before i wasnt able to run this with facial stuff or alien framework. but now it seems facial stuff and psychology arent compatible?

Take a look on the workshop page at the note about Facial Stuff, Psychology and similar mods:

As was posted as a thread in the General Discussions section of these forums, I too have noticed that many of the childhood backgrounds are missing from the current choices given in EdB Prepare Carefully and there are a couple that show on original pawns that aren't available either.

Hi, I updated to B19 yesterday so I started a new colony.
I noticed using 'Prepare Carefully' mod that there were few childhood traits left but still the full list of adult traits.
I uninstalled the game, deleted the directory the game had been in, reinstalled the game with no mods, started another colony and hit randomize many times and I am still getting only maybe 17 or 18 childhood traits.

Were they largely removed from the game? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Were they changed in the base game, or is there some reason why many are missing?

The problem with backstories is fixed in the latest release, 0.19.9.  Find the download link in the original post.

The first Beta 19 release of the mod is available for download from github:
https://github.com/edbmods/EdBPrepareCarefully/releases/tag/v0.19.8

Question:  Is it intended that any new pawn you create in the "World" tab cannot be used in a relationship with a colonist while they stay in the World tab?

Not as intended.  It looks like that problem happens when you add a character using the "..." button.  Using the "Add" button looks like it works as expected.  I will fix it.

Pretty interesting being able to creature pawns for the wider world.

However, it's apparently broken the ability to customize relationships.  Familial, spousal, lover, etc, all show up in the Prepare Carefully menu when using them, but unless they were randomly created during outside of it, as soon as your pawns drop into the world, they only show up having a "friend" relationship with the other pawns.

There's a new version available that should fix this problem:

Thanks for the bug report.  Will fix it.

I've released a new test release of the mod, 1.0.5, for the 1.0 unstable version of the game:
https://github.com/edbmods/EdBPrepareCarefully/releases/

This version adds a few new features, including backstory filtering and the ability to customize faction leaders.

Give it a try if you don't mind a few bugs!

it doesn't work for me it says i have the wrong version. well it says the version its for is unknown can you please fix it i love this mod i just want it to work

See the note about "double-extracting" in the "To install" section on the github download page.  Make sure you didn't accidentally end up with two folders, "Mods/Mods/EdBPrepareCarefully/EdBPrepareCarefully".  It should just be "Mods/EdBPrepareCarefully".  Like spyderwebsc mentions in the post above, it's easy to accidentally end up with the double-folder problem if you're using Windows Extract All.

There is a 1.0.4 test release of the mod available for download from github that is compatible with today's unstable release, 1.0.1969.

Todays update seems to have broken Prepare Carefully. It won't let it load when you start a new game.
I can load a previous save file with the same mods and load order with no problem.

Some changes in the 1.0.1960 release of the game broke the 1.0.2 test release of the mod.  I've released a new version, 1.0.3, that should fix the problem: https://github.com/edbmods/EdBPrepareCarefully/releases/

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am working on a version of the mod for 1.0.  There is a test release available on github:
https://github.com/edbmods/EdBPrepareCarefully/releases/

Thanks to everyone who put in the time and effort to fork the code repo to get a version of the mod working with 1.0.  Apologies that I was away and not checking the forums/Steam.

I've released an initial version of the mod for beta 18.  See the original post for download links.  Please consider this a beta release of the mod (a beta release for the beta release ).  It has a few known issues that I'm working on, but it seems like it mostly works.

When i click the prepare carefully button nothing happens. (i have no other mods loaded)

Please double-check which version of RimWorld that you're running.  If you are running an early version of the Alpha 17 release (pre 0.17.1542), you will get this error.  Be sure that you're running the latest (currently 0.17.1557).

i had the same problem but only it scenarios i made in alpha 16, maybe try using the default one?

Thanks for the feedback--that's something I hadn't heard before.  I'm probably not handling errors as well as I could if something goes wrong when copying over all of scenario parts into the Prepare Carefully screens.  I will take a look.

I released a new version of the mod, v0.17.1.5 that has fixes for a handful of issues that were in the previous release.  Changes include:

• Can now choose from both player and non-player factions when creating a new faction pawn.
• Bug fix: Hidden pawns are not killed if they have already been added into the world.
• Bug fix: Apparel generated for faction pawns is now also set to normal quality with no damage.
• Bug fix: Fixed skill name labels so that they are localized properly.
