Mod Request: Forever Young Looking Mod

[LittlelSister]

I'm looking for a mod to make my character stop visually aging after reaching certain age ,i.e, 30 years. Meaning, my character still ages normally but it just looks younger visually. I know the mod [Extended Immortality] has this option, but I dont want to make my character immortal.

On the steam workshop there is a mod called Immortality (Updated and Revised) That lets you set your "immortal age" which is how old your character will look. Hope this helps.

If you set the gene_age type to no_aging among portrait attributes, aging stops at about 30.

 

After defining the appropriate trait, add it to trait_portrait_modifiers like this:
dna_modifier = {
     morph = {
         mode = replace
         gene = gene_age
         template = no_aging
         value = 1.0
     }
}

     }
}

Could you possibly go into further detail on how to make this work? I successfully created a new trait called 'unaging' that's applied to every girl (both random and born), and added this code: 

unaging = {
    unaging = {
        traits = {
            unaging
        }
        dna_modifier = {
            morph = {
            mode = replace
            gene = gene_age
            template = no_aging
            value = 1.0
            }
        }
    }
}

 

To trait_portrait_modifiers, but characters with the trait still age like normal.

@aledeth That's weird. On my side, it's working fine.
If it doesn't work with trait_modifier, try with portrait_modifier.

The usage is similar.

 

test_age = {
    usage = game
    selection_behavior = weighted_max

    test_age = {
        dna_modifiers = {
            morph = {
                mode = replace
                gene = gene_age
                template = no_aging
                value = 1.0
            }
        }
        weight = {
            base = 0
            modifier = {
                add = 100
                has_trait = unaging
            }
        }
    }
}

I'll try that today, haven't had a lot of free time to test.

 

I think the initial failure could have been because I screwed up and forgot to add genetic_constraint_all = unaging to my trait, so it never tried to change the genes according to instructions?

 

I'll try both changes, and if it works then yay.

[aledeth]

@pialid So your 2nd fix worked... kinda. Everyone with the trait does appear 30 no matter how old, but it also made kids look that old too. My attempts to make the trait alone work haven't done anything noticeable sadly. 

 

Seems like the only way to get characters to age up to 30 and then stop would be to create a scripted trigger or something that checks for characters at the age of 30 and adds the trait if they don't have it, which is way beyond my knowledge of how to do.

[cfootlg]

@aledeth Ah, I just did a simple working test. Such a side effect... lol
It seems to be necessary to add one more 'age > 30' to the condition.

[aledeth]

That did it, you're a hero. Never considered just adding to the requirements for it to change the appearance.

[Niccotine]

Can you add the full code for your trait?

[omallory]

Sorry for necroing. Is there any other method that does not use any traits so that it affects every characters?

[Guest]

The trait just acts as a trigger. You could set it to activate on characters with a given flag or variable and just seed that flag or variable at game start and/or birth.

[omallory]

@GallowsUK That works. Thank you.

Where?

[cfootlg]

@Klein Moretti Sorry, I haven't visited recently, so I'm just seeing it now.

You can do this by adding it inside a 'modifier'.
