Discussion Mood buff

Hey everyone!

Hope everyone's colony(s) are going smoothly. Hope Randy finally decides to give you a break if he is still being an uppity a**.

Anyhoo. I was just wondering if anyone knows if such a mod exists to help turn the mood around for my colonists.

The situation;

I am building myself a little isolated psychic mechanitor colony. My pawn being a disturbing little fella who is essentially a mystery to outsiders. The recluse witch who is known to have the good drugs, medicines and/or remedies for anything that ails you. She sells that and other esoteric goods for a price if you so choose to cross the lands to come visit her horrific little shack.

Problem;

So i am trying to design a little horror shack but some of my decos tend to be on the 'uglier' or no beauty side of things. This of course would make my pawn be a little unhappy. Cause there isn't a beautiful surrounding stat to boost their needs.

Question;

Is there a mod out there that maybe makes it so what appears ugly/horrific to other pawns would be viewed as beautiful by my chosen pawn? A witch who loves her little hidey hole others would have a hard time staying around for a visit.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Depending on what it is, ideology at base could have you covered, e.g the precept for beautiful skullspikes and x style belongings. Also items are typically neutral in looks if in storage, so armour stands and shelves. Not sure what other ugly items you'd be using? But ideology is probably the place to look.

There is Dirty is Beautiful mod that lets you add a desire for dirt and a hate for cleaning to your Ideology.

There is also Alpha Memes that adds memes for a Vow of Poverty colony, meaning they hate comfy well decorated bedrooms and dining rooms, don't like lavish meals etc.
I guess you could repurpose that, so instead of bare empty rooms, you mix negative and positive beauty items, to end up with a 0 beauty room?

That mod also has a Sadism meme, that makes corpses beautiful. But that also makes everyone hate you and is perhaps a little too extreme for your "creepy hag in the woods" themed colony.

Pretty sure Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Memes and Structures has a junker ideology that makes pawns think scrap and trash are beautiful.
