Vanilla Expanded Races Highmates and RJW

[fuuuuuuuu]

Is there a compatibility patch for VE Races Highmates and RJW? The Highmates seems to use a different lovin mechanic than RJW, causing many aspects of the mod to not work properly or at all. 

 

I think the Highmate mod is one of the most interesting parts in the Vanilla Expanded series for RJW, so I'm wondering there is no support.

the reason why there is no support is because neither side is interested, the VE team avoids RJW like a plague and nobody on RJWs side has stepped up yet

why would we anyways?

lovin need? - already in RJW

sex hungry sex slaves? - rjw has nymphs and a submod adds high libido genes which are added to highmates already i think, so its piss easy to make a blue skinned sex hungry xeno type without highmates expanded

rape? - already in RJW

what are you missing out while playing with RJW mods but without highmate expanded? one or two insignificant genes and a Royality quest reward event

I've actually started using less and less RJW with Rimworld due to more and more of the features becoming DLC/Mods on Steam (which get more support from the steam modding community)

As stated by Skömer above (but in reverse), the Highmates add a good number of the features in RJW, Biotech added Fertility & Babies with a better alien system than HAR, and as it's DLC everything supports it, Ideology added Sexism and Vanilla Expanded also added Orgies.

Idelogy - Polygamy, Sex Focused Colonies, Sexism and Mods have been made to add different fetishes of different Kinds, required outfits, and so on.
Biotech - Romance, Pregnency, Fertility, Babies, Fuckdoll/Catgirl Species, Libido Genes
BondageBed Torture - BDSM Furniture
VFE - Highmates - Initiate Sex, Extending upon all the Sex stuff from Biotech.


Then there are mods for: Samesex Fertility, Forced Gender Species/Herms/Femboys, Slave Colonies, Milkable Humanoids (+ pipe networks), Hypnosis, Diaper Fetish, Bondage Gear (Both Cosmetic and Effective), Latex, Transformation, and this doesn't even cover all of the things that "could" be fetish related if pushed in that direction.

Also with all these mods not based on RJW they have a lot better multiplayer support (I have not been able to get a stable game running multiplayer even with RJW being the only mod) and work alongside more mods.

The only things we don't really have from RJW on steam is Rape, Bestiality, Mechanoid Sex, STDs, Cum effects, Good Sex Animations and Viable Genitals (Sized Apparel Does work with out RJW, but it's not on steam so it's on this list).  Really if we just get these mods separate from RJW I probably won't even touch RJW anymore as everything else is just more stable (not saying RJW isn't stable, but add-on mods may not be), more supported and typically works with Multiplayer Properly.  And as such since most of my colonies don't rely on the things missing, well, I prefer missing out on those few mods.

The main thing RJW (and addons) adds I use in my games is just all the different types/combinations of sex. I got RimNude and the RJW animations just cause RJW looks kinda weird without the animations. I'd definitely also abandon it if a version more compatible with other mods that do things with the "Lovin'" interactions went up.

 

Until then though, I'd also very much like a compatibility patch, cause as it stands between the choice of RJW and everything that depends on it or VRE-Highmates, I choose RJW, even though I really like VRE-Highmates.

I suppose this is a little late, but the ReSplice: Charmweavers mod includes a compatibility patch between Highmates and RJW.
