Question: Is it possible to mod the random conversation topics that appear when chatting with idols ("x stubbed her toe this morning")? What about the weird quirk thingies ("has a poster of Leif Ericson")? I love them but I feel like there aren't enough right now and would like to add some

I'm sure it's possible to edit the ones that are already in the game via the game's files, but I am not sure about adding new ones.

Yeah, check these files:
*game_folder*/IM_Data/StreamingAssets/Languages/en/JSON/Idols/trivia.json
*game_folder*/IM_Data/StreamingAssets/Languages/en/JSON/Idols/date_conversation.json

Just copy them to your mod's folder and edit them
*game_folder*/IM_Data/StreamingAssets/Mods/*your_mod_id*/JSON/Idols/

Keep in mind that:
1. Your edited files will be loaded in addition to the default ones (unless you tell the game to ignore original files, see https://itch.io/post/822259 )

2. ID's in trivia.json should be unique. You can just use some random numbers like 12000, 12001, 12002 etc. This way people can use multiple mods that change these files.

Very cool, thank you. Should I use the same trivia types that are already there or is it unimportant? What do they do if anything?

"_default" and "family" are the main ones, and the others are variables you can use (like "Has an older [sibling] who [older_dev]"). You can't add new types
