I get having one module instead of 2-6, but the main point wasn’t to streamline the categories. The categories exist because each module has a separate function and falls under a specific or several specific categories. Now we don’t know what those categories are. Synergy: Venus Unveiled has Romance & Sex as one of its categories because Chosen of Venus is a Romance & Sex module. But if you click on Chosen of Venus it just says FOCUS. We need the other categories back.

Don’t get me wrong, I am for mentioning corresponding Synergy modul and category in the Focus description, but I am pretty sure @SaintSovereign mentioned that reducing module numbers in each category was a key goal.

Yeah I get that. But that doesn’t have anything to do with listing the categories. When I click on an individual module I need to know what category it falls under. Is it wealth, social, status, emotional healing? What is it? That’s vital information. I understand that the list of modules is extensive and the FOCUS category is a way to streamline it, but knowing what category a module falls under is more important than knowing that the module can be ran individually or in a Synergy module with similar modules.
As a workaround you could use the waybackmachine with any entry from earlier that year. There you can still find the modules in the old categories.
Good.
We want people to think more deeply about which modules go into their customs.
Per your example, Chosen of Venus - we want you to read the copy and think deeply how it fits with your whole custom, your goals and limitations, rather than going “oh, this module is in a romance category, time to add it!”.
This is a similar issue to when people wanted extensive objectives for every single detail in every major, how they interact with each other and all the possible ways of how a title can execute - but it doesn’t work like that.
It is a highly subjective and complex process, and a custom especially is an even more intricate process reserved for more advanced users who are not afraid to embrace experimentation, to tinker with things and are happy to think deeply upon what they need.
Furthermore, putting back the categories onto the FOCUS modules would basically be taking a step back in organization, making the main page of the shop more complex than when we started (SYNERGY + FOCUS modules both).
Next, the SYNERGY modules are sorted per category, with each having it’s constituent modules in the description. Making an all result enhancement custom would be as easy as going to the result enhancing category, looking at the SYNERGY module you want, checking if you want any of the constituent modules and… done. Due to the nature of similarity of SYNERGY, most are going to be in the same category.
Finally, we want people to pay more attention to SYNERGY. Easier to work with for most, while the FOCUS modules are for the advanced users who really want to tinker.
So in conclusion, it’s unlikely we’ll be adding categories to the FOCUS group.

I wasn’t saying that the categories are the determining factor in choosing. Just that it’s good to know where it falls.
Is it easy? Let’s take Lion IV for example. I always found it fascinating that Lion IV was a result enhancement when there isn’t anything in the description to suggest that it is. Lion IV stands out as an alpha module that can affect the whole custom due to it being a result enhancer. There are other modules in the q store that kinda surprise you when you see the category. But now if I go to result enhancement, Synergy: At The Top isn’t there. This might be an error. But even if it were there, there’s no way of knowing which or if all of them are result enhancers. Is it Lion IV? Is it Total Nonchalance? How are new users supposed to know which of the three is the result enhancer? I only know that it’s Lion IV from my memory.
I just think it would be helpful to know what the categories are if people want to use the individual modules as opposed to the Synergy ones. But hey. It’s all good.

The categories have always been more fluid than you may have realized.
For example, I get physical fitness enhancement results from running Revelation of Spirit.
That is not mentioned in the description. With good reason. It is not a “Physical Fitness” program.
The categories, objectives, and possible results listed on the program description pages are starting points.
At the end of the major program Objectives lists, when it often says, “…and many more!”, that is literally true.
Also, a lot of modules that are not listed as Results Enhancers? …are results enhancers.
(ZP itself is a results enhancer.)
Anyway, if you’re ever really wondering about the possible applications of a particular module, feel free to bring it up here.

Now that you mention it, I was wondering about Synergy: Perfect Manifestation. It combines gorgeous manifestor and sexual manifestation and almost reads like it’s from the copy of Heartsong. I’ve always been hesitant about sexual manifestation because I didn’t want to attract people to me based solely on lust or sex. However this synergy title adds a lot more than if you were to combine them separately.
What do you think is the vibe that sexual manifestation gives off in this synergy module? Is it comparable to something like Khan or Libertine? I ask because words like soulmate are used in the copy and I’m wondering how sexual manifestation would affect people when running Perfect Manifestation.

I’d say that Sexual Manifestation will attract companions who are compatible with your sexual style, and who are harmonious with the unfolding role of sexuality in your particular life.
If that style is subtle and implied, then partners who are compatible with your subtle and implicit sexual style will be drawn to you. If that style is brash, vibrant, and dramatic, then brash, vibrant, and dramatic people who like you will be drawn.
Here’s a quote that captures its essence:
Whether you’re dreaming of a soulmate whose beauty takes your breath away or a partner who matches your sexual energy beat for beat, Perfection Manifestation is your guide on this journey.
We recognize that love and desire are not one-size-fits-all. Each of us has a niche, a specific set of attributes we dream of in another. Perfection Manifestation is your ally in this search, offering a bespoke experience tailored to uncover the individual of your dreams.

No - if you’d like NWE, use NWE.
They are different functionalities, although both target wealth. One might not want The Golden One and NWE at the same time, so we’re letting people choose - especially considering the wide range of use for the NWE.
NWE could potentially be used in a wide range of customs (some not even directly related to wealth) in order to make the whole custom lean towards executing through wealth manifestation. The Golden One, while powerful, doesn’t have such custom-changing ability and instead focuses purely on wealth and it’s related aspects.

Funny thing is, I never use the categories. NEVER
When I build a custom, I have a rough idea of what I want, scroll through all 400+ modules and open whatever I fell might fit or I can’t remember the description (that way I’m learning to navigate them better). Then I might have something like 100 open tabs. Next I read all the descriptions and close all the modules I don’t deem fitting.
So step by step I’m nearing in on the 20 modules mark and the custom starts to crystallize.
Without knowing a single category. I let the descriptions speak for the module, and later on, I’ll decide based on my experience with the modules.

That’s closer to how I do it.
I created this document and update it whenever there’s a new module release:
Originally, I created my own categories based on my priorities at the time.
But nowadays, my document looks like this:
I stopped filling in the categories after a while, because my interests had become so individualized that it was no longer really worth it, or I just didn’t find it very necessary or useful.
So now the main point of that document is just to refresh my memory, and to make it easier for me to scroll through and compare everything conveniently.
For me the (loose) steps in designing a custom are:
- Know what I want - this is based on my goals, priorities, and circumstances
- Read through the whole list and pull any modules that are directly or indirectly salient to that focus
- Hone it down to make sure the module are sufficiently coherent and to make sure there are 20 or fewer modules.
Then most importantly:
- Walk with it a while before making my final decision. Way I see it, if it’s so urgent that you can’t wait a week or two, then you may be better off running a Major Program. Because once I do lock it in, my plan is usually to be playing it for a long time.
And other people have their own ways of doing it.
Whatever works.

@AnswerGroup Can Carpe Vitam create ambition and drive by manifesting me a kick in the ass? Since I started my custom a week ago, my work sucks more and more. But that is positive in a way since I’m adamant about starting to apply for better jobs now.

I think Carpe Vitam is more of a natural drive/ambition, more like inspiration, more a carrot. That’s the experience I have with it atm, been on a custom with it for a cycle now.
I feel super ambitious, and have drive, but there is not the self-attack and anxiety if I don’t make my daily todos.

I don’t know how it will work with your mind.
I don’t experience it as a ‘kick in the ass’. For me, it’s more like remembering what inspires me.
You’d be surprised how many people give up not because they’re lazy or because they’re facing impossible odds, but rather because they simply lose touch with what deeply inspires them, and essentially ‘forget about it’. Maybe not intellectually forget. But the body is where inspiration arises. You need to remember it (or rekindle it) there.

Would something like Primordial Aura + Focus: Direct Influencing Aura be alright?
Yes it will be alright. Fire was talking about being careful about adding other aura modules. Direct Influencing Aura is part of Synergy: Primordial Aura and adding both will focus on the said Focus module.

Accidentally left out a module for a custom I just ordered, (Module is purchased as well). Order was placed on Saturday, is it possible to get the module included in the custom or would I have to re-create the custom?
