Another new mod, one that opens up Erenshor's simulated players to custom dialogue.
Custom Sim Framework lets you add your own sims and dialogue through content packs. A pack can add fully custom named sims with their own personalities, voices and typing quirks, new lines for every generated sim on the server, ambient chatter for every zone, and whole guild chat conversations.
It comes with a program to help you set up your own sims and dialog (hopefully easily). auto finds the jsons that are installed after first run of the in game mod, shows a live preview of every line exactly as it renders in game, and checks your work for any issues.
A complete example pack installs on first launch: three custom sims, lines for every dialogue pool, chatter for all 29 zones, and 10 guild conversation topics. Use it or use it as a reference for your own.
I built it because the sims are the heart of this game and I wanted to put my friends in the world. Works alongside Sim Passive Leveling Overhaul and Sim Start At Level 1.
More specifics on the Thunderstore page. Just published, should propagate to mod manager after a few hours.
