Some critique
So I'm encountering a few problems with usability. First, and probably the biggest issue, when editing a pawn that was created as a child, changing their age doesn't give you the option to add an adult backstory.

Second, editing age is clunky and unfriendly. The editable boxes are hidden(took me 10 minutes to figure out) and the interface times out even if you're actively editing it. I've had to click that space dozens of times just to get a simple number typed in.

Thirdly, siblings as implicit relationships require you to create parents and the parental relationships. This is a LOT of work for something that you should just let the game do dynamically. I shouldn't have to generate specific extra pawns just to generate a relation.

Fourth, as I think others have said, searches could use some filtering. Also for very long lists, like health conditions, sort all search matches to the top. Scrolling down a huge list for the one I want because of two alphabetically diverse matches is annoying to say the least.

That's all I've found for now. If there's something I've overlooked that fixes any of this, I'd appreciate any information that fixes it. Otherwise, thanks for a great mod! Barring these issues, it's an excellent product.

Wow I had forgotten I made this post! No worries if you don't, I just wanted to give feedback in case it was being maintained! I also only play Rimworld on rare occasion and I think the only reason i was playing at the time was the new expansion. If you never update I'll probably never notice. xD
