im new, so when you say "pawn" you mean colonist right? if that's the case, I am not seeing it. Ive been playing a while with this mod, so far, I don't see any love making. I have 3 guys and 3 girls, but no love making.

Well, pawn could be raiders or visitors too, I suppose.

Right now I have a couple of traits -- I'll be updating more in my next version.  First, I'm focused on getting lovemaking in the next version, it's not currently implemented.

The way it looks like I'll have it work is as an additional job type, which will function like wardening; therefore, you'll be able to manually control it (to some extent after all we can't help who we love!). But you can also let it automate.  And no, there won't be any animations or sound effects (keeping in conformance with forum rules). 

Right now I have one type of lovemaking I'm testing (see above op) and a couple others I'm working in.  I'll release them all in 0.2

Just had a thought-- think it would be worth putting in a moodlet for others who walk in and witness a lovemaking couple?  I'm thinking based on their existing traits (sanguine, etc) it may have negative, positive or other... Repercussions).

No problem-- added a link flippantly at the beginning that I did not test.  It's been removed!

apologies!

[Modification]

Modification: The Romance Mod
Version: 0.8
Last Updated: 8/25/2015

Background
Mod
I'm adding a modification to Rimworld that adds romance for pawns.  I hope this will add another layer of depth to the game which already is fantastically in depth.  The direction I'm taking with this is akin to the relationship matrix found in Crusader Kings II. 


Current Features and Progress

• Romance Traits.  Pawns can have natural abilities (i.e., good or bad) towards lovemaking that attract or detract other pawns.
  [10 traits currently implemented, will expand as relationship system rolls out.  Will take requests.]

• Lovemaking Control.  Control pawns through enabling or disabling lovemaking worktype; also I've coded it to only permit lovemaking by colonist selection.  No unintended RP breaking moments where brother makes love to sister or dad faps in front of the family.
  [Fully Implemented]

• Romantic Encounters.  Pawns can have romantic encounters, some more erotic than others which will boost or reduce relationships amongst colonists. 
  [Currently implemented, planning bed-specific activities after rollout of relationship system]

• Romantic Thoughts.  Pawns will have thoughts based on their romantic encounters.  Additionally, their thoughts may change (for better or worse) dynamically due to their traits. 
  [Currently implemented, expanding affected traits.]

• Relationships.  Pawns that have "romantic" encounters will have increased affections towards one another -- social impacts increased by talking and negative impact upon death of those they have encounters with. [Currently reviewing tie-in with core code]

• Relationship Web.  Pawn romantic encounters will have effects not only on those participating but others as well.  For example, if one pawn is in a relationship with another person, but has an encounter with another, the left out person may feel animosity towards their partner's new lover.
  [Currently researching tie-in with core code]

In the short run, I'm going to fully expand modifying thought patterns and available love making types, as well as make the two interdependent on traits.  In other words, certain types of personalities will like or get bonuses from certain actions, or not have certain actions available to them (e.g., gruff lover loves doggy style, but would not consider missionary).  Currently, the Voyeur is an example of that, where he gets bonuses from fapping but cannot make love to others (prefers to watch).  Also, I'm going to fully implement the target pawn's thoughts and traits into the whole thing (currently it only considers the pawn that is selected for anything).

In the long run, I'm looking to expand this general framework to non-romantic activities (e.g., saving a fellow disabled colonist, feeding or healing a sick colonist, or other actions).  Let me know what you think would be interesting as well.
