Etheria's Romance Overhaul: Mod Roadmap

A full, highlighted version of the roadmap is always available on my site http://etheriamods.com/
That version is always up-to-date with current and planned features.

Once there, you will see these highlights: Green = done; Yellow = in progress; Red = planned;
? = figuring out, maybe possible but not promised

        · Choose to automatically decide these traits for your Sim or others via CAS data

            o This option will allow you to decide physical traits based on CAS, because some might prefer some of these traits to be automatically decided in Create-A-Sim. However, if you’re using custom content, you know that sometimes you change your eye color via face paint or tattoos and hair via custom colors, and you really want to manually retain the final decision of what your Sim’s eye color or hair is considered to be, so I’m sorting out the manual route first.
