It is now 0%, as it caused an error due to them being incapable of violence

@Konstantin if you're open to modding, you could make an XML patch to change that specific faction

Hello, is it possible that the spawn chance of highmates is a bit low? (0.5% in certain factions) Is there any way I can increase the chance?

Possible suggestion for the engage lovin action, have them go to one of their bedrooms. Engaging in the horizontal tango in a dirty corridor is NOT sanitary nor socially acceptable, even in colonies with a free love focused ideology.

That said, it was quite funny that I discovered that by having my Lowmate pawn accidentally get topped by a very large demon themed pawn.

@kamil072005 you need the free and approved precept in ideology

Question, is there a way to enable the lovin ability to work on pawns from other factions if they have a relationship with the highmate? I'm playing with diplomatic marriages, and the childhood friend and lover of a highmate was sent on this marriage, but since considered other faction, cannot initiate lovin

Question, how does it work with the "Better Gene Inheritance" mod? I guess the recessive and dominant genes aren't quite compatible as there has been weirdness regarding the baby's genes.

How to avoid breakup when using Initiate Lovin?

I spit in the face of those potential gods!
AlternateEnding Sep 6 @ 9:50pm 
i will not download this because any potential gods that exist would likely frown on this activity but im sure its a cool mod! :steamthumbsup:

@Hupablom the genes are applied when a pawn is generated. Meaning the setting is only looked at on pawn generation, it's not active or retroactive.

So if you have a highmate pawn but they lack the gene you will have to add it manually via dev mode.

(that big red note at the bottom of this mod's description is about this topic)

Hi, I have a small suggestion.

Currently if someone has lovin' with a Perfect Body partner the effect is permanent and non-transparent. What if instead of being saved in an internal list, it instead of provided a year long health debuff which instead would be used to track this?
(This would also make it a bit more flexible when makinga sub-mod)

TY and cheers!

For some reason I dont have the feline traits despite having it enabled in the mod options. Anyone know a fix?
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Aug 21 @ 10:54pm 
They can't use it

The Highmate gene "Very High Libido" needs a <minAgeActive> field so that six year olds don't get the "Initiate Lovin'" ability.

No conflict
freya_the_vampyr Aug 13 @ 7:20am 
I had a weird conflict where I had a pawn who had the genetic Lovin Dependency but became asexual.
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Aug 11 @ 9:04am 
Nevermind, it seems it was changed at some point
grumble314 Aug 11 @ 6:54am 
Ok not going to argue maybe it's both pf them having the fertile gene but it just happened again.

"initiate lovin" doesm't result in pregnancies
grumble314 Aug 9 @ 2:03pm 
I have had initiate lovin reult in pregnancy on more than one occasion. I'm curious about the restrictions placed on the imitate lovin.
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Aug 7 @ 8:44am 
It was a choice
CoyoteHandsome Aug 7 @ 6:31am 
Okay, that's kind of what I was assuming. Out of curiosity, is that a design choice or a technical limitation?
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Aug 5 @ 8:11am 
No
CoyoteHandsome Aug 5 @ 8:07am 
Can the initiate lovin' ability result in pawn pregnancies?
Medi3val Aug 4 @ 6:56pm 
Make it to baron.... get awarded a male highmate. FML..
Hatoful Pengu Jul 31 @ 10:09am 
@mir_38 so lemme get this straight: an imperialist techno-noble rewards you a sex slave genetically modified to be utterly defenseless, forced to bond with their first lover for life, and dependent on sex with said lover for their mental well-being regardless of how that lover treats them, and the only part that gives you the ick about the whole situation is that the human trafficking involves a teenager? if the problematic video game underage sex bothers you more than the problematic video game sex slavery, that really says more about you than anything else tbh.
Whisper Jul 30 @ 9:52am 
So how exactly does the perfect body gene work? Does it apply an invisible hediff to the partner or something that makes them not get a mood buff anymore from regular lovin' with other pawns?
Sh2d0wm2n Jul 27 @ 10:38am 
A really good mod, but I have an issue. My colonist is in a relationship with two lovin' dependent xenotype colonists. They often suffer from lovin' withdrawals, but the initiate ability causes a breakup with the other one. Could you please make it not cause breakups when these pawns are already dating? Setting lovin' percept to free and approved wouldn't fit my current scenario. Thank you for reading the comment, and for everything you've done for the rimworld community.

if it bothers you so much mir, learn how to mod and make a mod that removes children lol
IBlack_jk Jun 19 @ 6:11pm 
I mean... gifting underaged girls does sound like typicall royalty XD
Alu Jun 19 @ 6:02pm 
Thats how vanilla works lol
That age counts
mir_38 Jun 19 @ 3:01pm 
Can you PLEASE remove Highmate children?? I just got baron rank and they sent my sanguophage a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD CHILD. They can occur outside of that event too... ick
Flesh Forge Jun 14 @ 7:41pm 
I really like the variation added to Psychic Bond :steamthumbsup:
It's a bit weird that the Lovin need hediff will appear on Lowmate children even if it doesn't actually go into effect until 16, the vanilla drug needs hediffs are not shown on children that have them (these don't even seem to be hidden, they're not visible with dev mode either)
same goes for the Initiate Lovin button, consider hiding that somehow until the pawn is old enough.
DokiDokiZappe Jun 12 @ 9:53am 
Any idea why after getting the baron title i don't get the highmate? I'm in dire need of some males in my colony and it was one of the few opportunities i had to have childs.
Stitch Jun 9 @ 9:59am 
Side note, you can make lowmates shag your sister.

vfe empire breaks the awarded high mate baron stuf : (
-NQ- nick4fake May 19 @ 7:40am 
I double the question - is there any way to disable Baron highmate gift?
knots6 May 15 @ 3:27am 
Do you think more additional effects from psychic bond could be added ? Maybe some compatibility with VE traits or maybe an additional effect if neither person has any of the other traits so people with a lot of trait mods can get more use from the feature.

Psychic bond seems wonky when one Pawn has multiple higmates. For example Higmate 2 gets into coma. Normal pawns Psychic bond is disturbend but with the name of Higmate 1 wich still gets the boost of the bond she has with the normal pawn.

And Both Bond partmers get the boost as used to. but normal pawn diesnt get them stacked even tough he has 2 higmates.

Not sure though to wich degree the secound thing is just a bug or intendet

SirghostVonghost Apr 7 @ 4:44pm 
is there a way to make a highmate not care about orintation? for example having a highmate bond with the female baron who was awarded them.

Well, I happen to be a master of that discipline!
