My wife hates rats. AKA she has looked at the ysoki and already doesn't like them. Anyone else have this problem. Before the game is release already leaving them out or rehashing them.

No. I'm pretty sure both my kids have at least fifteen Ratfolk concepts for Starfinder.
Fievel In Space! coming soon to a theater near you!

Mice are different than rats.

The art is similar enough.
And good luck telling my mom there was a difference between the two. :-)
Well, that's not a problem I can relate to in the slightest... most people in my orbit are not merely okay with ratfolk, they're actively psyched at the chance to unleash all-Ysoki parties on the cosmos.
In a setting with such rich racial diversity, I'd simply cut the rat part out and paste in whatever lap-sized or smaller mammal she favors. Call it good then and there.

There's always space hamsters.
The cosmos shall be sprayed with their musk!

i actually am not that fond of Ysoki either but for me its because they look too much like regular mice, rats and hamsters. Sort of like a children's cartoon design rather than a workable body plan for a humanoid species... i dunno, something about them just break immersion for me, cant take their look seriously.
I have the same problem with catfolk. I wish they had a different name (I thought I read one somewhere, but cannot find it now.) and hate, hate, hate the pics of them as big cat-heads on human bodies. I much prefer the pics of them like the one in the bestiary. Despite not being digitigrade and having more human-like features, that pic seems more non-human and downright alien to me, especially with that slinky house cat-like pose. I love it.
The tengu give me a similar feeling, but not quite as bad since they have talon-like hands and feet to go with the crow face and feathers.
My first character's background includes a deep hatred of the Ysoki, as he was embroiled in conflict with a Ysoki gang which ended very badly for him and his best/only friend. Can't wait to see how that gets handled ;)
Not quite the same as simple disgust with rats in general, though.

I will make some bug people flirt with my girlfriends character just to weird her out... :P
