Platonic Partners and Friendships

Are you tired of having to date everyone in town to max their relationships and see all of their heart events? Do you want to pick one or more people to romance and be best friends with everyone else? Would you rather not date anyone at all? This mod was made for you!

If you're reading this on the day of release, happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week!

Please report any bugs or other issues either through Nexus or through PPaF's Discord server. It's much appreciated! You can also ask any questions you may have about the mod.

Notes for other mod authors: Thanks to the amazing work of ch20youk (aka moetrash) and KeDili (aka Kedi), PPaF creates mod-provided tokens that other mods can use to check its config settings. Authors adding compatibility patches for PPaF to their own mods will be able to check things like each character's relationship type setting, the custom term of endearment, and the custom relationship label. Furthermore, thanks to AirynS (aka Airyn), PPaF is now i18n compatible! Please contact me if you would like to contribute a translation to another language. Airyn has also overhauled PPaF's content patches to be more efficiently written, which should make it easier for me to implement compatibility with other mods on my end.

Summary of what this mod does:

[]Allows you to use the config to designate the type of relationship you want with each NPC. You can have a fully platonic, aromantic allosexual (sex without romance), alloromantic asexual (romance without sex), or "vanilla" (romantic and sexual) relationship with each of the NPCs listed. Currently, only the 12 vanilla marriage candidates have platonic routes. SVE characters, including characters that exist in the vanilla game but are only marriage candidates in SVE, are not included at this time.

[]Allows you to have "best friend" relationships with any or all vanilla marriage candidates. Changes platonic NPCs' 8-10 heart dialogue and events to be consistent with a close friendship instead of a dating relationship. Removes the "jealousy"-related content that shames you for having multiple 10-heart relationships. Some new dialogue is added, including unique reactions to being gifted a bouquet or pendant.

[*]Allows you to (optionally) have a platonic partnership with an NPC instead of marrying them. The "wedding" ceremony, the divorce book, all references to the mermaid's pendant, reactions from townsfolk, and post-marriage dialogue and events are adjusted accordingly (to the extent Content Patcher allows). Includes config options to specify a label for your relationship and a term of endearment for your partner to address you by. NPCs will treat platonic partnership as an established part of the "mermaid's pendant" tradition that is equally as important and meaningful as marriage. Alternatively, you can propose with the "Fr
