Intimacy – A Lovin’ Expansion

[discord.gg]

I’ve always wanted a tasteful expansion of the more intimate mechanics in Rimworld. There are those mods, of course, but they always felt too crass, too explicit.

And so, I present to you, a tasteful expansion of intimacy mechanics!

This specific interaction can be toggled in the mod’s settings.

Most mods should work perfectly fine with most mods out of the box. Compatibility patches for many mods, from Way Better Romance to ReSplice: Charmweavers and Nals’ Facial Animation, are built into the mod!

Developers that want to patch their mods to work with mine should be delighted to know that this mod was developed with exactly that in mind. All significant checks use common helper functions and modders can easily Harmony patch onto those functions. Modders can even easily override things like how often seduction attemps happen and how likely other pawns are to accept seduction attempts.

Please see the discussions page for a full list of mods that are patched to work with Intimacy. There’s too many to list here!

Keep in mind that only major additions and changes get their own infographic here. For an extensive list of all changes, see the changelogs page.

Reworked the ideology precepts around physical love:

• Free/Free and approved – The same as vanilla.
• Partner only if commited – Pawns will engage in casual lovin’ if they don’t have a spouse/fiance/lover. If they are in a relationship, they will only do lovin’ with their spouse/fiance/lover.
• Polycules only – Similar to spouse only, but pawns that share lovers are allowed to do lovin’ as well. This allows for ‘play’ between members of a harem.
• Partner only – Pawns will only do lovin’ with their spouse/fiance/lover.
• Spouse only – Pawns will only do lovin’ with their spouse.

This is dynamic, too! You won’t see the option to set a pregnancy policy for couplings that would never do lovin’.

I currently have two sub-mods planned.

• One will add simple contraceptives to prevent pregnancies. I did not include these in the base mod as I thought they were kinda bloat.
• Second, and this one is a community request, will be a mod around simple gender change operations.

These sub-mods will be completely optional.

This mod…

• Is a lot more tasteful.
• Is not explicit.
• Is relatively lightweight.

Yes! Until 1.6 is actually released, I will maintain the mod for both versions. Afterwards, focus will switch to maintaining the mod for the active version of the game.
