there is an ending for a female character in this game when you play as a female character

Is that a question or a statement? Punctuation matters.

, and AAU modules add marriage as an unofficial 5th ending.
Pregnancy is the one condition that is strictly feminine. How differently things go when you have a female player character is for you to see for yourself.

The uncensor is fine. It likely doesn't work with the AA2 download given on this F95 thread though, that's designed to use pp2 archives instead of ppx archives. If you use the Modern AA2 install guide hosted on Google you would download the AA2MiniPPX over torrent, then every other modern file works as they come in ppx format.

How do i lower the virtues of NPCs through gameplay?

Some modules lower virtue, and others implement a corruption point system. See the modern guide and find your first modules through a git repository from the guide. Other modules are found piecewise in user repositories listed near the top of the download sheet in the Google spreadsheet book.

Please, no - think of the neighbors.

To add on to what was already said [do not use the DDL link in OP]: hopefully, you did not forget to UNcheck "use .pp2 resource loader" when you checked "use .ppx resource loader". All them fancy PP options should look like

. Oh, and the "MKlll/ClV" option underneath? That one needs to be checked, too, for the uncensor from the Modern Guide to work.

So... i return bearing grave news. I did some testing on my post a couple pages back, about whether interactions actually incur penalties. Im sorry to say, but ALL interactions that fail incur penalties (and all interactions that succeed give like/love points). Not even the "maybe some other time" variants (depends on character), the "softer failure" - they just incur lower penalties.

Ive been goofing around to test this, which included woo-ing both a regular hetero chick and a lean homo chick. The hetero one was easy - two days in and she was hanging off that tree branch, if you catch my drift... The homo one took about 2-3 ingame weeks to even get to a range where she would accept, and then the chance of her accepting was anything between "fuck off and die" and 12%. Ultimately, i managed to pester the homo chick for long enough, that she (most likely) accepted out of pity (hey, a win is a win!).

A couple of ingame weeks later, i would end up dragged into the cafeteria by the local school slut. Local school sluts being local school sluts, she assaulted me with a kiss, which i was having none of - i retaliated with a kiss of my own...

Ive heard the all too familiar yelp, and all hell broke loose. The homo chick caught me and i became the target of a barrage of breakup requests. Welp, after the third one ive accepted her plea (due to fearing the consequences would be worse... they were, but i will get to that). If a relationship with a bi or hetero chick holds up on both love and sex, a relationship with a dyke is held up with duct tape and dried up chewing gum... but thats a different topic.

Now... the homo chick is the main "target" of these tests (the hetero chick is clueless, and will remain so - ive learned my lesson here lol). According to Qtedit, after the breakup, shes had her love and like counters reset to zero, while dislike and hate counters went up to 15 (they werent there before [they were at a healthy 26, 4, 0, 0], so i guess thats the penalty for refusing to break up twice and accepting the third time, i guess). The wiki would have you believe to start grumbling with the person that hates you, as it would, supposedly, reduce their hate count. Thats all nice and well, but grumbling merely replaces hates with dislikes. In other words, NPCs that like you will (almost) always refuse to accept grumbling, while those that hate you will (almost) always accept - the choices here are inverted. Yes means no and no means yes. The only use for grumble, is if you have that one male NPC constantly bombarding you with lover requests - grumble to him a number of times, so that both yours and his LLDH hit rock bottom, and he finally fucks off, while also disliking you.

So, back to the topic: ive tried to "patch things up" with the heath... i mean, the lean homo chick, and my results werent going anywhere. Due to following the wiki, ive only made things worse - while the hates disappeared, they were entirely replaced with dislikes. So now i have a ex dyke GF with a LLDH of 2, 3, 24, 1. Good stuff... nothing can be done here, as she refuses any sort of interaction... or most of them anyway (the chances are anywhere between 5-20%). Ive been keeping count of the LLDH in Qtedit, and the "last 30 interactions" tab ("history" i believe its called) showed 90% dislikes, some hates, a few loves and likes. It occured to me, that the only way to actually gain like and love points is to completely skip the wiki nonsense - the answer is rumors. Find people the target is friendly with, and start bombarding them with both requests to improve relations with the target, while engaging the target themselves and telling them good rumors about their friends. This increases mutual relations with all parties, while not incuring penalties (due to higher success rate). Shame i figured it out only a few hours ago...

Getting past that, the talking interactions: every failure incurs a dislike penalty. Larger or smaller - its always there. Similar stuff for contact interactions - if you get refused once, thats a dislike. If you try again and get refused once more - thats a hate.
Cant really put this in quantitively, since i was not paying THAT much attention, but every interaction carries a gain in LLDH.

Whew... that was longer than it should have been.

Oh, and, if your GF (or BF) asks you whether you like someone other than them, the right answer is always "NO!!!". The hetero GF asked if i like the ex, and i stupidly said yes, so now she holds the "cheater!" status against me, even though i didnt do anything with the ex since the breakup. Fun stuff.

hey everyone i finally resolve my problem but i wanted to know how fixing fps? my setting are on win10fix dgvoodoo 2 because this is the only way the game dont crash but a got fps drop anyway to fix it, thanks you

What was the problem and how did you resolve it?

 

[JustAl]

The modern install guide has recommendations to fix FPS on Windows 10, but it also recommends you only try these steps absolutely only if you're having problems with your FPS on Windows 10 or a newer Windows version. When trying the Windows 10 FPS fixing steps, try each step one-by-one, as the guide suggests. Only when you're sure one step didn't work should you continue to the next step.

Um... is it possible to turn off the call outs to do something? You know, "lets go study" or "lets have sex"? I just got duped into one of those call outs and it didnt pan out well - my GF called out to have sex (we stumbled into an orgy while making our way to a tool closet ) so i accepted. Thing is, i ended up buttfucked by some horny bi guy. Would rather avoid it if possible in the future...

Ive tried using the advanced tab to disable it, but the call outs icon is still there and functioning.

in the section of "Other sources". It's the place where I found it after hours of following random links on notepads.

I understand this is the interest of a minority, but it was a pain. Currently, there is no trail to follow from the guide, or the other sources linked on the main page, if you don't want your partner's dick to disappear with the CIV uncensor (or different, strange, problems with other uncesors). So I'll also leave this here in case it helps another poor soul and for my own reference if I need it again.

[tiikerihai]

I tried the middle card, Demon general one. I don't really see any obvious issue with the card itself and he works. You could try renaming your overrides folder to get a fresh extract of the bundled mod files and see if that helps at all. They do sometimes get corrupted.

 

[Monosomething]

Alright. What the hell is going on here?



If you notice, the lean homo chick next to my character is my lover since *yesterday* (she was the one to ask, not me). Weve had sex yesterday, and the status window said the usual "mai waifu" (lean homo characters never fall in love with the opposite sex, btw, so no "lets get married!" or "overflowing love"), but in the morning this day, it went from "mai waifu" to "lovers, for now", and now it dropped to this. Mechanically speaking, nothing changed - dealing with her is still like trying to hand-feed a velociraptor, but she is compliant for the most part. What puzzles me here, is how could this happen? Her Qtedit LLDH stats with me are 24, 5, 0, 1. I have not cheated on her (read: no hugs, kisses, gropes or sex with another NPC). That one hate could not have possibly swing her status like this, could it? Or is it the presence of another dyke (the teacher position) thats the problem? More importantly - this specific status only shows if you havent reached 30 total count in LLDH, which i most certainly did. This save is over two in-game weeks old by now (although i have added the 4 bottom characters a week and a half ago, including my time-and-space travelling/body snatching PC).

Im legitimately confused.

EDIT: Day 3 of this...



My assumption about another dyke being the issue was correct, it seems. See the change in the status? No, dont look at the lover, but the teacher. It kind of surprises me, since the AI in this game is... primitive, to say the least. It doesnt have desires or goals like in EU4 or similar strategy games. It doesnt plan ahead. Its just a simple numbers game, resulting from interactions, and yet, here it looked like my lover "saw" a better potential partner and had doubts? Or something?

Still confused about this.

Nice to know you're enjoying the game and experimenting Monosomething! I guess you're using fewer characters than the full 25 to experiment with moods more closely and cultivate your relationship with the queer character across boundaries and study how the game's relationship mechanics work.

From what time I have spent playing the game, I feel as if the game degrades relationship points automatically, either by pure loss per period and per day, or through simulating social activity between transitions as if it was happening even when it wasn't -- which would make sense to provoke relationships to form in the midst of a player who rapidly chooses to skip to the next period constantly when they're farming stats.

I recommend you check out the

You must be registered to see the links

to decipher what's happening.

She proposed to be your lover but mechanically shouldn't do that. Assuming she was able to toggle the flag for lover on in the first place, the transition of her not being your lover the next day means she somehow forgot she was your lover. This is a trick certain modules do on purpose sometimes, but in this case it was spontaneous. For her to court the teacher would only add another lover to her list and not immediately break your relationship status.

Onwards to the next day. "Mai waifu" rank means you have max love with the character, but have not declared Lover status. This is expected in the case that she forgot your Lover status. "Lovers, for now" means she has suffered a huge love points loss for you at some point, and "Don't know" generally means neutral.

I remember some interesting relationship evolutions during my time playing. Simulated dynamic disposition changes and NPCs spreading rumors to each other can affect your relationships significantly, so watch out for your character's name appearing in student dialogue. If you see someone spreading bad rumors about you, talking to them to get higher opinion of you to stop the spread of negativity is wise. Although some characters are designed to wreck reputation severely and often so that's where fun with jerk characters and assassination / jailing fueled by custom module triggers gets involved.

The game seems to favor neutral or low relationship disposition, so even hetero lovers would separate without positive interaction.

Well, i have not modded the game in any way. In fact, i have followed the document posted in this thread somewhere to get the most up to date version of the game and get it to run, but nothing beyond that, so theres no... issues with any mods - the game is pretty much stock.

I have read the wiki before, and honestly? Apart from 3 or 4 statuses in total, the rest is utter junk. The "hate, but love" might make you worried if you get it on a lover, but that just means you have 1 or 2 points of hate to, like, 28 points of love. Fearmongering is what is it. Another stupid status is "close friends, but not quite lovers". This one means absolutely nothing. Now... im not sure where the "breaking point" is on a scale of 1 to 30, but im guessing its 15 points? In that case, "close friends, but not quite lovers" might mean a 50/50 split between love and like... which, in the grand scheme of things, doesnt do much (from what ive fiddled with the game) - one needs to go beyond 20 for NPCs to accept any relations. What i have learned, though, is that low virtue characters only need likes (which that lover of mine in the pic above is - i think my LLDH with her when she asked to be lovers was around 9, 21, 0, 0), while high virtue ones need love. Theres other factors, obviously, like traits and sexual orientation, but overall - this seems to be the rule.

And yep, yep - the player doesnt exist in a vacuum, and in this game, the NPCs i havent bothered with might very well be spreading bad rumors about me. Especially the schemer ive added. I have checked across all NPCs in Qtedit to see how all of this is developing, but i did notice the "Dont know" crowd to have a few LLDH points here and there. They didnt get them from me - i only spoke to each of them once and gave each a "praise" to remove the "Havent spoken to" status. If the schemer turning people against me is behind this (twisted) relationship of mine... i mean, im number 2 on the strenght list, while hes at the bottom - if hes got a problem with me, "step right up, buddy". I like to "tend" to my girls - i just drop by from time to time, given how busy things might get in this game, and drop them a talk about love or sex. Just to keep them interested. It doesnt look like stats drop on their own - its primarily bad rumors people spread or failed interactions that account for that, but to drop from "mai waifu", through "lovers, for now" to "dont know" would require a breakup to happen. It didnt, and as you can see, on the next day the situation fixed itself. And, to correct you, "mai waifu" is the lover status (declared). Otherwise you get pointless statuses like "i think i like them" or "overflowing love" (if orientation allows).

I did a test a while ago. Just me and a teacher. The first interaction i initiated was simple - a praise, some talk about weather and such. You know, just to get to know them. Then the chick leaves... and returns a couple seconds later (no other NPCs but us), and the first interaction of hers with me was, and i quote, "Lowlife!" I was so amused with this, it was ridiculous lol
That one just proved to me that what NPCs do is totally random. Theres no plan or reason in what they do and how they react with one another. Its just numbers.

My very first game of this was with a full roster. Problem was the same then as it would be now - with this many people its pure chaos in the school. The largest class ive made next contained 15 characters (teacher and me included in this number), divided into 3 classes. I dont aim to create a harem, since i find it physically impossible to keep all of the girls happy and... unaware of each other. The NPCs talk, spread rumors and do other nasty stuff all the time. All it takes is for one to ask another if they like me, which results, among other things, with a slap on the face. I also aint greedy, which is why i put a bunch of male NPCs to do "stuff". I just let things play out and frequently play a loner just to stay outside of all the drama and watch it unfold. It is fun.


What would really make me excited would be a mod that displays the LLDH for the NPC i am interacting with, so that i wouldnt have to end the day and visit Qtedit over and over again to see what went on or changed. Yes, its just two clicks, but its two clicks i could do without. Oh well...
