Nudity

Nudity is a concept and mechanic in RimWorld that relates to a number of moodlets base on how clothed a pawn is.

Mechanics

Colonists require some amount of clothing to avoid the Naked -6 thought. The amount of clothing required varies based on Gender. A male colonist requires clothing that covers the legs in order to not be considered nude. A female colonist requires clothing that covers both the legs and the torso in order to not be considered nude.

The Nudist trait removes the need for clothing. Each clothing has a "Clothing (for nudity)" statistic in the information panel. Nudists are able to wear clothing listed as "Clothing (for nudity): No", like a Cowboy Hat, without losing their +20 Nudist Naked thought.

Ideology DLC completely changes the nudity mechanic. Different precepts alter the clothing requires of male and female colonists. Biotech DLC has the gene Furskin which overrides base game and Ideology clothing requirements.
