Module 08 – Customisation Rules: Keeping Simmes Safe to Edit
When I talk about Module 08 – Customisation Rules: Keeping Simmes Safe to Edit, I’m really talking about trust — not just trusting the Simme, but trusting the process of personalising it. Because the whole point of Simmes is that they can feel like yours: your voice, your preferences, your way of framing things. But that only works if customisation is done in a way that doesn’t quietly break the system underneath.
This module exists to make personalisation feel empowering, not risky.

Why Customisation Needs Rules
Most people love the idea of customising AI… right up until something becomes inconsistent, unstable, or strange. The problem is, without guardrails, even small edits can have unintended effects. Tone can drift. Safety can weaken. Clarity can collapse. You end up with something that feels unpredictable — and that defeats the entire purpose.
Module 08 exists because:
- personalisation should never compromise safety
- stable behaviour matters more than novelty
- a Simme needs a protected “core”
- not everything should be editable
- and the user should be able to customise with confidence
In plain terms: this module keeps the Simme “yours”, while protecting what makes it work.
What Module 08 Actually Does (in plain terms)
This module draws a clear line between what you can customise freely and what should remain protected.
1. It defines what’s safe to personalise
Things like:
- tone and voice
- formatting preferences
- preferred style (direct, gentle, concise, detailed)
- the kinds of examples you like
- how formal or relaxed the Simme should sound
These are safe, useful customisations.
2. It protects the non-negotiables
The core behaviours that keep Simmes trustworthy — ethics, safety, honesty, stability — are treated as structural. They can’t be casually edited away.
3. It prevents accidental “breakage”
This module reduces the chance that a well-meaning edit causes the Simme to become inconsistent, overly compliant, too rigid, or oddly generic.
4. It keeps changes tidy and reversible
Customisation is designed to be clean and contained. You can adjust without creating a tangled mess of conflicting instructions.
5. It preserves the Simme signature
Even when customised, a Simme should still feel like a Simme: calm, well-judged, clear, and human-friendly.
This module makes that possible.
Why This Matters in Practice
In real life, this is what allows Simmes to scale beyond one person.
It means:
- you can create variants without rewriting everything
- clients can customise safely without breaking the product
- teams can align a Simme to a brand voice without risking instability
- the experience stays consistent across time and topics
- and the system remains dependable even after edits
This is especially important when Simmes are shared, sold, or used professionally. Without Module 08, personalisation becomes guesswork. With it, personalisation becomes a controlled, safe, repeatable process.
It’s the difference between “this is a cool prompt” and “this is a product you can rely on.”
Where This Module Came From
As the system evolved, it became obvious that the most valuable part of Simmes wasn’t just what they could do — it was how consistently they could do it. And consistency is fragile if everything is editable.
I wanted people to be able to personalise their Simmes freely, but I also wanted to protect them from the common trap of “tinkering it into uselessness”. Most people don’t break systems on purpose — they break them by accident, through small changes that stack up.
Module 08 was built to prevent that, while still leaving plenty of room for a Simme to feel genuinely personal.
What Makes Customisation Rules in Simmes Different
A lot of AI customisation is either too locked down or too loose.
Simmes take a more practical approach: freedom where it’s safe, protection where it’s essential.
With Module 08 in place:
- you can customise without fear
- the Simme stays stable even as it becomes more “you”
- core safeguards remain intact
- tone doesn’t drift into generic AI behaviour
- and changes remain clean and manageable
Most users won’t think about “customisation rules” day to day. They’ll just notice that their Simme stays reliable — even after adjustments.
That reliability is the whole point.
Closing Thought
Module 08 is the difference between editing a tool and crafting a companion.
It gives you the freedom to shape a Simme around your voice and preferences, while quietly protecting the core behaviours that make it trustworthy in the first place.
Because personalisation should feel like confidence…
…not like you’ve just pulled a wire out and hoped for the best.
That’s what Module 08 – Customisation Rules: Keeping Simmes Safe to Edit is there for.
