Chronic Pain Paras

As someone who is disabled, I was so happy to see just how much disability inclusion was already present in the game’s character editor and through build mode objects. but I still wanted to make a mod to expand upon this inclusion in a way which had a more direct impact on gameplay. I am very open to hearing suggestions on how I can improve this mod!! I’ve also considered adding more traits such as Immunocompromised, so if that sounds appealing to you, please let me know! FEATURES: * A new “Has Chronic Pain” trait will appear when creating your Para, located under Lifestyles. This trait is accessible for young adults and older. * Paras with Chronic Pain will have a random chance of gaining a +1 Uncomfortable debuff every hour (for max +3 Uncomfortable). (NEW) They will experience an increased decay of their Sleep need and how quickly it replenishes. They also have a Medicated need which can be filled using medication. * (NEW) A Para’s discomfort relating to Chronic Pain can result in multiple wants relating to various pain relief methods, activities for distraction, etc. These are rerolled every time you select “Pick a reaction”, so you can keep pressing the react button until you see one that your Para would want to do. * (NEW) The Bigo (Med Meledy) is now a functional item which can be used by Paras with Chronic Pain every 4 hours to fill their Medicated need. * Yoga, (NEW) being medicated, taking a bath, and being asleep will provide temporary pain relief. * 8 new Together Cards can be used exclusively by Paras with Chronic Pain. Additional features I want to add at a later date: * Storycards which will grant either relief from pain or increased pain. * A chance of feeling sore upon waking up. * More Together Cards exclusive to Paras with Chronic Pain, specifically interactions which involve bonding with other Paras with Chronic Pain. * Somehow making the Chronic Pain trait accessible to children and older, potentially through a “get diagnosed” action at the hospital (this action likely won’t reflect the real life struggle of getting diagnosed so it’s easier to give your Paras the trait without going into the character editor/waiting until they age up). * The ability to apply for disability benefits, which will reflect on your weekly bills. * More pain relief methods as they are suggested or as I think of them. * More methods of distraction; I wanted to have video games as one of them, but it turned out to be more complicated than I expected… more will be added as well as I think of them or as they are suggested. * Custom/better looking icons for the Medicated need and the added wants (everything for now is just placeholders) KNOWN CONFLICTS/BUGS * Do not turn the mod off and back on again inside a save you have previously been using the mod in. The trait won’t work properly if you do this. * It seems like the trait cannot be applied retroactively to existing saves. I hope to remedy this with the aforementioned “get diagnosed” feature, but I haven’t worked on implementing that yet, so I’m not sure if it is possible or not. * While I did do a testing with the latest patch, there still is a chance that I missed something. Please let me know if you encounter any issues :)
