Am I need to install the mods? Where do I put the optional files? I use the torrent files btw.

For the game only you need the BetterRepack (50GB), also included is StudioNEO and a few mods for it.
The optional "Sideloader Modpack Studio" includes only mods for StudioNEO, you can skip this if you only want to play.
You can download this Modpack Studio later by torrent respectively the "update" function in InitSetting.

I need a bit of assistance, anytime I try to download the All-In-One (DX R7 Base Game Repack) I get an error of some kind. I've tried 7zip, qbit, and winrar. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Hey guys which new contain have the new R8 ?
First of all: the recent version of BetterRepack is R9b - it doesn´t make much sense to do all the work for an outdated version.
Get it from here or torrent file from here .
I always recommend torrent download, it´s the easier way.
If you direct download splitted packs you have to follow this https://f95zone.to/threads/honey-select-2-libido-dx-r7-illusion.53457/post-8174651

Best unpacker for this game is 7-Zip. If extracting errors happens the downloaded file might be corrupted and you have to download again.

Always place the game main folder on top of the drive and avoid unnecessary subfolders.
Start via InitSetting.exe.

The core game functions didn´t improve really, but some base mods were updated and you need these to use newer community mods. Also newest mods are included in the Repack, you need these to use most newest character cards without troubles.

What BetterRepack version you have installed?
Seems you have an outdated KK Manager, look at the link osnoflax replied to you.

When you update a girls appearance and then overwrite a card save (to keep status and history) is there a way you can customize the card art again or will you forever be stuck with the old card art that doesn't reflect what the girl currently looks like?

So far I found you can only change the cards appearence by making a "Save New".
After arranging your new card say "save" and by closing the creator "Save and Exit" - so you should get 2 new cards, one with the existing status of the character, one with resetted status to zero.

But I´m not really sure so anyway keep a backup of your card in a save location before starting your rework.

You don't need them if you don't use the studio, they go in the Mods folder.

Im really new to HS2 and AI Girl. Is there a de-censor mod to get genitalia in HS2? Or do I have to port it over from AI Girl?
Is there any Uncen release of this yet?
The same mod is used in both, well, different versions of the same mod. It is called Uncensor Selector and is already installed. It should already be working.

You can do this by going through the same process needed to make the card image of a new card, it should allow you to save to the existing card as long as the card is not assigned to a group in game, but this is likely to erase play data gained from using the card in game. Also, if the card is assigned to a group, you MUST save to a new card as saving to the current card is locked to avoid play data corruption.

If you EDIT a card from within the Groups preview window (Personality is LOCKED):
a) all cards: save new - BLANK char status
b) all cards: overwrite any other unregistered card with a new thumbnail or keep same - BLANK char status
c) unregistered cards: overwrite the same card with a new thumbnail or keep same - BLANK char status
d) all cards: save and exit - KEEP char status (and can't change the thumbnail)


If you load and edit a card from the CREATE option in Game or Maker (Personality is EDITABLE):
a) all cards: save new - BLANK char status
b) all cards: overwrite any other unregistered card with a NEW thumbnail - BLANK char status
c) all cards: overwrite any other unregistered card and KEEP its thumbnail - TRANSFER char status
d) unregistered cards: overwrite the same card with a NEW thumbnail - BLANK char status
e) unregistered cards: overwrite the same card and KEEP its thumbnail - KEEP char status
f) all cards: exit - there is no SAVE & EXIT option


So TL;DR: If you made changes to a registered character and want to update the thumbnail,
1. save a new version with the new thumbnail
2a. then either overwrite the new card with the original, keeping the new thumbnail image
OR 2b. load the new card and then (on the load menu) only transfer the CHARACTER data from the original
3a. unregister the original from the group and register the new version
OR 3b. switch the card png file names in the CHARA folder while the game isn't running.

I felt it was worth to actually write it out in detail,
since most people don't realize the subtle differences in save options. ;)

Hi. New to the game. What is part 1-3 mean? Should i download all in one, what do you recommend?
???
If you mean HS2 you have 2 options to download:

a) torrent download in one zip-file ~ 50GB for the game
TorrentR9b.jpg
The Modpack Studio is only for StudioNEO and not needed for the game.
Torrent file from here
In my opinion it´s the easiest and best working way

b) direct download (Google Drive or MEGA) in splitted packs (as I know 15 parts for recent R9b)
Links from here , choose HoneySelect2 DX on the left side
For splitted packs follow this https://f95zone.to/threads/honey-select-2-libido-dx-r7-illusion.53457/post-8174651

Ok - Steam is another construction site.
You have to strictly differentiate between the original game (included in the BetterRepack from ScrewThisNoise) and the new Steam version.

What I described above is how to get the original japanese game version, since BetterRepack R9b with the Steam translation.
To bring the Steam version into the near of the original BetterRepack you need this one https://f95zone.to/threads/honey-select-2-libido-dx-r7-illusion.53457/page-457#post-8285851
From MEGA for example here
SteamSB2-MEGA.jpg
If you want to get an equivalent to the original BetterRepack you need SB2 Full Edition ~ 40GB. To download from MEGA in 12 splitted packs.
As described u only need 1 of these 3 options. But if you want to use all the community mods u need SB2 Full.
This is recommended to use newer character cards without "missing mod" troubles.

On my laptop the game used to run around 30 fps, but with better pc it just seems it doesn't want to work
Indeed there seem to be a special problem with RTX 3xxx cards - you are not alone, look here

Have you looked yet at 'Add' -> 'Item' ? There is a lot of them there everyone under his author title
May it worths for you to have a look at https://f95zone.to/threads/illusion...-studio-neo-scene-sharing-thread.85125/page-6 The catalog covers only until BR7 though.

Another option (which I use to use) is to grab the map of any scene you like, just deleting all the other things and saving the map as a scene for yourself
I'm new to the whole studio thing and never knew you could create your own maps easily with the prefabs and other small things through the Items tab, thank you for the info and the preview images you provided.
