One question from a modding newbie (thoughts)
« on: September 23, 2009, 05:13:52 am »

So. This ties into an idea I had and will eventually start work on if it's possible, but for now, I have one question. Is it possible to mod in thoughts? In other words, mod the game so that certain things cause happy or unhappy thoughts, and if so, can I alter how severe they are?

Specifically, would it be possible to make being attacked by or seeing a certain creature a trigger for a strong unhappy thought?

Thanks in advance. :)

If it ain't in the raws, you can't mod it.

That said, the only thing regarding thoughts in the raws is *whether* a creature can be used to trigger an unhappy thought, like some vermin.

You can also change a given creature-species' tendancies towards certain personality traits, which would in turn affect thoughts.
