More Skills for Paras

While entirely understandable, the limited number of available skills for paras to learn and develop seems a bit sad to me. I like watching the numbers go up, after all, and seeing as Yogo made a wonderful guide on the basics for making new skills, I found no reason not to give it a shot.

What started as a general idea for making the Repair section less desolate went a bit further than I intended, enough that I've refrained from including a number of skills on the title here, in case I ever want to add any others.

For all these, I added the same two basic leveling wants all skills in game seem to have, plus some other things that will be mentioned in turn.

You get the following skills, listed under the corresponding knowledge parent skill:

• Fitness

• Yoga - Only doing yoga on the mat levels this. Comes with a want to do yoga, and paras with higher skill should be likelier to autonomously do yoga.

• Technology

• Video Games - Playing games on both phone and computer level this. Autonomy added for the other three game options, given how only the one from the Among Us collab appeared to have it set at all. Also comes with a want for playing video games. See notes below for compatibility with other mods.

• Art

Vandalism - So you can be judgmental towards your paras with levels on this. Leveling this may also make your para be offered a want to vandalize something.

• Repair

• Cleaning - Washing dishes and mopping level this. Cleaning soot and beach cleaning should as well. Paras with higher skill have a higher likelihood of cleaning autonomously. Leveling wants for this one are likelier to be offered to paras with neat cleaning habits.

• Fire Safety - Only extinguishing fires or paras (self included) can level this. Paras with a higher skill level are less likely to panic when there is a fire on lot. There is a chance of a want for extinguishing a fire to be offered when there is one on the lot.

• Repairing - Levels from repairing objects, just as the parent skill. Reading about repairs on bookshelves, however, will not level it. Comes with a want for repairing an electronic if one is broken on the lot, and paras with higher skill levels will be likelier to autonomously repair broken objects.

Notes

• Playing on a computer with any of the [Play XYZ game in Paralives] mod won't earn your para experience for the video game skill because this tests for specific interactions, nor will it complete the want. A compatch might be possible if I knew the GUIDs for those, but I did not make any attempts.

• As a general rule, all want icons used are those from the game that were labeled with terms similar enough to what I needed, because despite the tooltip when setting an icon showing directory when you hover over it, I could not, in fact, find whichever folder it's referencing icons from. They generally look fine, though, even if some were noticeably not meant to be used for wants.

Modest features beyond the addition of the skills themselves, I admit, though I did try to go for completion with them, to make them at least have the same base wants true skills from the game do. Perhaps more will be possible in the future as we learn more about the game and it continues to evolve.

Please do inform me of any troubles or suggestions!
