Update on this: I have finished the sperm donor mod! However, I wanted to do basically the same thing to make it work as it did for Name the Father, I just had it piggyback on the Name the Father hack. As a result, it requires the Name the Father hack, as well as the Name the Father token in order to work. The token is currently packaged with the social plugin, which is not required for the sperm donor mod. I could do one of these three things:
Option 1: Repackage Name the Father so that the token, the hack, and the social plugin are all in separate files and say that the sperm donor mod requires the hack and the token. Pros: Simple for sperm donor mod users, and sperm donor mod users don't have to download the Name the Father social plugin and add a pie menu option to their game if they don't want it. Cons: Confusing for Name the Father users. The social plugin will eventually have to be updated when I release the surrogate mod, at which point anyone who had just the social plugin and hack packages will now have to get the token package as well, or it won't work anymore. If you like this, click agree.
Option 2: Don't repackage Name the Father, but release the Name the Father token as a separate package with the sperm donor mod, to be downloaded by anyone who doesn't already have the Name the Father social plugin package. Pros: No change for Name the Father users, and sperm donor mod users don't have to download the Name the Father social plugin. Cons: Potentially confusing for sperm donor mod users, since the token package will technically be incompatible with the Name the Father social plugin package and they will have to uninstall it if they want to use that mod in the future.

Option 3: Don't release a separate token package and just say that the sperm donor mod requires Name the Father. Pros: Clear and easy to understand for everyone. Cons: Sperm donor mod users have to also install Name the Father and have an additional pie menu interaction in their game. If you like this one, click funny.
Thanks in advance.
