[RPO] More v2.9 Info & Previews

Hello everyone,

We're closer and closer to the release of RPO v2.9 so, figured it's time for another info dump about it, so I can gather your feelings and feedback, and change course on some stuff if need be!

On to business:

- RPO v2.9, List of (Most of the) Big Changes 

Give the list a peak if curious. Otherwise, you'll see when it comes out!

Little zoom on the look of the menu:

We now have just one menu instead of two, and I've tried to organize things better.

Long story short:
LOTS of changes, very few new feature
(can't do everything at once).

'What are the new features, though?', I hear you think. Well:

- Adoption gets a small new system for between-friends and between-family adoption (been promising it 'for v3' but v2.9 shall be it)

- Fertility and Miscarriages get two different risk systems each, for you to choose from according to your preference.

- Romance Stuff: Sims can Choose to be celibate, always faithful, or non-romantic with specific Sims (duplication of broad features from my lgbtqia+ mod, per popular demand)

- More romance stuff: duplication and large expansion of My Meet&Mingle! dating app stuff from lgbtqia again.

In case you are thinking 'Dating app you say? Tell me more', here's for you:

- Semi-Blind dates auto-match your Sim with another, but lets you preview them before agreeing to meet.

- 'Browse All Profiles' lets you see all sims available

- 'Browse by filter' lets your Sim specify more precisely what type of Sim they're looking for.

Building and Viewing Profiles:

On the App, Sims get a 'real', visible dating profile:

It can show personality, career, likes and dislikes, relationship preference from Open Love Life, etc etc. Want it to show more stuff / something else? Feel free to share suggestions :)

Your Sim can (a little) build up their own Profile, too.

- NOTE: these are PERSONALITY / VIBE BASED Turn-Ons / Turn-Offs:

I would rather not do physical attraction as other VERY popular mods (Turbodriver, wink wink) already do it to your satisfaction; for the physical I'd rather ask him if I can integrate for his stuff to be read here, or somethin'. (Clothing style should be as far into that territory as I would go as it is often a statement of personality!)

Here's the type of stuff those ons / offs are & will be:

IGNORE the duplicated icons, haven't put the individual icons in yet.

Apart from impacting match filtering and auto-matches, I have not yet decided how far I'll take those in terms of effects, but you can reasonably expect Some Stuff.

ALRIGHT that's it for the RPO v2.9 Update Notes.

IT STARTS ITS TESTING TODAY.
It will be a LONGER testing because the mod has basically undergone major surgery and everything is subject to have problems, even stuff that had none before, so, testing all is very important.

I am very tired (my hands hate me) so, I will take the time it takes to wrap the v2.9 up.
Starting next year, I've resolved that I shall treat myself better and not push too hard like I've been doing for so long. You'll hear more about this then.
For now, I'm tryin' to finish this update.

I hope you will enjoy it when it's all tested up and ready to go : D

You are more than welcome to express feedback and / or concerns, if any.

Thanks for your support <3
