It's in your Appdata/Local/Carnal_Instinct_UE5/Saved/Savegames

That being said my game is not recognizing these files at all when I drop them in there
Save your game to generate a new save file and then rename my save file to your latest save file's name and replace your newly saved game file with mine. Extra steps because the game maintains a list of save files it created so in order to load externally saved files you'll have to replace the entire 'saveGames' folder or rename-replace a single save file.

I think I went through everything except the dungeons, or my quests are broken??
How did you modify your gamesave ? I used saveeditonline.com for my ue4 3.70 saves but the ue5 files seem to completely fail to save the edits >< What could I be doing wrong ???

Nope, that's the normal intro. Ask the person in the big building about getting your mask off. She sends you to the mainland, where you run and fight a real boss, and get your gear off.

Really, that whole starting sequence needs to be scrapped, because it's just confusing.

Do you have a Good Save linked ? I have only found one with the annubites dead in a ''preggo save'' and a ''essence is borked save'' on another.
Yeah, the devs for this game have a great idea and excellent art but they're notoriously bad at coding and calculating so these issues are way too easy to have if you're not trained in avoiding them.

That's definitely the intended way to go about it. Except depending on your habits of wandering, questing, and dialogue roleplaying, the player can also potentially break the quest to remove their mask and gain a form in one of the following ways:

  1. Dally around asking the lady in the taberna about removing your mask. Her dialogue will eventually progress to a point in which you are locked out of the dialogue choice to get the quest to remove it. Although you can still find you way to the quest in other ways.

  2. Wandering and questing. This game's quest code is so fragile you could manage to break the main aesthetic unlock quest.

  3. Lose the boss fight or save and reload. You can pushed outside of the invisible arena wall region but can't walk back in to start the battle again. Of course this means you can't touch the pillar that grants you the ability to change form.
Bonus: beat the boss then refuse to unlock any form at all. Your mask will fall off and reveal... your still-bandaged body wearing the same exact mask.

"On all levels including emotional and physical, I am a passionless, expressionless, miserly husk of a person."

How many scenes are in the game? Does it have more animation than wild life?
The comparison to this game and Wild Life is interesting, because I "played through" both and they're still heavily in-development. Keep in mind, I played through Wild Life without mods which seems important to the game's actual gameplay enjoyment based on what I've noticed users in that thread saying about how to make the game fun.

  1. Few games have as many animations as Wild Life. Even gallery scene type games like Honey Select 2 (not counting custom studio animation) don't approach the gallery scene size of Wild Life. Wild Life is a sex gallery champion.
  2. However, for what I witnessed in terms of gameplay, Wild Life abruptly ended. Its gameplay offerings were comparable to a very rough and sparse MMO's new player starting zone on its very first playable day. In that respect Carnal Instinct wins, giving an experience that is essentially Skyrim but based in Elswyr, with more Egyptian culture and more scalies.
    1. Note that fans of Wild Life claim that replacing the game's content with fan work enables actual gameplay and maps that feature significant scenery and gameplay. In this respect I am not informed because my time with Wild Life's main campaign was so short I didn't think I could find more that was enough to justify staying longer nor did I expect players to put such effort into augmenting such a short in-dev experience.
I would think these games are not very comparable. I would suggest if you want a sexy gallery check out Honey Select 2, if you want to find sex everywhere check out The Pilgrimage, Unaware in the City, or the classic Wings of Roldea. If you want something like Skyrim but as a standalone porn game instead of Skyrim augmented with Lovers Lab mods, Carnal Instinct is that game. And perhaps Operation Groundzeroes is the Fallout-like sex game. Wild Life is unique. Maybe I'll revisit it by the end of next year and see more content between dev progress and mods.

You're welcome. Although I fault myself for just remembering exactly what your original question was, which is how many scenes there are. Unfortunately probably still a handful of less than 6 in the UE5 release, and way more than that in the UE4 release. Hence the back-and-forth argument that sparsely appeared in the thread every so often. The UE5 build does setting and combat better, and it's developing more nuance to the quests - worryingly better than Skyrim plot-wise, TES 2/3/4 did better than 5 there.

So I'll say it outright: UE5 Carnal Instinct is pretty bad in animation variety. But people who go for this game really want a good free-roam world with progression and beauty. I fault the game for going so hard in the beauty department as far as staff talent is concerned. They're pretty bad in getting functional code to work for UE5.

If anyone would like a save file (UE5) , this one has the male demi jackal and common jackal forms unlocked but there is 7250 essence so you can unlock any other form you want. I saved near the temple of cosmetics so to unlock more forms, go inside and touch the obelisk.
How do i insert this save file. I'm going by the assumption that everyone uses WINRAR? Also, where do i find my own save files. I tried following a comment above but could'nt seem to find it. I'm not tech savvy at all.

How do u do what u do. Where did u even find the saved games folders.

Loading new saves somehow makes the game's performance tank, huge FPS drops, I have load an earlier save so the game runs well

I have a very basic WIP cheat table that edits attribute points (character creation points) and essence points.

(this table is for UE5 2023 12 20 AKA v0.5.12) V0.21

EDIT1: V0.4 = You now can change attribute points main stats manually, currently only useful to increase statistics (aka fire resistence, hp, etc) by a lot, while keeping the actual main stats low.

EDIT2: V0.4.1 = Updated pointers for main stats. The previous ones were broken.

EDIT3: 0.4.2 = Updated pointers for main stats again. The previous ones were broken again.
Thanks !!!! I didn't know it but this seems to be what I really needed after all to get the essence and stat changes on my own saves. Any idea how to add gold , arrows or potions ?? I can't figure out how to scan or locate the address and value of those things. Anyways thanks so much !!! Atleast all forms can be unlocked now ^^,

Copy-paste the following in the file explorer address bar (Windows)

%localappdata%\Carnal_Instinct_UE5\Saved\SaveGames

I managed to figure out the issue, it seems that the game somehow tried to add the current additions of the december build on top of the august build as this save was from the first UE5 build, starting a new save and deleting the first UE5 build save fixed it, now the game runs very smoothly
