I found your posts from the rimworld tag and I'm really enjoying them! A lot of playthroughs I've read wind up either too anime or grimdark for my tastes, it's really great to see someone with a similar playstyle to me (essentially, sims with guns). Irwin is probably my favorite of your pawns, but Andy is also adorable.
Also, if you don't mind me asking, what expression mod do you use?
Hello! I'm so glad you're enjoying my Rimworld colony. I'm relieved people seem to like my play style. Sometimes I worry that people will expect more of the oft-memed Rimworld War Crimes to take place, but I can't even bring myself to be mean to Wookshys in the game, let alone the colonists I actually like.
I like your description of "sims with guns". That's very accurate!
The facial animation mod I have active is "Vanilla Textures Expanded - [NL] Facial Animation", which takes one of the more anime-esque mods and makes it a little nicer to look at (in my opinion). It adds a lot of character and makes it much easier to project fun personalities on the pawns. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a mod that stays a bit truer to the Rimworld art style!
Fair warning, the mod does clash with some modded xenotypes, though. For example, the T'au xenotype in the "Tau Armory" mod (Candlelight's xenotype) and the Kroot xenotype from the same mod are supposed to have specific facial designs, but they don't work with the facial animations. I was a little frustrated by this at first, but I already know how to draw T'au and Kroot, and I'm more than happy to extend my imagination when drawing faces for Yttakin, Saurid, and all the other xenotypes too.
Irwin is one of my favourite colonists, too, and I agree that Andy is a very cute kid :D
I drew them hanging out as a thank-you for your lovely message. I hope you have a wonderful day! <3
One last thing, if you're hoping to avoid any darker/unhappy subject matter, you might want to skip over the next post about this colony...

hi you have broken my brain and i am now irrevocably obsessed with jason todd (and especially the way you write him 🥹💕) thank you so much :’))))
thinking so hard about wet soapy jason in the shower and the fact that neither of you would ever be able to shower alone bc as soon as one of you realized your love was in the shower you’d HAVE to join <3
i love how sweet this is.
everytime you grab your towel or switch on the shower Jason appears in your line of sight, shirt already halfway off, an excited little smile on his handsome face.
he’s already telling you—rambling really—that he’s washing your hair first and he needs to condition his because he didn’t have time before and he wants to use the fruity shower gel you love because he likes the way it smells and you both have just this sigh of relief when you press together because of course you feel right at home under eachothers palms.
it doesn’t matter where he is, the second you switch on the water he’s there. you pick up your towel in his general vicinity and his head snaps up, watching you until you head into the bathroom and he’s immediately trailing at your heels.
or, you get home, hear the shower running and before you even enter the bathroom your pants are hanging from one leg. Jason thinks it’s hilarious when you fumble your way into the shower with him, hands already reaching out to touch his soapy skin, all warm and soft and safe.
you both write stupid little messages and make silly drawings on the mirror when it gets all steamy and more often than not it’s a simple ‘I love you’ or ‘let’s fuck later’ with a horrible picture of two stick people laying on top of each other, (you tried your best, okay?).
you know that joke about dads and knowing when you touch/go near the thermostat?? yeah. that. but it’s Jason and his shower sensing ability.
he’s out on patrol, you start the shower and all of a sudden you get a text message from him saying ‘don’t you dare shower without me.’
