Vanilla backshots expanded

@Battl3bee Create a local copy of the mod, do some XML editing, boom. That's personally what I did for the more snowflakey backstories.

can you add an option to disable some backstories please?

Is there a place I can see what the backstories do to the pawns, or do I just have to guess?

There are way, WAY too many backstories that disable worktypes, and for completely nonsensical/arbitrary reasons based on what it is. makes this mod borderline unusable with how many gimped pawns it spawns.

I love having colonists that literally cannot do almost any job ever because they worked a specific job once

@DarthBrawn There won't be any bug fix if you're the only one to get the bug.

Got serious lag with this mod. I added and removed it by itself multiple times at different stages of a playthrough, still couldn't get above 40TPS.

The blurbs are fun and well-written though, so I'd be happy to resubscribe, assuming we get a performance update

Minor typo- Adult Chemfuel farmer backstory's 2nd to last word is always "him," regardless of gender

Minor typo - the childhood backstory "living cure" last sentence uses a possessive pronoun when it should not.

@Harkonnen true

From the description saying "uneasy around strangers to this day" it seems like the Adult backstory "Translator" should give -2 social instead of the +2 social it has currently.

Perhaps he was speaking from experience? lol

Sorry but why does cosplay enthusiast make the pawn incapable of caring?

Landsknecht background flip flops the pronouns with females in its last sentence. "..she was able to buy extravagant clothing marking her as an successful soldier. He never betrayed her principles..."

I'll take a look at it

I'm also getting the error reported by GoblinEngineer. Not sure if you accept third-party pull requests, but I created one that fixes the problem here:

https://github.com/Vanilla-Expanded/VanillaBackstoriesExpanded/pull/1

Howdy, sorry to be a bother but I got this error when looking at the bio of a pawn with the "Retired Soldier" background. The description is chock full of errors and this popped up in the log.

thank you!

It will be updated for 1.5.

Will this be updated for 1.5 or will there be a separate version?

Is there a way to get bloodknight on a random pawn? I want one, but I don't want to have to capture an Imperial pawn to get one

how is the gifted burnout childhood backstory a tribal one?
im just a bit confused sicne it sound like its a industrial

As long as it's not published anywhere, yeah!

Can I use your BackstroyDefs for a school project? Thanks in advance!

Hey friends, thank you to all the authors and especially Oskar for being so present in the comments.
Since we already have a discussion thread ("Backstory Typos Roundup") pointing out many of the typos in this mod, can we expect those to be fixed? If not, what else could the users do to help expedite this process?

No, it would be way beyond the character limit.

Would it be possible for you to sort the full list on the mod page here, and separate the child and adult backstories into separate paragraphs? I'm using Prepare Carefully to add my friends into my game, which means sending them links to mod pages so they can see all their character options.

Oskar, I'm a native English speaker and a tech writer/editor, and I'd be happy to volunteer to do a grammar/punctuation edit without touching anything else.

"Vanilla Backstories Expanded was a mod suggested by my patrons right after we released Vanilla Backgrounds Expanded and everyone thought that was the mod adding backstories. It wasn’t. This one is."

...Great galoshes, I would never have guessed you weren't a native speaker, you're quite fluent.

Someone seems to have already done that, actually, in the discussion "Backstory Typos Roundup". The bottom one contains a link, apparently they set it up as a patch and everything. Maybe that will help?

As per the mod description, these are backstories submitted by the community. I am not a native speaker, so unless someone goes over them and fixes them up, I would not expect the update anytime soon. It's not as high priority as other planned updates to other mods.

Let's just say I look forward to when it's updated and these are fixed, I want my 'tuner punk' pawns back XD

Sorry to have disappointed you :)

My goodness! I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden most of the backstories I run into are riddled with typos, bad grammar, and misgendering. I can try to write down a list of the ones I encounter that are like this, but I fear I'll spend more time doing that than playing the game. This is definitely not the quality I've come to expect from Vanilla Expanded mods.

are they aligned with actual skills?

thank god 1.4

thanks the update! Can't wait to try it out for the first time :)

Thank you for the update. It is really appreciated.

Thanks for the update and all the work you folks do across all your mods!

thanks!

Thanks for the update and putting the work into this! Much appreciated :)

FINALLY FOR 1.4 YESS

YES :DDD

I think you just didn't let it download the update :) There is no way to 'not set the tag properly'.

Is it just me though or is the 1.4 tag not set properly? My game still says that the mod isn't 1.4 compatible.
