Hey everyone! Hope you are well.

Some confusion here..

I managed to install Hanmen's Shaders and Textures. I used latest KK Manager to install. I manually installed the included plugin in the bepinex pllugin folder. Shows up in KK manager.

The main body Texture works great, shaders too.

However face is weird.

All show up fine when freshly open/reopening chara editor ingame.

But disappears when I want to upgrade my current cards with a countour in the game.

View attachment 2520814

The problem stems from this specific countour that was selected.

I tried loading a another character without this countour. Applied skin, then countour.. But then realised the skin reset to default Type 1 and all of Hanmen's skins are gone..?

Very weird, would appreciate some insight!

Thanks
Seems that the 3 [HappyMod]_FaceTypes allow only a few skin textures - same in my game, but don´t know the reason.
If you want a girl with braces you have to waive Hanmen & Co

A very popular Face Contour is Type02chw - here are all Skinis working.

The biggest resource eaters are the too many character cards themselves
By displaying in the editor, the mods are loaded for each preview card
It will be a mods monster
Start the game with a maximum of 100 cards

Check out which plugins can be switched off in the KKManager.
The KKManager also shows the dependencies of the plugins
Do I need studio?
The plugins are not lost, only renamed .dll -> .dl_

A "monster" PC is no guarantee to run HS2 smoothly.

Most important is a correct install (for shortest file pathes e.g. D:/HS2), avoid registry fixer and keep your game fully updated.

Any way to get the uncensor without having to download 11 3gb+ files, lol
The uncensored Bodies are included in BetterRepack sinc I started with this game - version R4.0.

If you don´t have the BetterRepack it makes no sense to use an older version than the recent R12.
But now I have good news for you: the BetterRepack (for game) is now ~ 60 GB to download :ROFLMAO: (16 splitted pack files or torrent download).
The Optional Sideloader Modpack Studio (~ 150 GB) you don´t need if you only want the game. It´s only usable in StudioNEO.

U can try to download the single zipmod files of Sideloader Modpack - Uncensor Selector from here , create a folder with this name in your HS2/mods (if you don´t have) and put the zipmod files there as they are (don´t extract them).
But I´m not sure if this works in a game without BetterRepack.

In my experience the amount of cards is only important for loading times but should have no influence on playing the H-scenes.
If you have the game folders on SSS improves the loading speed significantly.
Recently I cleaned out my chara/female from ~ 500 to 240 cards, but recognized no significant change in the games flow.

Ingame you only have access to these cards in UserData/chara/female. But it´s a good idea you store (if you don´t want to delete them) old cards or WIPs you don´t want to play outside your HS2 main folder, so the game doesn´t have to load them at any start.

That's correct.
I used to have all my cards in the chra folder, now I only load the ones I will use to play. No significant improve in game speed but in loading.
Could be the amount of zipmods loaded? Or a Plugin who make the game go slow?

Sry - no special experience, cuz fortunately never had performance issues :love:
I only can guess that the amount of zipmods is influencing loading times like number of cards.
And I presume that all default Plugins of BetterRepack should work well together.

I guess the necessary mods weren´t loaded correctly at the first start.
Or did u run update meanwhile and now the mods are restored?

the problem happened AFTER i ran Update from the launcher. after a while of loading different cards i shut the game off as only that specific card had the eye problem. when i launched the game the day after to follow the advice you had given me...it was fine. :/ it's probably as you just mentioned, the mods just fell into place and loaded fine. haven't had a problem since.

HI!

If you have downloaded the update *.exe file from here: you only need to run that file and everityng will update.
Make a copy of your /UserData, MyMods, BepInEx/Plugins, cubemaps, lentsdir, presets, DHH_ Data folder, those folders then have to be Copy-and-paste in your new instalation.
Okay thank you for helping

HI, can I rename the HS2 folder freely or there is a particulary procedure? Ty
If you run it as standalone (without windows registry) you can choose the game main folder name as you like.
Recommended is a short name like HS2-R12 for less characters in file pathes.

And be sure to locate your game folder on top of a drive and possibly not C:/, e.g. D:/HS2-R12.
Also avoid unnecessary subfolder like [ScrewThisNoise............] - sometimes created while extracting.
