could be treated with the therapy mod

Methadone doesn’t seem to work? Psychotropic drugs don’t work for addiction

@Zedric I see, thank you!

@che_lovek I'd make a pull request but it looks like y'all aren't using github right now. Check the bug report thread for a fix for the Ideology log spam people keep reporting.

Added the link to the source code, also pushed a small update

any chance the source code will be posted for this 1.5 version?

@thegelbox I'm on PC so that's possible.

@Kham what computer do you own? It may be an issue with Macbooks?
