Okay, unrelated follow up question, but are there any modules (or ways) to have hetero characters gain LIKE points towards opposite gender characters?

So that, effectively, they could gain Like towards the opposite gender, without gaining Love for the same gender?

im not sure about organic gain systems but what i do have this global module:

Everyone Is More Friendly

You must be registered to see the links

its a global module that basically ensures people who dont have any like/love/hate towards someone already, will gain some like points toward them. so people arent strangers, and everyone is a little more friendly.

Well, no. Hetero vs hetero and homo vs homo interactions do NOT generate like points. At all. Thats the problem.

If i were to, say, populate my class with nothing but hetero chicks, while myself playing a hetero guy, the chicks would ALL eventually generate enough love count to start trying to get in my pants. If i kept refusing them - they would start generating dislike and/or hate. Like points, while obviously as toxic as dislike points (more, actually, as with dislikes alone you just wont be interacted with, while like points cause NPCs to seek interactions with you), would still make them a pain, but they would stop trying to ask you to become lovers or keep asking you on dates. Furthermore - with nothing but like points nobody would compete over anyone.

Like points are a filler, and sometimes are useful. It would take a lot of pressure off a card/PC if you could friendzone another card of "compatible" orientation, but you just cant.

i am very confused because you can walk up to anyone including a homo girl as a guy and get like points from talking about hobbies and such unless they are in a bad mood (or have any of 50 reasons to decline the interaction lol. ie if they accept the interaction they gain like points)

not love points though. because the orientation modifier reduces them to zero

also i have no idea how you are getting free love points ? some trait on your PC ?

if you have a traitless modless hetero guy, and never actively do Love+ interactions, no one gains love points for you

Updated my post above.

i friendzone npcs all the time and their orientations have never mattered for that, can you tell me how you would reproduce this problem so i can try it?

Err... what do you mean "problem"?


Put one hetero card (male), one homo card (male) in class and see what happens.

this only applies to the love interactions (love lewd touch kiss hug praise massage[max] ) though is that what we are talking about right ?

a standard Hobbies talk for example will never generate love for anyone between anyone, and neither will it fail to generate like if the roll is successful, unless there are multiple other factors at play (traits, etc) not just orientation

*sigh*

It applies to ALL interactions.

A hobbies talk from a hetero guy aimed at a hetero chick is a pointless interaction. It does NOT generate any LLDH, since theres no like count between the two orientations. Similarly, a homo guy talking about sex to a homo chick will generate nothing, since those two dont generate love count towards each other.

Love talks between a homo guy and a hetero chick will make the guy generate like points, but the chick will only generate love points.

Isnt that diagram clear enough?

EDIT: im thinking YOU think about lean and bi orientations. Those DO generate both like and love count. But the two absolutes do not, depending on orientation.

*sigh*

am i being gaslit? lol



this is two traitless characters. pc hetero male, erina fem homo (i removed all her traits and set all stats to normal same with pc)

I walk up and do standard friendly actions and whenthe roll is good there it is right there. Like points going up

so what is happening? Lol

Uh... yeah. A guy (any) talking to a homo chick will make the chick generate like points. Duh.

Now talk to her about love or sex...

 

[BudgetPro]

ah interesting, so i switched it around and made the PC male homo, and the npc fem hetero

and my friendly interactions with her dont make like points! but romantic actions do make Love points.

So this is because as PC you are overriding your characters orientation by doing romantic actions to an opposite gender, and the game simply allows it.

But why isnt friend points going up? that seems like clearly a bug lol.

might be something i can curb with a module tho

Now talk to her about love or sex...

why would a girl who only likes girls gain love towards a man who is flirting with her? Love should obviously be zero for that, and it is. that is normal.

we were talking about LIKE points and you were very much confusing me since this interaction works as expected. there is no reason all homo female would refuse to be friends with any hetero male. that would be clearly a bug, but the game is fine on that as it generates like points.

the fact that this scenario reverses when PC plays a homo character, that is definately a bug. there is no reason why all traitless hetero female should refuse friendship with a homo male. that is Illusion braindead shit again lol and up until this moment i had no idea this bug existed.

Ill test some other orientation combos as well just to see which scenarios actually have the bug

What?! This is NOT a bug! Thats how things work!

"how things work"

what? in what universe are all hetero people unwilling to make friends with homo people of the opposite gender? Now you are definitely trying to gaslight me lol

Well... i just hope you *NOW* understand the diagram i posted above. You wouldnt even need to test anything if you just read it.

Well... i just hope you *NOW* understand the diagram i posted above. You wouldnt even need to test anything if you just read it.

are we trying to argue the semantics of "Bug" vs "stupid 'Feature' made by stupid developer" ?

because im more concerned about the philosophical side wherein your diagram you say "the basics in real life"

Includes such blatant logical fallacies as:

1) two hetero people of opposite genders are incapable of being friends
2) all homosexuals refuse to be friends with heterosexuals of the same gender
3) all heterosexuals refuse to be friends with homosexuals of the same gender (THIS IS LITERALLY THE DEFINITION OF HOMOPHOBIA BRO)

none of these are real life unless you are stating that it is the natural requirement for people to be homophobic and some other wierd forms of heterophobic ?

Lets talk about actual reality

if the devs intended this to be a "feature" ie they intended for all hetero characters to be homophobic,

thats blatantly fuckin moronic. and bigotted. and therefore i reserve the right to call it a Bug purely out of hope for humanity lmfao

 

[BudgetPro]

the crazy part to me is that i failed to run into this bug in all the classes ive played, or at least failed to notice. though i guess its true that the vast majority of cards i own are either leans-hetero or bi ...

i still find it weird that illusion created guaranteed homophobia as a default lmFAO

also i can probably change this

 

[Monosomething]

guaranteed homophobia

Just like real life hahaha

 

[BudgetPro]

Just like real life hahaha

nah its just bigot propaganda from religion. the default is to not give a fuck at all and never have invented either the words or even the concepts to begin with. "gender" is an entirely fabricated concept. the only factuals are that some people have different appendages or different hormones production rates leading to varying shapes of humans.

a child has to be TOLD to not be friends with gay people. or told they cant ever be "just friends" with an opposite gender.

Its not nature its nurture. the evil side of nurture.

and its easy to unlearn. its in fact much easier to be friends with all genders and orientations than it is to try and tiptoe around people your whole life. anyone who walks around creating anxiety in their head wondering if the person they are just meeting for the first time is Gay or Trans or just cross dressing or what meat is between their legs... absolute psychopaths lmfao. and yes i agree that is unfortunately "most people"

I think youre taking Illusions shit coding way too seriously. This isnt the first time they fucked up, and im sure its not going to be the last, with Ill-Games now taking over.
