a shame indeed.
Honey Select 2 is better. No, they are not the same, they only share assets so one can use player created assets from the other.
Granted ANY game with as much time and interest as AA2 has had to have mods developed will be superior in that regard. Unfortunately, there are some issues with crashes in Artificial Academy Unlimited, which the workaround version, AA2Mini, uses. That's not an issue in this game. Koikatsu isn't that big a disappointment, the modders did a huge job by adding pregnancy where there was only talk about it in the base game, not even talk of having become pregnant like the AA2 game over, but actual visible pregnancy. That is a major undertaking on the development side. AI Shoujo was a disappointment on the modding side because of its disappointment in performance in the base game. It was so bad that even high end computers have trouble getting above 20 FPS. This essentially caused a mass exodus of modders once Honey Select 2 was announced as Honey Select 2 is similar enough in its code to need minimal work to port existing AI Shoujo mods to it, a bit of work, but not as much as creating the mods from scratch. Honey Select 2 hasn't been around that long, so it still needs a bit more time. Mods are in development, one of which could add positions in the future. A mod called HS2Plug.
I played AA2 (2014 game) back then when there wasnt even unlimited and etc, people used to talk about the dlcs. We had new personalities, new poses, new rooms to do H stuff, to give an example. Might be around 2017 2018... Kk is about 3 years now.
There was more interest in AA2 than Koikatsu because a lot, and I mean A LOT of things AA2 could do, was not carried over and people were expecting Koikatsu to be AA3. Both have this 'underage content' because they have the setting they do, though high school DOES NOT mean under 18 since most school systems hold the final year of compulsory education around the age of 18 by pure chance. Example, the fourth and final year of high school in the US usually falls around students' 18th year of life. The pregnancy is actually functional. The girl will grow within a certain number of weeks, then leave school to deliver and recover, and finally return appearing as normal.
Honey Select 1 was easily their most popular game among the only people that matter to them, Japanese customers, because, apparently, all their Japanese customers care about is making the girls look good even if those customers will never actually use the girls in game. That's why the focus is always on customization ever since Honey Select 1 and why gameplay suffered in Koikatsu and Honey Select 2. This one was a bit of an oddball since it did focus more on gameplay, but that doesn't really matter much when the performance is so bad that you can barely play properly anyway. Koikatsu 2 or Honey Select 3 are pretty much a guarantee unless Illusion branches out and sees what their new legitimate overseas fans would prefer, which is likely to be more of what we want, gameplay.
Yes, because that's what high schoolers are ,even at the legal age. Most humans don't technically completely cease development before age 25, though most changes passed age 18 are mental. There is, too, simulation and relation stuff in both Koikatsu and AI Shoujo, but you are right that there was a lot more in AA2. Yeah, I don't do much of AI Shoujo anymore because even my mid range can only get up to 20 FPS with 6 girls. Now, obviously some of that is RAM used by the Extra Girls mod for the two extra positions, but not all of it. In fact, I used to never get below 40 FPS, then things got shifted around in the code. I'll bet at least one DLC is to blame for some of the performance issues based on how I used to have good performance on this game.
Nope, they are programmed to remove everything. If you're talking about hair pieces, just don't use hair accessories as part of her head. The only way is to get them to not change clothes, which means lowering her humanity stat, but that will also have other effects you may not want.
The game itself has not been updated for a long time, the mods do get updated, though, which is what each Better Repack release is about. If you don't already have the version before the newest update, it is suggested to download the full thing.
When you load the character in maker there are a number of check boxes asking you what you want to load. They are all checked by default. If you uncheck "Character" you get the card without the stats.
