[L&D]Interface + [RPO] New+ HELP ME decide on something! (Patreon)

-----[Law&Disorder] For those of you who weren't in the Poll post:--------------------

For those of you who weren't in the Poll post,  here's a td;lr of what it said about L&D:

Law&Disorder will have Memory Panel as a requirement to avoid overloading the game with similar code when merging them is just better. Here's where I shoved the 'see records' option for now:
(the below is a GIF image file and can' play properly in the patreon app, only plays on browsers)

You can see the mod tracks both when Sims get caught and when they don't. Also tracks people involved, in memory-panel style, not just for fun but also because what a Sim does and in front of or to whom shall impact relationships and consequences in general.

For now all the mod does is track things, but now that tracking is nearly all set, I can get started on applying consequences.

------ [RPO] FYI of Two tiny additions --------------------

I am adding too very small things that were requested by patrons a bit ago.

One is an interaction to take a pregnancy test at the doctor (Rabbit hole).

The other is 'Ask about Pregnancy', which gives in the answer the current trimester, how the feels about being pregnant, and whether or not the Sim wants children.

-------[RPO] the Baby Gender question--------------

So, let's talk about a feature which has been requested again and again and again. That is, preferences for 'baby gender'.

I had this chat with many of you on Discord. My answer was basically 'We'd have to find a way to not make it about baby biology / not make it transphobic'.

In my head, I don't really understand baby gender preferences as I myself don't want a child. But I was thinking it has to revolve around personality hopes because it surely can't truly revolve around baby biology, can it?

So, for that, I originally came up with a pretty convoluted plan.  It would've basically had a bunch of personality related preferences and hopes for how the child could be like - in the end, kinda looking like the chemistry system, except obviously non-romantic.  And in the end opted against that, because it is also unethical for parents to obsess over exactly how they want a child to be in this level of detail.

So, we end up with a simpler model, which incorporates both an idea of personality and an idea of gender, by being formulated around gender EXPRESSION (not a preference for a certain biology, but, what the child could choose to embrace as an identity and what that could mean for their personality).

We end up with a tiny, OPTIONAL feature (setting to turn on / off) whose effect is small (ie gives a moodlet at ultrasound and birth) AND whose writing tries to remains open at all times.

So, the effort is all in the conceptual approach and wording.  I take these 'baby gender' preferences to come from the hope of bonding with one's child, and how we all have an easier time bonding with certain people with certain aspects or characteristics.  So, this is what the preferences are built around. Baby gender as in 'oh I generally bond better with people who exhibit certain personality traits or choices which are often associated with a girl identity, so I would prefer to have a child who is girly too'.

That is the attempt here to create a bridge between outdatedly exclusive binary concepts and inclusive ones.

I initially thought I would just release it done as shown below because it's been so requested and in my burnt out brain I just wanted to 'close the question', but I sometimes know better than to always listen to the burn out part, so I would rather ask first as I am really unsure about it.

Fact is, I have stayed away from it for all this time for good reasons, but in the end, I'd rather try to do it in an inclusive or thoughtful way, than do nothing and then see trans-exclusive versions only appear & circulate. That concern brought me to actually get working on it despite my qualms.

PLEASE share your feedback; if the consensus is that this is bad or should not be in the mod, I will destroy it without a look back.

Here is what it looks like.

Please let's be kind and open minded to each other as we discuss these questions.  Thank you.

Best,
