Childhood Backstories Mod

Author of the Childhood Backstories Mod: Zylleon

The Childhood Backstories Mod adds childhood backstories for colony children. Backstories are assigned based on what the child actually did/experienced for proper immersion. Backstories come with skill modifiers, which are added to the child’s skills.

Childhood Backstories Mod features

Childhood backstories are populated when the child turns 13, as this is when vanilla assigns the “Colony child” backstory. Teens will have a blank adult backstory, and will have a title based on their childhood backstory. Adults will have the normal adult backstories.

Suggestions for more backstories are welcome! If your colony has a specific child you want to suggest a backstory for, please include screenshots of their bio and records pages, along with any other relevant info.

Compatibility notes
