Others Completed Artificial Academy 2 [MiniPPX v8] [Illusion]

also does anyone know of a mod that stops the pc from interrupting npcs?

For you to be complaining about this, any selection of these 2 scenarios is happening:

1. You have put the player character in Auto mode, so they are now effectively an NPC.
2. You are trying to click on a character to talk to, and on the way you happen to click a character in conversation and you are now interrupting them.

If your issue is case 1, you fix this the same way you restrict NPCs: reduce the NPC logic for causing interruptions. A

has this effect to a partial degree, but it's not hard to make a module that notices a character is targeting another for conversation (an event), checks the action to see if it is an interruption (an action check), and if it is cancel that action (a new action).

If your issue is case 2, get used to opening the roster and selecting your target like that in a crowded and narrow environment. It's annoying but not too common. It may be easier to select the character, tell them to follow you, then walk to your favored location and proceed to talk to them. This will alleviate having to select them through the roster menu every time. Also note the color of the circle around their feet -- if it's yellow, they're talking and you'll interrupt them. Right-click to interrupt your action of trying to talk to them. This is also useful to avoid following a character into an opposite-gendered bathroom or changing room and being seen as a creep.

I tried uploading an updated version of the game (so no walkthroughs would be required) but unfortunately it takes roughly 10 hours to upload and when I get disconnected or my internet shuts off I have to restart dunno why my upload takes so long when I can DL twice as much in like half an hour but yeah ill keep trying

 

[Hasselnut]

GUYYYSSS this happens everytime I try to have sex, but the character uses preset looks so idk? I don't have any new mods so I really feel lost

edit: nevermind I reinstalled from scratch and now it works. great game

 

[Monosomething]

I feel like i have to make a few corrections to the guide ive posted. The same thing happened again in my game - the low virtue, lean homo chick offered me a relationship once ive crossed 21 like points with her. Seems to me like its a strictly low virtue character thing. To make matters complicated, shes already in a relationship with a lean hetero chick, with which i have nearly reached relationship status (im missing like 3 love points to 21)... to ask or not to ask and have two pussies wet for me, rather than fighting each other? Advice?

Someone once said "A picture is worth a thousand words". So here you go - two thousand words in two pictures.

I have titled this masterpiece: "The power of Rumor"



Wheres my Noble Prize? Or whatever the fuck they call one for artists?

 

[_nyxx_]

 

[JustAl]

Damn I knew rumors had effect but not that much, Monosomething! Kinda gross, though it explains how much hate I perceive when I start a character with hate using the Loathesome module and start seeing negative rumors about said character start to appear.

Since you play and test a lot and I'm mostly playing the editor and rewinding saves back to zero, let me tell you my current scenario.

I often opt to start a character then I overcomplicate the heck out of it with custom triggers until it's so thickly full of To-Do work that I embark on another character and the cycle repeats. Yeah, I'm on my 3rd incomplete character now but this nutty one might actually get finished.

So Monosomething (and probably Tsugumi too), what is the expectation for how many days the player will play with the same class roster? How long is gameplay supposed to last considering there are periodic exams and supposedly you're playing a class during one school year? The reason I ask is that the in-dev character has a gimmick where she gets more open and slutty with internal cumshots, so I'd like to space the increments apart with the expectation of 1 per day. So... how many days do you think the player will play a class for the long-haul before they stop so they see all the character progression but it doesn't end too soon?

Also it'd help if someone can confirm maximum mood magnitude. I saw a module custom named "Relaxer" that sets mood to Relaxed magnitude 10. The reason why I'm asking is the character has a gimmick where they perform worse in fights if they're horny, but I want to set it to an amount that's reasonably possible but not too easy. I'm artificially adding factors that make her horny too so at the very least, I wanna know if there's actually 10 ranks of magnitude to a mood before I set the condition to "== 10" or ">8".

The game goes for 6 weeks before looping back again. It is up to the player on how long they want to play in the end though.

 

[Monosomething]

Damn I knew rumors had effect but not that much, Monosomething! Kinda gross (..)

Yes, it is gross, but you need to remember that in order to reach this level of dislike magnitude, ive had to grind her for, like, 4-5 days straight. Every break period 3 tries to sell her lies, over and over and over the course of the day (if she accepted all 3 - that would be 2 dislike points towards the target per period). Another thing to note is that every time she told me off, i would gain the dislikes instead, but since this one was a pure hetero - simple love talk brought her back in line in terms of LLDH.

Ive tried to use this trick on a lean homo chick ive had eyes on, and some guy was clearly (mutual "i think i like them..." status) making moves on her, but i kept failing, earning a ton of dislikes in the process as a result. Had to go the roundabout way and get her to like me much more than she did him, at which point, slowly and painfully, i was able to reach % chance of 66+ %, and then it caught on (im sure there have been other factors, like the guy failing at asking her out, which increased her dislike of him and added to the pile, but you get what i mean).

I have had games that looped in on themselves without an end, so i guess you just keep going until you have achieved your goals. Effectively - its 3 exams over 6 weeks. The wiki claims that theres endings to this game. Pregnancy, murder aaaand... something else, but either im not good enough to reach any of them, or very careful, to not piss off the evil characters (theyre so annoying, though - they will never allow you to break up with them, so you linger with the relationship you dont want + that impacts other relationship opportunities, because higher virtue folks dont want to be a part of a harem).

Its a sandbox game, after all. Do whatever you feel like, until you get bored. Or change up the class once in a while, if the NPCs get too annoying/boring.

In my current game, ive kept the same roster ive had in that pic ive posted - waiting for the athletics exam, with a goal of banging every chick there is to bang. Im already a slut (thanks, game!), and theres only 2 chicks left (out of 8) to go. I will wipe and restart, once i get there... and probably download some character cards to mix things up. Who knows?

Though unrelated to your question: i REALLY loathe the H-compatibility mechanic. It makes no fucking sense. Assuming you dont cheat, and dont give your character all of the sexual preferences, you will end up in situations, where if a NPC shares at least 1 preference, you will skyrocket with their compatibility, but if they share none? In that class, theres 2 chicks i bang... more or less regularly - each of them generate between 250-400 compatibility points per sex session. Nice and easy - just bang them once during a break period and they stay happy. Funnily enough - the girl in the pic ive posted? I am completely incompatible with her, meaning that every sex session with her earns me 50 points. 50 points is the number that you lose DAILY, so in order to build up compatibility with her, i would have to fuck her non-stop for the whole day, just to open up some new sex positions. I will honestly have to start looking for a mod that disables this mechanic. Im sick of it - its like, you forget how to fuck someone over a period of a day or two, because you didnt have sex with them for a day. What the fuck, devs? Seems like they really didnt like the idea of the player having a harem. Some other chicks, on the other hand, stay at 1 point of compatibility (absolute minimum), because... well, just like IRL, theres not enough hours in a day. Sex takes time, and theres more to this game than just sex... like tossing rumors around, making certain groups hate eachother, or just observing the NPCs struggle with their pitiful existence. Social chaos!

Seems like no matter what I do, this game just consistently crashes. Unfortunate, I heard nothing but great things about it, and since other Illusion games have gotten stale to me I was looking for something fun and unique to play.

 

[Tsugumi]

The wiki claims that theres endings to this game. Pregnancy, murder aaaand... something else <...>

1. Murder.
2. Pregnancy, which branches out depending on whether the girl likes you: if she does - marriage, if she does not - expulsion.
3. Teacher-specific: you get fired if you get caught having sex with a student several times (3, I believe?). Fun fact: "caught" means "interrupted" rather than "spotted", so if you disable NPC -> PC interruptions - PROFIT.

You know, it's impossible to help you when you're that vague. By that description you could very well be using the version linked in OP, and that only works on Windows 7 or release (no updates) Windows 10. Crashing would be normal if you're using outdated version on an OS it doesn't support.

Doesnt there need to be a class president present for that to happen? If so, i wouldnt worry as a teacher - in my current game, the class prez is running around stopping people from fighting and having sex, while in her spare time shes taking dick in the main hall of the school. Fucking hypocrite...

 

[remotelysexy]

This includes extra clothing, right? Then why can I only choose vanilla clothing?

 

[Tsugumi]

remotelysexy "This" being what, exactly? The downloaded game itself? No. You need to add harderlinker and CCC mods for that. Links to them are available in the Modern Install Guide in OP (where I assume you got the game from, right? Because DDL links in OP are outdated and should not be used).

 

[Monosomething]

Gone on a shopping spree, getting a bunch of new cards to spice up the gameplay. I never check the cards before the first day ends, and this chick came up to me and asked me to fuck her on day 1, so... *clears throat*

If any of you can guess what is wrong with her, you will get a virtual head pat.
I can give you a hint, though:

Monosomething, I play weirdly disadvantaged characters on purpose in a masochistic way so I've gotten the murder ending a few times and witnessed a murder happen to an NPC.

1. Once my character exited the cafeteria, bumped into a callous student, and he killed me for getting in his way.
   
   
2. Another time I was playing a lady teacher and this whimsical student kept harassing my teacher lady. I turned down his proposal he tried to commit in front of the entire class, and he proceeded to murder me for refusing. In front of the entire class. The teacher had lucky trait so he got arrested and the teacher survived.
   
   
3. Then some girl killed my character for getting too involved with her lover. Because they both had lucky trait it cancelled into mutually unlucky and the result was a death and an arrest.
   
   
4. Another time when playing with the heavily-customized Shapeshifter / Body Snatcher etc card I posted earlier in this thread, my soul was forced into a boy I knew was a capable murderer: the boy who stabbed my teacher in another play. I went up to talk to this analytical boy I knew who was capable of murder... and he killed me, saying that he finally found me. It turns out they had beef so my attempt to pass the murder job onto someone else to keep me safe backfired and I got murdered. Once I rewinded back and replayed I was soul-swapped into said 2nd murderous boy. I tried to stab Hadahako but she was scripted to nullify murder attempts so she just turned it against me and killed me. She also had a very eerie custom behavior in which when threatened, she will smile and laugh with her eyes closed, then open violently bloody eyes and threaten to kill me. Cool trick, transitioning into a different line via trigger midway.
   
   
5. Then another time, I accidentally interrupted a pair during a student orgy, which got the boy mad. He then saw his girl getting groped by another boy, and killed him in front of everyone.

Modules and triggers make fun and spontaneous chaos.

Jesus, were on a completely different level here. I avoid evil characters like the plague (got stuck with one in one game, as mentioned about not being able to break up with her, but did not get killed), so im cautious to the extreme. Now im just keeping this chick "entertained" (just raking in likes) but refuse any and all sorts of contact, otherwise.

I think ive noticed the "you seen me so i will kill you" thing, but fortunately (or not?) nobody got killed. The way i see it - shes a ticking bomb waiting to go off - if anybody gets along with her - thats gonna be rough for them. My tendency of checking QtEdit every day saved me quite a bit of trouble here, i guess.

Funnily enough, the combination of the model itself, as well as the VAs acting made her really sweet. I was kinda disappointed that she turned out evil AND lowest virtue. Oh well.. "half the world is filled with this flower".

Here, youve earned it!

 

[CorpseFucker134]

im pretty much new to this game, and it's customization tab is giving me aneurysm lol, any vet here have any small guide on how to use it?

oh and why do some modded clothes i downloaded refuse to appear?
