Storytelling Socials "Dark" Addon
🕑 Added 2021-05-24 17:45:13 +0000 UTCSo, keen readers may have noticed that a part of SS's description reads oddly.
"There are two versions of this mod: the first is the normal version. The second is the normal version with reduced autonomy."
Why did I even bother putting "normal" in front of "version" if they're both the normal version? Well, it's because there was originally an addon to it. The initial name of the mod was just "More Interactions", sectioned off into two parts: "Light Part" and "Dark Part".
The dark part was for darker storylines when storytelling. Content warning here for abuse; partners could gaslight each other and threaten to harm themselves if the other left. Parents could call their children disappointments and unwanted, and likewise children could blame either of their parents for a divorce.
Personally, these interactions pulled from my real life in one way or another. I intentionally avoided anything that I didn't feel I had the experience to make interactions about, and likewise I would be remiss to carry over the somewhat sardonic tone of SS to this version. Obviously this mod does not glorify the behavior it allows users to emulate in any way. It's just for storytelling.
I never put this out because I figured it was just too dark to be worth it. After talking with some other modders, though, they said it could be worth it to put it out there (with trigger warnings, of course).
And so I submit to you this poll: do you want this version or should it just stay in my backlog? If I put it out, tier 2 will get early access.

For what it's worth, I've been considering releasing some 'darker' content too, in the form of 'backstory' type selections for storytelling as well. If you do, I'll do it too! :P
