Been playing around with this mod for a bit, must say I really love how in depth it is. I do have a few suggestions if you are open to them.
1. Add an Apolitical/Unaffliated option, for sims who are either unsure on where they align or don't care for politics.
2. I see prefrences only have a left, right and center option, prehaps you could also include "Political Opinions" as a way to add in some more nuance behind a sim's beliefs, such as a Progressive sim who is also supportive of Firearms or a more Conservative sim who is more open to the LGBT+. Opinions could be tied to specific topics, specific sims or specific actions which would also affect a sim's mood and prehaps choosing a prefrence that is normally contradictory to whatecer the alignment normally has it as, the prefrence takes priorty.
3. I personally don't have any issues with the Gurus being based off actual people, but I imagine some people might not like that so much, and although it would be easy to manually change everyone, I would suggest a version that has all Gurus be original characters instead.

Ahh thank you so much ! I am glad you are enjoying and i ALWAYS welcome feedback! Your suggestions are great ! i have received the same feedback from others on the apolitical trait and fictional gurus and they will definitely be part of my next updates next week :)
Great idea on incorporating the political opinion into preferences i think that will definitely add more depths to gameplay. I think this will be something i could incorporate when i have been able to add more features like elections, politicians, etc .
If you need a list of political opinions, I could suggest a few.
I already mentioned Firearms and LGBT+, others could be Faith, Womens Rights, Mens Rights, Drugs, Crypto (Or some Simified varient), Imigration, Medical Freedom/ Vaccines, Abortion, Freedom of Speech, Taxe.
I would've included stuff like Enviroment or Veganism, but that might be contridictory with the Enviromentalist position. Maybe theres more other people can come up with as well.
